[@bradtelecaster]

I was there, it was great, I got to meet Kris, he and his wife were as nice as can be, met Cher too, Merle too, it was a night I wont forget....thank you for this...

[@sicksixsicks]

this is a blaze foley song. not disrespecting merle one iota, in fact giving him kudos for doing this song. its a beautiful track. the world is a sadder place with out blaze foley.

[@pattivanlandingham2951]

It certainly is a sadder place without Blaze. Regret that my family moved to Austin area too late to see him perform.

[@brucewilliams9476]

Sure is and Blaze's version is still the best of all the rest.

[@66badsign]

This song opened the door for me. The door to Merle´s magic musicroom ! Thank´s !!

[@Hagfan789]

I remember the first time I heard this song...It was at a HAG show right before this album was released. Great stuff. Album released in 2000 titled, "If I Could Only Fly".

[@rockymountainrose8189]

Wow, this is a beautiful acoustic version by Merle. Thanks

[@debbiemcwilliams2789]

Lort who is that one weirdo who down thumbed this performance...my condolences to that poor, poor soul

[@stevejones3942]

I just read an old article where Merle was not wanting to make these appearances with Kris...he just didn't think he could do acoustic,,,, wow, Merle you worried too much!! Awesome as always!

Great.........

[@countryboycharlie9793]

Merle and blaze was great friends

[@bagoesv.leeuwen7413]

That is not true.

[@sicksixsicks]

agreed blaze foley forever and ever.

[@kmcwhq]

FIVE stars is not enough for this......I'd rate it 5 x 5

[@stevecobb9230]

Not even close to Blaze Foley’s version, he lived the lyrics in his own life.

[@torreyjeff]

it's important to me that folks know the original version, and the person that lived through what it took to write the song. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eH63aGmVor53jJI

[@bagoesv.leeuwen7413]

This song belongs to the writer and singer of this beautiful song. It is Blaze Foley. Not merle haggard.

[@normanmcneal3605]

Do y’all know how many songs Merle gave to young up and comers?Some unfinished. Do y’all know how many musicians that went into the twilight because of new fads, that he asked to come play in the studio? Who exactly did Blaze Foley help? Merle didn’t compete against songs he shared

[@whitegiant]

Well Blaze did help one of the most prolific and original country singers of the era, Townes Van Zandt

[@steatipygous]

Comparisons are obnoxious.

[@TheDuckmonk]

Watch out for vampires Kris

[@lucyloose2841]

What a shame Kris didn't sing or play his harmonica

[@jeanettesmith765]

I love Merle, but he doesn't come close to singing this as good as Blaze.

[@keithkellogg5325]

Kinda bad playing but a good song
