Merle is one of the best singer songwriters of all time but we got a few good country singers in the new generation. Check out Sturgill Simpson, Colter Wall, Tyler Childers, cody jinks ✌🏻😎
I really love merle and hes one of the best but its always hard to say hes the best. What about willie, waylon, George Jones, David Allan Coe, Hank 1 2 3 & 4, marty Robbins, johnny cash and many many more. All are the best in their own way. Its just a matter of taste.
Merle learned to listen and observe conversations, confrontations and people`s reactions from all walks of life including the early morning walk by his cell. I miss him however I`m glad he`s not here to observe 400 million snowballs rolling towards hell. Hag, hope you know how much you`re missed and thank you for all of the music that you left us with. RIP
His boys Marty, Noel, Ben and Scotty are doing a mighty fine job filling their daddy's boots and there's no mistaken when Noel & the youngest, Ben start to singing, you're hearing the legend himself. Many of our pure country music artist have gone home, leaving us with their young ones trying to fill their shoes, but Merle's boys have done better than most answering George Jones "who's going to fill their shoes".
@@nbk9372 Hi, I certainly agree that Merle`s sons are fine young men that have become very good musicians and singers in their own right. Unfortunately, their Daddy had been places both mentally and physically that afforded him painful and shameful memories that came to him in verse and rhyme and that`s why Country Music as we know it is exactly like folks like me, ran our races, saw many faces but now I just remember the sunny slopes of long ago as I attempt to remain ahead of time`s shadow, God bless you and your family and friends.
@catch-2232 He was one of my Daddy's favorite guys yeah we just lost Daddy at age 93 but Mama told me that we almost lost him at 22 in CA when he heard about Hank, Buddy, Jim, Keith, Merle and very especially Ole Conway. We heard Hello Darlin for the first time in the car and he looked at me in the back and said that song will go to number one as he did the first time he heard Ray Price singing Kristofferson's For the good times in 1970 in Glen Burnie, MD they were number one for many weeks. He did it with Almost Persuaded, and There goes my everything too. Daddy knew a hit when he heard it
My wife and I were married December 30th 1972,still married, our wedding gift from my wife's uncle was tickets to The Mosque in Richmond, Virginia to experience Merle Haggard and Donna Fargo, LIVE , wonderful memories !!!!
Multi talented singer, songwriter, poet, producer, band leader, innovator, businessman/salesman, and he did it all with an indescribable ease and grace.
a voice that can’t be touched by anyone else. I have every song Merle ever sang and I play them every night when go to bed. He sings me to sleep . What a gift!
l agree with you, indeed Merle Haggard is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,he's one of my favorites artist, he songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days
He was simply the greatest all-around country music talent that ever lived. Singer, songwriter, musician, band leader, impressionist (if you've ever seen him perform impressions of other artists, he was spot on). It's a race for second place, because there was Merle, and then there is everyone else.
Yes it is but as I think about who was better I cannot think of anyone who outshines him. Probably my #2 pick of best would be Vince Gill, another great talent.
Merle Haggard had that special voice . He was a fantastic country singer . Love all his songs . His music will always live on . And he was a legend of his time ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Merle is the real country music. His songs have that incomparable texture and Lustre. The magical gist of every song he sings is beyond words. May his soul rest in peace.
Merle Haggard was one of a Kind There will never ever be another Merle Haggard very Talented Man the Best thing that ever happened to Country Music is Merle Haggard if you don't believe me just listen to his Music, Folks.
Merle carried me through heartbreak, love, holding my children in my arms dancing for musical rhythm and to sleep, loosing some love-ones, and just because I love his music. ❤😅
Yeah this is the definition of country music and my father loved Merle Haggard. I can remember my father walking around our house singing some of Merle’s songs We used to watch a show back in 1970’s that was called HeeHaw and Roy Clark,Buck Owens and all of the real country music singers were on this show The music they play these days is not country music It’s more like pop music and They don’t hold a candle to the real country music legends What a sad world we live in these days because real country music don’t exist anymore But as long as they play this music I will always listen to this music because it’s real music and it reminds me of my father especially Merle Haggard

@@tomjonas7384 we used to laugh like crazy because Merle could imitate and sound just like any one else in country music at that time and do a very good job Him and Marty Robins,George Jones,Hank Williams and all the ladies of country music We just didn’t know what we were blessed with back then Because the people these days don’t hold a candle to any of the original country music musicians From the 1950’s until the early 1980’s There want ever be anymore country music like that I’m 53 years young and I like all kinds of music but the older country and blues music is my favorite by far

I'm 66 and remember my brother came home for leave from navy 1968. He had brought with him "albums " of Meryl and various others. Growing up,went in the army at 17 listening to hard rock. Missed the "nam" while in basic training. Got out and got married and came upon my brother's albums one day. And played "Meryl " and the others, and it took me back to the first time I heard them and I listened to them everyday when MY children were coming home from school and too this day my children know his music. Although it is a very much different time. I can say that "Meryl and Jones, Tammy and the man in black lives on. It's not just the music. It's of a time when the world was changing and maybe NOT for the better. But I do believe that his and the others are, a history of good family values.
I only discovered Mr. Haggard about 3 years ago.😢 So glad there are so many recordings of his work. Thanks to all the folks who took the time to upload these treasures.
I discovered the Hag about 60 years ago,Anna. A cover group in the old Homestead Tavern in Port Chester NY sang his songs. Real good. I went looking for the real Merle. When I finally found him he stuck with me forever. I'm sure the same will happen to you Anna. Once this guy gets into the musical part of your brain you just can't shake him loose and that is really good. Not too many that can do that anymore...... I can tell you had a good 3 years. Just came in from the back porch with my big Gibson Guitar. Sang and played: 'Today I started loving you again.' Always finish the night with that tune.
@@caesarwarrick4735 You are right. I studied voice for about 4 years. I learned "art" songs and classical pieces, etc. Never listened to "hillbilly" music ... much to my loss! Of course Mr. Haggard's music is much better. I am so happy that we can listen to his wonderful lyrics and melodies any time. I am almost 90, so I have had a lot of time to enjoy a lot of different styles. God bless you!
If you just discovered Merle 3 years ago, then there has to be some more HEAVY HITTERS than you haven’t found yet… it was the golden era of country without a doubt
For years renowned scientists, specialists from all over the globe have been working collectively feverishly and voraciously on a conceptual fractional theory based on observations from a genius that objectively observed how people reacted and he understood, his music is loved all over the world, the haunting question he left us with Are the good times really over for good? Yeah, we all still love Merle.
The best there ever was. There will never be another Merle Haggard. If you don’t believe it listen to the junk today that is being played as country. Nothing but crossover. RIP Merle
Merl and his Country and Western giants have left a rich musical legacy..gone are those days not likely to return..these recordings needs to be preserved with great pride the world is not likely to this team of musical heroes again..
Merle was a real patriot, love this song. Americans were really lucky having the opportunity to see him on tv shows and his concerts. His fellow musicians rightly praised him and appreciate d him.
As a teenager he drew me like a magnet to the TV when I heard his voice! Such a good looking man! I swooned over him as we both grew a little older! My kind of man!
MERLE, was my ❤❤very favourite American Country music singer of all times, with Bonnie Owens Haggard. They were absolutely brilliant singing together, Merle had such a unique style voice that no one shall ever be able to compete against, He was phenomenal. I hope that he and Bonnie are RIP FOREVER.

I agree. I've been in love with Merle since I was 3 years old. My sister had the Branded Man album when it was first released and it was IT for me. "Don't Get Married" (my name's Julie) had me doubly hooked. I don't even know how many times I've seen him live, but he NEVER disappointed.
MERLE was my 1st choice in country music , his voice was magical to listen to. There shall never be another MERLE HAGGARD.GOD BLESS YOU MERLE. ALSO HIS WIFE THEN BONNIE HAGGARD RIP BOTH OF YOU. REGARDS ELIZABETH XXXX ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Nice to see Merle in his hey day ...I was hiking the Appalachain Trail w my brother in 1976 and we met and hiked some w a young guy named Boyd Rutherford from Knoxville Tennesee ..size 13 boot and gangly legs....he said we needed to hear Merle Haggard, so I am catching up on that advice a few years on 🙂... Thanks to RUclips 👏
One of the coldest evenings in Toledo Ohio I was given the honor of witnessing one of Musics GREATIST ARTIST. That would be Merle Haggard .He wrote and sang most of his own Music. It was simply breathtaking .I didn"t know it at the time but it was probably the best concert I have ever been to, Thank you Merle and to his band . I shall always remember his show .
I saw Merle at the Sports Arena in Toledo Ohio many years ago.I am now 83 and still love listening to his music.Im happy his 3 sons are carrying on his music.I believe Ben sounds more like him and plays the guitar sounding like his Dad.
Mearle Haggard "The Hag " one of, if not the best in country music. My favorite. Ive seen him at least 3 times live in concert at Jimmie Rogers Festival in the Temple Theatre. Such a great writer and singer.
I been listing to the Hag since I was about 14 years old and now I'm 72 I lived in Bakersfield many years and have been to the park where they have the Boxcar Home he was born in. I've seen him concert many times and seen him at Buck Owens Crystal Palace once, sad when he passed RIP Merle you are missed.
The six greatest in Country & Western history, in my opinion (in no particular order): Hank Williams Johnny Cash George Jones Willie Nelson Waylon Jennings Merle Haggard I give the nod to Merle. He is and will always be, the greatest. This is a great collection of various clips from his career. Great to see!
They didn't know it then but they were listening to legendary greatness ❤ Merle has climbed to the top of a mountain and he still sits there today. There will never be another like him 👏 👏 👏

@@EarDamageHardcore all this iconic Real Country music must live on! Twitty and Lynn are doing Conway and Loretta’s music keepin it alive!
Still trying to get used to the world without Merle
He isent6 onelong as ghegrate song still here
I saw Merle’s Sons on TV Singing I Loved seeing them
Love this country signers songs. Thanks
He was one handsome dude - those eyes, those kissable lips - wow - never mind what he sang, just looking at him, he would get my vote.
I agree. I've been in love with Merle since I was 3 years old. My sister had the Branded Man album when it was first released and it was IT for me. "Don't Get Married" (my name's Julie) had me doubly hooked. I don't even know how many times I've seen him live, but he NEVER disappointed.
I totally agree
Hey
He was my Man..
Took a lot of shit growing up for loving him so!
MERLE was my 1st choice in country music , his voice was magical to listen to. There shall never be another MERLE HAGGARD.GOD BLESS YOU MERLE. ALSO HIS WIFE THEN BONNIE HAGGARD RIP BOTH OF YOU. REGARDS ELIZABETH XXXX ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Nice to see Merle in his hey day ...I was hiking the Appalachain Trail w my brother in 1976 and we met and hiked some w a young guy named Boyd Rutherford from Knoxville Tennesee ..size 13 boot and gangly legs....he said we needed to hear Merle Haggard, so I am catching up on that advice a few years on 🙂...

Hello. how are you doing over there?
One of the coldest evenings in Toledo Ohio I was given the honor of witnessing one of Musics GREATIST ARTIST. That would be Merle Haggard .He wrote and sang most of his own Music. It was simply breathtaking .I didn"t know it at the time but it was probably the best concert I have ever been to, Thank you Merle and to his band . I shall always remember his show .
I saw Merle at the Sports Arena in Toledo Ohio many years ago.I am now 83 and still love listening to his music.Im happy his 3 sons are carrying on his music.I believe Ben sounds more like him and plays the guitar sounding like his Dad.
Saw Him at Norsk Hostfest and He was So-o Good - Loved his Sincerity !
Mearle Haggard "The Hag " one of, if not the best in country music. My favorite. Ive seen him at least 3 times live in concert at Jimmie Rogers Festival in the Temple Theatre. Such a great writer and singer.
Thanks for posting this great collection of Hag. ;)
MERLE... you still my favorites ever
I been listing to the Hag since I was about 14 years old and now I'm 72 I lived in Bakersfield many years and have been to the park where they have the Boxcar Home he was born in. I've seen him concert many times and seen him at Buck Owens Crystal Palace once, sad when he passed RIP Merle you are missed.
Thank God for one of the greatest Country Music s singers ever❤❤ he is truly missed😢😢
Excellent all around. The man playing lead guitar with the various responses throughout is fabulous.
The six greatest in Country & Western history, in my opinion (in no particular order):
Hank Williams
Johnny Cash
George Jones
Willie Nelson
Waylon Jennings
Merle Haggard
I give the nod to Merle. He is and will always be, the greatest. This is a great collection of various clips from his career. Great to see!
I have to agree THE HAG is #1 !
What a great tribute! Thx. I love Hank and Jimmy Rodgers but Haggard is #1 for me. Rip Papaw Larry
There will never be another country singer like Mer 3:52
When the heart was in the voice. That steel guitar - yes!! Nothing like those days.
Merle was so handsome n I learned young from my brother that came home from Vietnam to love Merle’s music ❤❤
They didn't know it then but they were listening to legendary greatness ❤ Merle has climbed to the top of a mountain and he still sits there today. There will never be another like him 👏 👏 👏
One of countries best ever.
Wow brings back memories.
Merle Haggard is a genius!!!!
And then,and then...comes Ben Haggard,just WOW !
