"Mama Tried" 💚🤙🏼
Great song! The Grateful did a great cover of that song.
Amazing song!
That's my favorite song from him
One of my favorite songs ever
Yes! I hope he does that.
I am an old white woman and I relate to you…..We are Human.
Don’t apologize for “not Hating” ….We need young men like you.
Bruh he is the truth and the REAL OUTLAW when all the others just sang about it. He lived it
For real...I'm an Okie from Beaver, OKLAHOMA....poor and open minded. If I never heard Merle, I might be inside the prison now...he and Mom opened the eyes.
We call him “The Hag”. Legend, OG, A Master Songwriter, Vocalist and Guitarist. The Hag was an Artist for the common man, the blue collar workers. He sang about what he wanted/was important and if the fay cats didn’t like it, he didn’t give a sh!t. Merle Haggard is a very deep rabbit hole you must discover. And watching him perform live is an experience.
OMG This is a man straight, not Straight out of Compton poser world, but straight out of PRISON. Not county jail but San Quentin. He wrote all his many many top songs!! He is my favorite in the whole world. So there is that.
He was in the audience when Jonny Cash played San Quentin
Merle and Waylon are my favorites. Don’t know how to describe them but both have very unique singing voices.
💙💙💙💙💙🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Ditto!
Merle Haggard is the Gold Standard for country music. I had the pleasure of seeing him live twice--he is sorely missed. His voice and songwriting are unequalled.
SO ENVIOUS!!!
I got to see him six months before he passed. At that same show, on a side stage, my wife and I stood 3’ from an up and comer named Chris Stapleton. Ironically, he blew up six months later.
Legend
hell ya if your running down my country your runnin down the fighting side of me
@@rayiskool444you swung and you missed. Nice try though.
My brother, you need to go down the Merle Haggard rabbit hole. He's right up there with Johnny Cash! My favorite Merle Haggard tune is "I take a lot of pride in what I am". His more popular songs "branded man", "sing me back home", "silver wings" are incredible too.
FYI: Merle Haggard was a prisoner in San Quentin when Johnny Cash played there, watching Johnny Cash perform changed Merle Haggard's life.
💙💙💙💙💙🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Merle far surpasses Johnny Cash. Far! No comparison.
Fightin' Side Of Me is one of my favs of his. Very much still relevant these days. Unfortunately, not many younger people feel that kind of pride anymore.
YOU SHOULD REACT TO “FIGHTING SIDE OF ME” 😊 🔥
I totally forgot about this gem!! Thanks for the reminder 🙂
right on great one to reveiw today no dought at all review it
I can understand some of the sentiments. Especially now when little in this country seems worth standing up for when everyone up top shits on it.
He was a real outlaw but changed when he GOT OUT OF PRISON, he had a troubled youth also. Thank you for being who you are............
Merle, even though he served time when he was younger, is probably one of the greatest Patriots the US has ever had. He also was blind to differences in Race, Color, or Creed. He shared a lot of the views that the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. had.
Rest in Peace, Mr. Haggard.
Grew up on the dirt roads drinking beer and listening to Merle. You should look up his life history. Definitely outlaw.
Facts a well known loved country singer
Same here man....merle and me got drunk many times in my 65 Chevelle SS on the dirt roads of NC....i had my girl, my thirty thirty and a 12 pack. i know it sounds boring but that was some of the best memories of my life
I'm 78. I'm a Navy Vet. I'm a proud American. That said, I liked the video. Can't say I'd heard it before but I probably had. I remember everything he was singing about. But,...... What I really liked was what you had to say. As one proud American to another, Thank you!
Thank you for your service
You are 100% Patriotic.!!! I served on active duty in the Navy for 22 years. I will always Love the Country and our Flag.!!
Here's a great Merle song..."I think I'll just stay here and drink"
ABSOLUTELY!! Best Two-Steppin song at all bars in Nashville.🎸
The Hagg died in 2016. This song was originally released in 1982. He spent 2.5 years in San Quentin for burglary & attempted escape. He was anything but 'clean cut'. LOL He did a song called 'Okie from Muskogee'. (Muskogee, Oklahoma) & its kind of sung in jest about hippies & drugs etc. He has a fun song with Willie Nelson called 'It's all going to pot'. Check the old boys out.
Great reaction! Merle came to national attention with the ant-hippie pro-Vietnam War anthem "Okie from Muskogee" in 1968. Over the years he realized that we had been lied to, and he moved more and more into the counter culture. The next Outlaw you need to discover may be the best of them all Waylon Jennings. He also has dozens of great songs. "Are you sure Hank done it this way?" might be a good place to start.
Merle love America like so many did. If we're to change the Country we're living in now the 1 THING WE HAVE TO DO IS REALIZE THAT WE'RE ALL FELLOW AMERICANS & BE PATRIOTIC AGAIN!! THIS IS OUR COUNTRY MY FELLOW AMERICANS, LET COME TOGETHER!!!!!!!
Grew up listening to the Hag. Probably my favorite artist of all time. Definitely top 3. Back in the 70's it seems like my mom never took her Merle Haggard 8-track tape out of the tape deck in the car. I had the whole thing memorized before I was in kindergarten. You need to check out a song called "Mama tried." Or "That's the way love goes." Both are excellent! 👍
The Hag is an "OG" in country music. "Sing me back home" is an amazing song. His catalog is deep
I grew up listening to Merle haggard because he was one of my dad's favorite singers
Hats off to you bro. You don't buy into the divisiveness of politics and I appreciate that. Merle was one of the greatest and you should check him out some more. Mama Tried, Drink Up and Be Somebody, Okie From Muskogee, Ramblin Fever, Pancho and Lefty (with Willie Nelson), you can't miss with Merle.
I want freedom, peace, safety, and a simple life where I don't see my countrymen as the enemy. I want this even more for my children. I think you do as well, because you're an American. I'm glad you reacted to this.
One of my favorite old school country artists, and Merle was one of the original outlaws.
I like the way you are open minded, and willing to move forward as we all should. So many of these performers that you saw that came out of the era we’re brave enough to stand for the truth. Many were inspired by Woody Guthrie, who wrote America the beautiful, and the song were taught in school, is only part of this song there was verses that have been deleted from most media if you will. If you look it up and listen to the rest of it there’s been wise people that have been there all along through our strife in a country and humanity.
Love your understanding of this , it is for everyone who loves there country. I loved your presentation. I’m an older gentleman I respect what you just put on what this world needs. We need to all come together. Yeah I’m an old white man from Texas but I’ve always been a good man for everyone. That’s the truth we’re all one God made us each to be his children, and for us all to love each other. Because he is coming back love your channel young man. Thank you.
I grew up listening to Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, and Don Williams. All of it is really good listening.
If you have not done Don Williams, he is really worth listening to.
this is one of the best songs I have ever heard .. I honor you for playing it
Mama tried is must along with Pancho and lefty..
Merle Haggard was doing time at San Quentin when he heard Johnny Cash live. He started to turn to music. He was doing hard time but started to write and play great music. Hes part of the " Outlaw Country" trend. He was offically pardoned by Ronald Reagan in 1972. One of Willie Nelsons best friends
Merle’s the best ,, I live in Las Vegas and have seen great performances but the guy who always got to me was Merle Haggard. He put poetry to music and he’s sorely missed. You’re going to have a great time ahead of you with this artist. Enjoy
Oh yes! Merle Haggard! He was always my favourite country singer. I love his songwriting. He really tells a story. Mama Tried; Im a Lonesome Fugative; Okie from Muskogee; Branded Man; Swinging Doors; If we Make it Through December; Uncle Len; Daddy Frank; silver Wings; The Bottle Let me Down; Wake up; Going Where the Lonely Go; Misery and Gin; The Farmer’s Daughter; Rainbow Stew; Billy Overcame his Size; Sing a Sad Song; The Fighting side of Me; ….to name only some.
i saw Merle Haggard live in concert close to the end of his career... he was getting up there in age, but man, what an experience. Greatest country singer of all time.
*salute to you and your father. I was raised in a family where members of my family fought in every war this country has had including the French Indian & British war. That tradition ended with me. I should have been in Desert Storm but 3 days before I was heading out I was in a hit and run and it took me a year to learn to walk again... Navy said no thanks. I too have lost friends over our freedoms. I do tend to get a bit triggered especially if I see someone burning our flag. However, all that junk aside I enjoyed this reaction. Merle kind of straddled the fence to outlaw country. He has a huge catalog of music I think I have over 20 albums of his and I know I don't have all of his work. Some of his music will get you dancing, some will make you sit and think. Love your reactions keep up the good work.
Your comment that you don't need to be represented to connect with the music hits home with me. I'm a mixed race (White, Puerto Rican) Rock guy who grew up in the 70's as a teenager and Country music in not my thing but like all music I can appreciate it for what it is and enjoy it. That's what makes music beautiful and why it crosses all boundaries and cultures. It's all good.
Black Pegasus I have never suggested a song to anyone ever but I truly believe this song would be perfect for you to listen to…. It’s preform by trace Adkins called Til the Last Shots Fired. Make sure you watch the live performance! If will get to those feels of yours no doubt because I know how much you love this country plus the fact your dad served!! Don’t let this one slip past you IT’S THAT GOOD!
Julie
Have you heard the song Empty Chair from Trace Adkins ?
Have you heard the song Empty Chair from Trace Adkins?
Trace does amazing songs.... my grandfather was in WWII and was in the Navy but would never talk about it... I would never attempt to imagine what he lived through!!
Empty Chair 🪑 is a great song!!
Thanks for being open about where you are coming from. Your openness and heart gives me hope there is still a chance that we might come together. This song came out in 1982. I believe the imagery in the video were pulled from Norman Rockwell. At his time he was considered an artist reflecting American culture. I'm going to mention some songs by the Hag, that I have not seen mentioned. "Rainbow Stew" because I think it pairs well with this song. Two of my favorite ballads by him "Leonard" and "Daddy Frank". Finally I'll suggest "Think I'll Just Stay Here and Drink" I believe you'll like the style of the song. As always thanks for a great and thoughtful reaction.
I like your openness and honesty when talking to us as Adults, one to another, without the baggage so many people try and burden us with. We are fellow Americans, me and you. As it should be. Stay strong and safe my brother.
Quick comment. I love the reaction. Please dive into Merle because he has one of the smoothest voices in music. Much love! 👊🏼
Better times are ahead, I honestly believe that.
Merle is the deepest kind of well you'll ever find.
Lastly, props to you for the shout-out to your wife. Mine is the greatest thing in my life. I need to tell her more often.
You found a shining gem over a deep rabbit hole with Merle.
I guarantee you'll vibe with his music.
Man you could hate country music and still love Merle. That buttery voice sneaks lyrics in that grab your heart.
If you like CDB you’d love Workin’ Mans Blues from Merle.
Because you're giving our genre a chance; many of us (myself included) are giving yours a shot.
At times I truly feel my ears are going to start bleeding.. but I try it on 😆
🎼🎼🎼🎼 ... this song was played in my home since I was the tiny kid. .. my Mom & Dad were in a Country Music band. Thank you very much Black Pegasus for playing this Merle Haggard song and appreciating some old school Country. Music has the great ability to effect all people , different ages , different backgrounds, different taste in music , different races ... and when a good song hits none of that matters. I have been singing along to this song for 40 + years and it is still relevant. Merle has many great songs and he has such a cool voice. .... try "MaMa Tried" .. or "If I Could Only Fly" .. Music is magic !!! 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🤠🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
You are so right...we all have to come together...and keep what's good and right in our society for the future generations.
God bless you brother. We gotta speak truth, listen and come together. We can disagree without trying to cancel each other. 🙏🏼
The Hag was as outlaw as they come. He served hard time. His song "Momma Tried" has a lot of truth about where he comes from.
Legend of country. " Mama Tried" is one of his best.❤
As very patriotic...try "Walking on the Fighting Side of Me" by Merle. You will enjoy it. 😊
You impress me so much. I respect your views so much and I think you expressed your thoughts really well. Thanks BP.
All the painted pics are Norman Rockwell works.
Had a small collection of dishes with Norman Rockwell art loved all of his works. Very distinctive
Welcome to the world of Merle..great first choice.. heck out Mama Tried, Sing Me Back Home, Oki From Muskogee to name a few..Merle was one of the GOATs
Merle was in the audience (inmate) 1959 and was inspired by Johny Cash's performance at San Quentin. So Johny with that visit not only inspired some to change their ways but at least one to become an icon in AMERICA'S MUSIC🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸.
GOD BLESS and Congratulations on the baby girl.
I'm really enjoying your reactions, especially to the genres of music you are exploring. I am an old Marine and I live in Montrose Colorado. It's cool you are in the Springs! Keep talking from the heart. That's where we all need to be talking from. (Instead of the lower end ;-) )
Just my opinion-Merle isn’t one of the goats- he is THE goat!!!
Ohhh I love Merle Haggard. He was soooo famous and fabulous. He has great songs.
I’m a 62 year old Christian woman. I connect with you brother!!!! Mad respect for uou
You seem like a good dude. Love you standing for the flag
You had me worried at first because I had never seen your show before… but, you quickly changed my mind and I am thankful for you being a patriot and getting outside your box and looking at this video…. Great reaction video.- thanks for doing it.
Merle Haggard is Outlaw country. He performed in little country corner joints in my home town of Richmond Va before there were big arenas for performances. He was a contemporary of Johnny Cash Johnny Cash in all his glory performed at prisons notably San Quentin while Merle Haggard was an inmate for robbery. He was married 5 times and couldn’t seem to get his personal life together but he was one of the great outlaw country singers and composers who was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.
You got the point! It’s about family, real freedom for everyone and a peaceful approach to life for everyone!
Best poetry from Merle. Excellent song writer. My husband and I miss him. Went to 3 of his concerts. Our family and ancestors have been in the military since the Civil war. The Veterans should always be appreciated. Amen on your patriotic words. Thanks for Merle.
Merle Haggard was a great mimic. As part of his act, he imitated, in a kind way, all his great Country contemporaries.
Merle, Willie, Kris, Hank I/II/III, Johnny, Dolly, Conway, they were all 'outlaw' in their day. Speaking truth to power.
The hag is one of outlaw countrys best. Amazing preformer.
Merle is both Country country and Outlaw Country, that's what makes him so great.
DUDE! Everything you said, everything you spoke came from your heart, and what you believe in! One of my most favorite songs. I'm actually speechless right now! THANK YOU!
TY, for the song. For real...I'm an Okie from Beaver, OKLAHOMA....poor and open minded. If I never heard Merle, I might be inside the prison now...he and Mom opened the eyes. TY again.
Thank you so much for being such a polite young man. Thank you for playing Merle. Silver wings will be played at my Irish Wake.
He wanted to get into it cause. Johnny Cash had played Folsom prison when he was in there. So he watched Johnny Cash. Find the bars and then when he got out. I don't straighten his life up so anyway. That's that's where he got his start. That's what turned him around and he was raised in a box car, a train box.
Love your reactions ♥️🙏♥️ Your parents raised you well!!!! They raised you to have a heart for people and most importantly for God 🙏 You eventually figured it out… the old saying about “if you’re not a liberal when you’re young you don’t have a heart and if you’re not a conservative when you’re older you don’t have a brain” 🤷🏼♀️ I know your Mom is looking down and is very proud of you ♥️ God bless you and your family 🙏♥️
I love this man's talents. He has so many great songs and did great interpretations of other singers. Some of my favorites are Silver Wings, If We Can Make It Through December, Okie from Muskogee....it goes on and on.
Good to hear your input! Merle was a true American! Thanks!
Check out " Okie from muskogee " , also the fighting side of me"
You have such a REAL voice man, I have a great time hearing your perspective. 😊
Merle’s catalog is awesome. I love Mama Tried, Silver Wings, If We Make it Through December, The Fighting Side of Me, and of course The Okie from Muskogee. There isn’t a bad one.
"Mama Tried " is another Excellent Hag song. My father was in the Navy; 3 BILs in Viet Nam - Marines, Air Force, and Army; Nephew did 2 TOD - Iraq and Afghanistan. 🎉🎉❤❤
Music back in the 50's, 60's, 70's 80's and 90's, brought our races together. Disco, the old love songs, music brought us all together. I loved those times. I really hate the current times. We're totally lost now. It changed during the Vietnam War. Really after Kennedy was killed.
Merle the pearl the hag, singer songwriter musician . What an amazing life story he lived and wrote.
Like most his songs were true life . Like in sanquintan prison and Johnny cash came there and sang, merle is one of the inmates. His life seemed to turn for the better after that day.He could write stories about life true life.
Another fact is president Ronald Reagan pardoned him. Sing me back home ' was a true Experience
I salute you, brother, for your love of country.
ABSOLUTE BEST Merle Haggard song, true poetry: The Runnin' Kind.
You must listen to Fightin’ Side of Me. Very patriotic. Great song by Merle Haggard. He’s an absolute legend.
Your not missing it. You nailed it. I just found your channel and love it. Keep it going please.
Merl Haggard is one of the best ever! So many songs to listen to. My go to when I'm drinking!!!
I grew up with my Dad singin Haggard tunes around the house all the time, he sounded just like him. Merle Haggard wrote over 70 #1 hits for himself and other artists, over 100 Top 10 hits...he could play the piano, fiddle, guitar, and saxophones, in fact he mastered them all...He died in April 2016, and when I told my Dad it was the second time I ever saw him tear up. Mind you, he was a USArmy Vietnam vet, he deployed twice where he went thru hell, and he was a bare knuckle fighter when he returned stateside, this man did never got emotional except for when his Dad died in 2002, and when Merle Haggard died...that's how important Merle is to many of us...I'm just sayin...🤘🏻🇺🇸
Johnny Cash and The Hag are my two favorite country singers. Thank you for including both artists in your reaction videos! ----- You were wondering about Merle Haggard's background and personality. Johnny called Merle "the guy people think I am." 😄
Listen to Merle's songs about Mama's Hungry Eyes,Today I Started Loving You Again,Branded Man,I Take A Lot of Pride Who I am.He was one of our greatest singer- songwriters ever.His life story is simply amazing.Great reaction.
Merle would smoke and drink with the best of them. You really need to know the history of the times to understand this music. Im 60 years old and grew up on this music. He had been in jail he'd had a hard life growing up. But at the time of the song, only hippies smoked pot. A lot of country music super stars drank and did drugs. He's friend Willie is a big pot smoker. I'm glad you enjoyed this.
Some of the best of Norman Rockwell Saturday Posts paintings and his depiction of America in the 60's
Merle Haggard one of the great country singers. What makes a great song, a song that can cross all boundaries and cultures and relate to everyone! This is a great song. Merle was in San Quentin Prison in 1958 where he saw Johnny Cash in concert. Just to clarify "Outlaw Country", it was titled that because they went against the main stream music studio ideals, busting out and doing their own things. Waylon was one of the first to do it, and many still give Waylon (Jennings) credit for paving the way for them. There is still Outlaw Country out there, you can find it in singers such as John Rich! How about doing a reaction to John Rich's song "THE MAN".
It's very unique to hear truth spoken from the heart, this transcends all the barriers we place between ourselves and makes us pause for a moment to make us think about how special each one of us is and the potential we have when we have the freedom to pursue it.
Merle was called "the poet of the common man" for a reason.
He had some great and well recognized hits, however, some of his lesser known songs are my favorites. You should check out "Irma Jackson", "Diana", "Shelley's Winter Love", "Uncle Lem", "Here in Frisco"...
Can you tell Merle is my favorite?Miss him every day.
Merle was definitely part of the "outlaw country" movement. He was literally an outlaw as a youth and was sentenced to life in prison at 21. He cleaned up his act as an inmate after seeing Johnny Cash live in prison and dedicated himself to becoming a singer. He eventually made it out on parole and became famous. Early in his career, he did sing a lot about traditional values and some pretty conservative stuff. "Okie from Muskogee" was his first big hit and is about being proud to be a square. But he always said that there was supposed to be a level of irony about it; he didn't exactly adhere to those values in his life. He has a lot of other songs that are about being an outlaw or take a rebellious or controversial stand on social issues.
This song made you a better person ( me too ) and you already were a good person. Great to see people grow !!!
I'm from Bakerdfield CA, the only Oklahoma town in California, and home of Buck, Merle and other Outlaws. They were "Real", as we now say.
The Norman Rockwell paintings, this era represents the values he is singing about.
Merle Haggard, known as the poet of the common man. As a prisoner in San Quentin, he was inspired to turn around his life by Johnny Cash's concert there. More you're sure to like:

His duet with Willie Poncho and Lefty another good one.
its the words and the way they make you feel
Love ❤️ it 🎉 When I was young my mother would play ▶️ Country Music 🎶 🎵 on Sundays. 🙏
Haggard is the man! I sing his song "Silver Wings" with my dad's band. When Haggard died it was like losing an uncle. Please check out his and Willie's song "Poncho and Lefty" also Haggard's song "Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde"
Merle is a goat!!❤🎶🎶 This was in Austin. This song told the truth. Look at what's happened.
Merle has bars that'll slip past you if you aren't looking for them. 🖤☻🖤
Hag is speaking from the world he knew, from the world he was raised in and what he's used to. He's telling the truth as he knew it. Artist can only speak of a place from where they know. Thats why not everyone can understand certain paintings, or poems etc. A single artist isn't supposed to to speak to everyone. NOT EVERYONE IS THE SAME! Thats what makes this country so great...everyone's diversity! And NOT make those differences anyone's business except the individual.
Thank you for bringing the unity forward in your message. I respect your recognition and appreciation of truth.
