Merle Haggard - You Babe

A great song written by Whitey Schafer off a great album from the Hag titled, "Chill Factor"
This performance is from Hee Haw February 18, 1989.

It's so cool how they had great musicians on these old shows, the best artists & best music, every week. Now if they have any shows they're trash & lots of canned music. These horns are so beautiful- don't diminish the country sound.

Well said! I love a lot about this episode for sure. The horns absolutely add to the sound quality and still sound Haggard. I also enjoyed the camera angles on this performance. Lots of work went into that.

At his peak. He had the best band in country music. Strangers..

My wife and I saw merle twelve times in our life. The last time being the Sept 2015 just a few months before he died. We were never disappointed

Even until the end ole Hag made the rafters ring! Thanks for your comment sir.

A catchy song originally released by Lefty Frizzell back in 1972 as a single. Merle released it on his Chill Factor album in 1987.
