Merle Haggard "Workin' Man Blues"

The Poet of the common man paid us a visit on The Marty Stuart Show.

[@donmcc6573]

If anyone in Nashville is watching, this is country music.

[@user-le6vw3uf9j]

Merle is my favorite country singer and song writer of all time.....sing it Merle.....

[@jakemitchell1671]

Absolutely incredible! The man is older than Mathusala here, and he steps up and just NAILS IT! Not a flat or sharp note in the bunch...his timing impeccable, and he even works the microphone distance like the amazing old pro he is. Merle Haggard is THE perfect country artist, IMO.

[@MAGAMANPATRIOT]

Merle Haggard is one of our "Great American Poets" I shed tears when he passed.

[@theelvisguru9490]

Water, wind, or over?

[@sartainja]

Amen.

[@elsieadams707]

It sosad

[@anthonygermano9363]

Well there you have folks. The Man, The Myth, The Legend. This was just too cool.

[@tommesing4281]

Legendary voice...! So much respect coming from Marty to Merle. And Marty does a great job on backup. Not trying to overshadow the legend - just letting him sing. What a voice....! I've never heard nothing like it. There are a lot of great singers, but Merle has to be in the top 5 of anyone's list. He's sorely missed.

[@deborahmagana5039]

I grew up with this old song. Sing it boys.

[@johnnyx9892]

Merle was as fine of a poet/story teller that ever existed. Pure Americana.

[@randymiller3949]

All of the 70s classic country music brings back so many great memories of me & my dad in the 70s. I was just a boy & me & my dad would go riding around on old COUNTRY back roads in Houston Co Alabama...1972 Chevy C-10 P/U...L.W.B...3spd on the column...no a/c...both windows rolled down...no p/s...8-track tape deck playing Waylon, Cash, Paycheck, Gene Watson, Tom T Hall, Gary Stewart, Loretta Lynn, Conway Twitty, Porter Wagoner, Ernest Tubb, Marty Robbins, Ronnie Milsap, Don Williams, George Jones, Tammy Wynette, Glen Campbell, Tanya Tucker, Bobby Bare, David Allan Coe, John Conlee, Charlie Daniels, Charlie Rich, Charley Pride, Lynn Anderson, Hoyt Axton, Buck Owens, Johnny Horton, Boxcar Willie, Faron Young, & I could go on & on about the great music I heard then & dearly love now!!! I can still remember my dad saying "country music just don't get any better than this!!!" My dad was right...MY DAD WAS RIGHT ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS...SURE WISH I'D LISTENED TO HIM MORE WHEN I WAS YOUNGER!!! AND I SURE DO MISS HIM...A LOT MORE NOW!!! JUST GREAT MEMORIES!!!

[@karenbritt8888]

Love Merle Haggard and Marty ❤

[@dcjennings57]

R I P Merle Haggard your the Best Country singer Ever!!!!!!

[@cliffwheeler7357]

Pure class from five incredibly talented musicians. So glad to see Marty giving Clarence White's B bender telecaster plenty of work. It would have been tragic if it had ended up in a museum.

[@smokepeddler]

100%

[@robbygaume600]

I’ll think about you when I see Marty, Harry, Kenny, and Chris at the Florida Theater in Jacksonville tonight. Cheers

[@Kerpieanne]

Too true Cliff.

[@HardRockMiner]

If you can make 1% of the impact that Merle did then you've had a damn good life.

[@jamessikes3288]

Absolutely magnificent, Merle should have had Marty with him on the road.

[@irenelienhart584]

Nobody picks a guitar like Marty, I could listen to him all day everyday

[@Illinois-Wildlife-Encounters]

the amazing hag and Marty Stuart are two of the most legendary player, singer performers ever to walk the face of this gorgeous Earth...love it..

[@johnjackson8401]

I always wondered what it would sound like having the late Clarence White play lead guitar for Merle. This is the closest it could get and is absolutely great!👍👍

[@mariececilelassere]

[@quinnmccully4689]

Love it! Haggard still has it, and Marty is keeping real country music alive.

[@123Goldhunter11]

Merle is the working man's poet. I have a special reverence for him as at 73, I'm still installing septic systems in the country. After all - I have to support all those people on Welfare voting for Let's Go Brandon. Man can Marty pick. RIP Merle

[@ThereIsNoLord]

What a piece of shit you are, so you're in the right business.

[@domeatsrats]

you almost get it

[@unseenpresence]

73 and still working in Septic. You are a real American hero. I'm 45 and my dad had me out at the job site when I was 2. I don't really feel comfortable for any extended period of idleness. This song says. It all.

[@brewsky38c]

Killer Country right there! From two legends 🤩🍺

[@rockymountainrose8189]

[@schlippery1]

[@anderskandersson4613]

These old legends still beat the modern youngsters 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@123Goldhunter11]

He wrote from the heart. Now it's corporate music. Write something real and the ban it.

[@paulbillingham6769]

The man walked his talk, don't know how old he was here, but he was still working and so are a lot of others thanks to his legacy.

[@jadeharris7961]

I'm 55 and still singing those working man blues

[@HughMorristheJoker]

[@magprob]

Marty is one hell of a picker. GREAT! Thanks.

[@boatbuilder1954]

Saw Marty and his band last night GREAT SHOW!

[@JudoChamp]

He is awesome, but this is definitely not one of his "wow" moments.

[@susanbezio1529]

Vince Gill is the best. Marty is no slouch he can play anything with strings.

[@theelvisguru9490]

@Jameson Serono I think Marty is as good a picker as James Burton

[@Mike-sv7bh]

Glen Campbell wrote the book on pickin.

[@paulwitt1985]

The BEST! RIP Workin’ MAN! 😎🇺🇸

[@91507882]

La verdad es la primera vez que escucho esta música y no entiendo nada pero me gusta mucho el ritmo y las sensaciones que corren por las fibras de mi cuerpo

[@Eastman697]

Marty with Clarence White's Tele. Just doesn't get any better.

[@cesarsalais8168]

Amazing Mr. STEWART

[@mosrite60]

Merle looked quite happy with Marty's break. In fact, yeah great stuff. This is something that only tele Gods James Burton or Redd Volkaert can pull off, the right way. mos60

[@GBPLVR]

Marty is a great Tele picker! Merle was the best Country voice ever! Real Country!

[@JudoChamp]

@@GBPLVR I think the best country voices ever are women. Dolly, Loretta, Faith Hill, Gretchen Wilson, Leann Rhimes...ya, women, no doubt....

[@reeceblinman7469]

Skinny P-funk and Patsy Cline

[@fastfred6074]

Amazing voice.

[@garywillis5748]
