Merle Haggard - Silver Wings & Okie From Muskogee

Silver Wings was written by Merle while on an airplane in the late 60s.
"Okie from Muskogee" is a song recorded by American country music artist Merle Haggard, which he co-wrote with Roy Edward Burris. "Okie" is a slang name for someone from Oklahoma, and Muskogee is the 11th largest city in the state. The song was released in September 1969 as first single and title track from the album Okie from Muskogee, and was one of the most famous songs of Haggard's career.

Thank you great Voice

[@Louise1563]

Merle is my favorite country singer. Just love him. He not only can sing but wrote all the great songs he sings. Thank you for posting. I starting listening to him way back in the 60's still have the 33 1/3 albums of his. Now I have them on CD.

Thanks Louise for taking the time to share your thoughts.

There are not too many singers today who sing what I call "COUNTRY MUSIC". The ones I can think of off the top of my head are George Strait and Emmy Lou Harris. I grew up listening to Merle, Loretta Lynn, Conway Twitty, Tammy Wynette, Dotty West, Waylon Jennings, Tanya Tucker, Crystal Gayle, Gary Stewart, Glenn Campbell, Don Williams, Dolly Parton & Porter Wagoner, can't forget Elvis who had a few country albums. Todays country music to me is just a lot of NOISE. They play the music too loud and don't sing but scream. Each year country music gets worse and worse. I don't listen to many newcomers, instead I listen to the old timers I listed above. Hope this helps Glen. Louise
