At 84 yrs. old Merle is the best Country Western singer I have ever heard in my life. His songs told the story of his life. That's where real country western music comes from. These singers that have told their life in their music comes from the heart and soul. I can go back many years as a farm boy born just a few years before WWII from up country Maine and I listened to country music all my life going working in the barn. Rock & Roll was okay but there was too much Make Believe wording put into it. My check out time is not too far down the road at 84 yrs. old. I am former USAF, U.S. Army..Sgt. First Class..retired, Federal Law Enforcement Officer..retired..disabled, Nationally Certified Operating Room Technician..worked all kinds of surgical cases for 22 yrs...God Bless Country Western Music into eternity...Sgt. Ron..retired,.disabled May 2024.

Priceless. I just started listening to Merle and becoming a familiar with his work. I'm completely floored by his talent and showmanship. I just recently watched his Austin City Limits concert on KZbin and his performance was amazing. I love Waylon and Willie, but I must admit there's just something about Merle that all the others just can't match. The way he carries himself, the ease in which his talent flows. He makes it all look so effortless.

Back in the day, my friends and I rode our motorcycles all over the Western United States to attend all of the Hag's Concerts. Countless Country Vocalist's began leaving true Country behind hoping to draw a larger crowd, to sell mere records and tapes by going Country Rock and the like. Merle Haggard never done that, never even considered it... Many years ago, His Bus stopped at a Truck Stop here in Utah. He was handing out black & white pictures of himself, and sharing a Bottle with people in line. I'll never forget just how real, just how he fit right in with us common folks....

The year was 1993 and it was a hot August day when my mama died. Later on when going through her meager possessions, i found a Merle compilation tape with his music from the early '80s. I was a heavy metal guy, but i knew my mom loved this Merle guy, so out of respect for her i took the tape and listened. I was blown away by the 'realness' of Merle and his music. Touched me to the core and was hooked. Surely hope to shake his hand in Heaven some day and say a simple thanks, maybe even with a tear or two. Love you Merle. Rest easy.

Until then, thank you for the uploads like HIll Billy and Amazon(that's where I spend most of my free time now)! Hag's song "Are we going down hill" pains me now to listen to it.....I truly feel we have been and are especially with country music. But, his last repeat of the chorus is changed up a bit to say that it isn't and we should not go down that path! So there is hope, always hope! :)

Thank you for this. I got to see Mr. Merle Haggard in Albuquerque. Bonnie Owens was there too. Think my late Husband myself and our daughter have all his records. Miss him but I'll see him someday in Heaven.

I'm so sorry I never got to see the hag! He was ONE of a kind! His music was great. His voice was amazing. He was an all around terrific performer. He always seemed to truly enjoy singing and playing guitar. And he could be funny with his band members. I listen to all of his recordings and love him more and more each time. Love ya Merle❤❤❤

Hag was more than a mentor to me. He and Freddy powers saved me from a despair that brought merle to tears. For thirty years he stood by me, in ßpirit and in song up and down I 5doin right or doin wrong he was without a doubt the biggest influence in my life and his daughters Kelli and Dana were as sweet to me as anyone could be. I wish I could find themjjanie girl

This is an excellent live concert from Haggard. He must have been great to watch live. I missed it. I was a bit too young at the time of this concert and had not yet "discovered" the wisdom and subtle nuances of country music. I have always been more of a classic rock/blues kind of guy.

MIchael, I am almost 60 years old and grew up listening to and dancing to Merle, but only was familiar with his commercial hits. Now that I am older and have lived life and seen heartache and loss and many ups and downs, it's his music that gives me most joy. I can now go research all of his albums and listen to them. He was such a fantastic musical genius and he left all of us a tremendous gift. Like Emmy Lou Harris said, "just take any of Hag's records and let the needle fall, that's will tell you what country music is about."
