@@dillonthompson5776 No one is saying George is Merle. They are saying George Sounds like Merle Haggard. Yes so many of us call George the king. He is basically the only True country music singer who has been able to survive the horrible so called rap-country kids now listen to. George’s fans, including the young ones, continue to buy his albums and go to his concerts. George has not even once sung the horrible so called country music. George has remained true to True country music and his fans.
Merle paid tributes to his heros during his life and now people he inspired are doing the same. Thank you George your are a good man and a great singer
You got that right. If you watch closely, he is playing the guitar, just for harmony though. He wants to be sure his band is heard over him, which is something Waylon even would do.
George you give me goosebumps you're the only one I've heard that can sing like Merle Haggard thank you for that beautiful voice you've done a wonderful job with Merle songs
My son would've been 21 when he's daddy passed his sister's were still babies but I tried to raise them the right way ...my SON IS THE CENTER OF MY HEART ❤️ HES NOW 29
He's my friend in heart ❤️ he knows a happy heart and a broken one too ..but he's always gonna be a Great friend ❤️ in my heart & soul I love this man as a person ❤️
George music is truly the language of the soul and heart. this musical genre is real music that touches the spirit in the real sense of the world 🌍 You're a real fan
You are the King of Country music I love it so much GEORGE God Bless you ❤️ 💖 ♥️ 💗 💕 🙏 ❤️ 💖 ♥️ 💗 💕 🙏 ❤️ 💖 ♥️ 💗 💕 🙏 ❤️ 💖 ♥️ 💗 💕 🙏 ❤️ 💖 ♥️ 💗 💕 🙏 ❤️ 💖 ♥️ 💗
George music is real and truly puts your emotions in touch with the music. he's one of a kind irreplaceable. thanks for your great contribution to country music, You're a real fan
Your family are in part of honoring haggard by giving you that awsome piece of history and ur voice only brings that material being to life ..ur amazing George 👏
He is the best in his songwriting and singing every since I heard his first he’s the one I want to here is guitar is so good right along with his band the best
He's a really great singer, I love his voice and melodies his lyrics are always on point, he will forever be missed, how long have you been George fan?
you better believe he's Texas Proud look what he did for us during Hurricane Harvey raised 40 million dollars for Texas relief who else could do that man is a very proud Texan he mentions it all the time
Thank you George for paying tribute to the best singer songwriter that country music has ever seen. I know you were a huge hag fan and it shows when you perform. You learned well and are now left to carry on and take over as the king of country
Merle should have had close to 60 #1 hits....George is good and he deserves what he got, but writing, singing and arranging the music as Merle did is exceptional. Radio didn't play Merle's songs in 80s and 90s and he had some great albums. Hell, his record companies didn't even release some of them! I love both of these guys....two of the best ever!
I think George covered Merle songs back in the 70s. They met while George was stationed in Hawaii in the Army playing in a band. George was stationed at Schofield Barracks and playing at the NCO club, when in between shows he got to meet Merle.
If only George could come to Australia. George dosent realise how much of a hit he is here in Australia. To the king of country Mr George strait, the one and only. He is in a league of hes own and no one could come close.
Brendan, I can truly understand that he is a mega hit over there. I am from South Texas, just 100 miles from where George was raised and I know that Australians are just like us Texans.... if I were to ever travel abroad it would be to Australia. We love the Aussies here in Texas!!!
My grandfather was a worken man ( COAL MINNER PIKESVILLE KENTUCKY).9 KIDS AND LUCILLE WAS HIS WIFE ..MY GRANDFATHER WAS A MEMBER AND VOCALIST FOR THE KENTUCKY RAMBLERS ❤
Oh I love this song from Merle haggard he was really fantastic in person at the Inglewood forum 1998, when I first Alabama was coming to Los Angeles, California, I love the way he sang all his great songs in person, I will never forget about that awesome country music concert
Jason Smith Rick McCrae probably. One of my guitar heroes for his professionalism and loyalty to George. He is also a great guitar player regardless of genre.
He asked me to dance once in early 80's, he wasn't quite the star, but was on the horizon...I had no clue who he was, the reason I said "no" to his request is because he was 4 inches shorter than me(i'm over 6 foot tall).... he was very polite and tipped his hat to me. Several girls came running over to me and said I was crazy for saying no! LOL
That is really nice guitar 🎸 and I really really love ❤️ this song to me and my dad always singing all of his songs and my dad was listening to his sing before he pass away about 16 years ago it Will be about 17 years next month August 25th and we also singing this song to ❤️ ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ur awesome my dear 😘 ❤ you make me smile ...sending love and angels to look over ❤ ur precious family..I love you 😍 your my favorite ❤ always will be .
@George Strait yes, my husband and I were in Little Rock Arkansas for your concert March 18, 2022! Hope to catch you in Texas sometime! You need to do a concert when the blue bonnets and Indian paint brushes are out! Nothing like that sight!!
I did a tribute to George Strait and I did The Cowboy Rides Away and I felt the same way when I saw him at the Scottrade center in 2012 and when he did it at his final show during His final tour and of the same name The Cowboy Rides Away Tour
Yes, George, you’re the best. What can I say and I don’t have no more to say because you are the best love always.
Great job, George! I’m not surprised that you can sing this
He can sing anything and make it sound good! Merle Haggard was a wonderful singer, too. Rest in Peace, Merle!
He just killed it!!!!! Merle would have been so proud. I smiled from ear-to-ear listening to him perform these two songs. ❤ Bless you George Strait.
What is amazing is that he can sing his own songs, he can sing Cash, he can sing Haggard and he nails is every time. Such a talented man.
Yeah be he is no Merle. Merle Haggard the real Country King
Good job singing haggard
whatever
That’s one of several reasons why he’s the King of country music

Can't beat King George and the Hag. Great tribute to Merle Haggard. R.I.P. Hag
You got that right. If you watch closely, he is playing the guitar, just for harmony though. He wants to be sure his band is heard over him, which is something Waylon even would do.
George Strait is such a handsome man!
I loved Merle all of my life, George doing a wonderful job!
Damn--close your eyes and you can almost hear Haggard in his voice.
What a class act. Thank you George. You get it. Love me some Merle.
Wow He Ain't Merle But He's GOOD. MISS& LOVE
Mr Merle Haggard.
George should record an album of classic country tunes.
The greatest of all time!
King George did an enormous job singing ~Haggard's~ song to the [T's]. What a beautiful tribute to a man RIP HAG.
He can take any ones song and win an award with it
George you give me goosebumps you're the only one I've heard that can sing like Merle Haggard thank you for that beautiful voice you've done a wonderful job with Merle songs
Check out Joe Nichols…he did ‘Merle Mondays’ during the shutdown in 2020. His father was a huge Haggard fan. George looks to be trying a bit too hard.
George can sing anything and make it sound fantastic!
I knew that this man God chose for reason is to man all that beautiful music and to make all his flock happy
Hello 👋 I totally agree with you 💯
I love you George ❤
My son would've been 21 when he's daddy passed his sister's were still babies but I tried to raise them the right way ...my SON IS THE CENTER OF MY HEART ❤️ HES NOW 29

The Hag would be proud. Thanks for keeping his music alive.
It’s crazy to think that someone like King George, who is a hero to so many, has heroes of his own. I think that gets forgotten. RIP Merle!
King of Country. No one has topped him since. No one ever will.
you better believe he's Texas Proud look what he did for us during Hurricane Harvey raised 40 million dollars for Texas relief who else could do that man is a very proud Texan he mentions it all the time

He needs to play in Mississippi.
I was at this concert with floor sitting. Man he was hot as ever. I am his biggest fan 28 concerts in total!!
The older he gets the hotter he gets!
@@suewalsh1883 Sue Walsh: I agree about his hotness. That's my name for him--His Hotness! I sure am jealous of you, but glad for your opportunities!
Awsome music 🎶 keep his music alive George
George Strait you keep Country music A Live! 🇺🇸❤💛🤠

No matter who s song you sing George you are always the best king
No matter whos song you sing your still great love them all
Seeing George Strait with a Fender Telecaster is a good look
Lee Darin Jr but it is strange because all I've ever seen him with is an acoustic
Not sure if it’s even plugged in. Someone’s off to the side rippin lol
Jason Smith Rick McCrae probably. One of my guitar heroes for his professionalism and loyalty to George. He is also a great guitar player regardless of genre.
What an amazing rendition. I love that he just sang the song the way we all know it...not trying to make it his own. You go George!
That was really nice of him to do that in Merl’s memory! See how powerful a legacy is!!!
Sweet. Great job george. Merle is smiling down on you. Ty george .
Been listening to George Strait since early 80’s.....and everyone in between......awesome........Cowboys for life....! 👍🤠
He asked me to dance once in early 80's, he wasn't quite the star, but was on the horizon...I had no clue who he was, the reason I said "no" to his request is because he was 4 inches shorter than me(i'm over 6 foot tall).... he was very polite and tipped his hat to me. Several girls came running over to me and said I was crazy for saying no! LOL
All I can say is awesome 👍
