One of the most influential country artist in history. In my top 5 . Many copycats Merle Haggard,Keith Whitney,John Anderson,Gene Watson,Johnny Rodriguez,Randy Travis etc. Good singers but not the original. I listen to Lefty 3 to 4 days a week. I have to get my fix.
""Long black veil", is a timeless Classic
That's for sure!
My favorite song is & was LONG BLACK VEIL.
It's such a great song. David will go into more detail on the song in Part Two of my interview with him. Don't miss it!
Always late" and Saginaw Michigan" The hags hero, what can i say. Great singer!
Lefty was also very good to Merle. He was such a big mentor for so many.
@@ClassicCountryBackstories Very true 👍
OMGOMGOMG! Merle was invited on stage by Lefty when Merle was a teen???
AND THEN HE GOT *THEE* GUITAR???
What a fricking great story!
Isn't that an amazing story? I would be curious to know if Merle would have taken the same path had Lefty not given Merle that opportunity.
One thing’s for sure ~ that encounter sparked an unquenchable fire in Merle’s belly & soul.
What a legacy🔥
