Merle Haggard - "The Farmer's Daughter" [Live from Austin, TX]

From the 1978 Merle Haggard album 'Live from Austin, TX' available on Limited Edition Color Vinyl at Walmart.com: newwst.com/walm...

"From now on... all my friends are gonna be strangers"...how was I to know THAT was the name of his band...HE could sure turn a phrase....im 75 now & for a poor South Texas hispanic I sure liked his music....grew up listening to Him...Willy...George...Conway & others...time passes & waits for no one...

[@FrankB-ik3ix]

I'm 55 n was raised on there music live in Kentucky and I got to c him a few months back he still sounds just as good as when he was young he's 72 now I think he said

[@lilolmecj]

He was certainly a gifted artist. I guess his personal life was very troubled, it he managed to bring that into his songwriting and performances. Country music today has very few artists who are capable of the same connection.

[@carlramsey1117]

​@Carole Just Carole , lol, "country?" singers these days?, lol Aint many that sing country. Poor ole country radio or so-called country radio play what has, in the past, been referred to as pop top 40. Not saying that 1 of em hear & there are not fairly decent BUT not country. & I'll admit there 1 out of every 20, 30 that do song real country. I haven't listened to the radio in probably 3 years. I love the outlaws, thats the 1s that sing what they've lived. & they wont, for whatever reason play them on main stream radio. I have playlists & a Bluetooth speaker so who needs any radio? Plus no ads or commercials1

[@startreker8591]

Was a revelation for me that he did play the fiddle, omg…my cumpadre y his singing friends introduced me his works in the early 80 when I was in the Isla de Felipinas y I fell in love with the man…though Elvis is my man …now I have some 3 (:; this song I haven’t learned yet on my guitar…got tele martins y guilds…y I learned harmonica …piano …Martin ukuleles; we had sung a lot of gospel songs too as a family…I am a soloist like my dad whose voice is cultured baritone tenor

[@radiotvgod]

You might enjoy knowing that Bob Wills personally gave Merle his fiddle on the stage at the Academy of country music show at the Hollywood Palladium many many years ago. Bob was in a wheelchair at that point and he leaned into Merle’s ear to thank him for the job he did on the tribute album Merle had done on Bob… and said “Ya done it right“. I know this because I was there and recorded it.

Merle Haggard was to country music what Elvis was to rock and roll. Country music will never be the same again.

I’m 73 and consider Merle to be one of the greatest of all the C & W singer songwriters. I just listened back to back to Holding things together and this. I like to think that Farmer’s Daughter is the sequel, showing that Angie and her Daddy turned out OK without Alice
