Love the way Ben sings this song!! He is a talent on his own. Yes, he is our dear Merl's son but he has enough talent of his own to make his own path. Merle gave him this wonderful opportunity to let the world hear him sing and play that guitar and now he can forge his own path. He is so talented that there is no way that country music fans aren't going to receive him with open arms! God bless you, Ben. I look forward to hearing you sing country for many, many years.
Love Noel Lee & Ben. All 5 Haggard's. I've been writing SONGS For Noel Lee & Ben. One for Scott that is really Good. Some of Them are Good. I'm a Nobody from Nowhere. No training. A 66 yr old Disabiled Nurse. But a Little Common Sense Goes a Long Ways. Would know how to get The Songs to Noel Lee, Ben and Scott. Don't even have them printed up off of My Phone. As much as I would like to meet The Boys. I would not want Them to meet ME With the Shape I'm in. But it's like WHAT IF ONE OF MY SONGS DID REALLY GOOD FOR EACH OF THEM. MANY BLESSINGS TO THE HAGGARD 5. ROCKING COUNTRY MUSIC. MR MERLE-- Noel Lee, Ben, Marty and Scott
Me too Sandra. So thankful he still supports the music we love. Not all the children of country stars embrace their parents music so we are blessed to have him.
These live videos are great. But an Album of your own songs is something we would all like. BTW I love your new song with Dolly. Hoping to see you in the movie.
Ben is a huge talent but can he make it just singing his father’s stuff? Hank Jr. proved how haunting that can be: “good thing I was born Gemini cause I’m living for more than one man.”
@@joycemcfee1829 I agree and I will listen to him because I loved Merle’s music so very much. And with “pop goes the country” being the prevailing trend today, keeping his father’s music alive is a worthwhile goal.
Thanks for the comment! Ben has been recording a few new things that aren’t original Merle tunes. I just posted today he has a song on Dolly Parton’s new CD that is being released March 4th of this year. He has told me he will release a CD of his own tunes in the future and has a few already written.
Hey Joel, the best way to keep up with them is to download the Bandsintown app on your smartphone. It allows you to track your favorite artists and will send you a notification when they announce a new show. Hope you can make it to a show!
@@fiddlinjazz I am not aware of the name unfortunately. Ben’s band is mostly made up of members of Merle’s band or current Nashville players. The band changes depending on which coast he is playing which is a real treat. They are amazing because Merle had the best touring band in the business. It is a very authentic country sound and they are just incredible.
nothing against it all ,ben cuts the cloth no problem, but Clint was the man for years even as merles main lead man but ya cut him out sound wise ,ya just don't disrespect that man ,just my take
Awesome!! Love me some Ben Haggard, don’t like Noel so much. Had some problems with him back in the day.. Like his cholo Nike Cortez shoes though.. He oughta just let Benny do his thing. My opinion of course..

Wow wow.
The greatest singer since Merle!!
This guy is killer! He can do his own thing or he can do his dad, he’s just damn good.
We sure agree with you here. Thanks for stopping by!

He is Singing Better as He is Learning. Love all 5 Haggards. Fan of Mr Merle Randall since a teenage 1968.

If I close my eyes I would think it was Merle!
Me too Sandra. So thankful he still supports the music we love. Not all the children of country stars embrace their parents music so we are blessed to have him.
The Hagg lives!
Show them how it's done young man.
This man is bigger than he knows!
That is spot on. He is very humble.
great Merle songs. LOVE THIS SOUND!
Thanks Doug! We love the Haggards for sure!
That's as good as it gets, guys
Ben has such great voice sounds like Merle so very much. Hope he will continue what he's doing he is very good. I love to hear him sing .
Ben Haggard is so great.................
wow, close your eyes and that is Merle :O 😮
Yes sir I do that often! Thanks for your comment.
Bens guitar solo part was crazy good! Love the jacket too!
Damn that's good
If Ben Haggard was a stock, I'd be investing heavily.
Lol you are so right!
@Carie Armstrong yup
sounds like the ol man!! love this!!
All I can say is this is groovy man. ❤️
Dam Ben dude don't stop!!!!!
Great musicians.
Very nice!
That was an iconic solo by Clint on Merles album. So very cool to hear him with Ben .. great guitarist himself
Great voice ❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

If you follow Ben on Instagram he has been in the studio and they have released a few short samples. No release date yet on the new album.
Merle didt die he still live😊in Ben Haga
Truth
👍👋

I think about that, too. People who still want to hear Merle will listen, plus those songs were so good. I wouldn't know this wasn't Merle.

@@Shakeyleg Great news. He is indeed a credit to his heritage.
How do you find info on Ben's touring schedule?

@@Shakeyleg Thank you! I would love that! Never got to go to one of merles shows sadly. Ben sounds so much like his dad it's crazy!
One more stupid question. Do yall know the name of his band?
@@fiddlinjazz agreed! I have been enjoying Ben live since he was 15 and every single show he is better than before.

He's way better than Marty. I like this guy.

You are so wrong we all love Noel and all the haggards
Sue You are So RIGHT. WE LOVE Noel Lee & Ben.

Huge kudos to Clint…..I mean, gotta be kinda weird right??😂
Ha! Yes for sure. Everyone was super cool about it though. Had some good laughs back in the green room.
Ok, that’s AWSOME! I’ve been a fan of his from the TNN poet of a common man video days. He is a guitar hero I’d like to meet someday.
