I met Charlie several years ago...what a humble, engaging, down-to-earth guy...I'll cherish that moment forever. Godspeed, Charlie...RIP. Long live the CDB!
Merle Haggard was the first concert we saw as a married couple back in the late 80’s. We were privileged to see Charlie Daniels last year before he died. God bless America. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thank you Charlie Daniels for that great inspiring interview. Everything you said about the great Merle Haggard is so right and its wonderful to hear a star like you speaking about him.
Merle, you were my daddy's favorite. So many songs I remember singing with him when I was a little girl. Mama Tried, Silver Wings, Bottle Let Me Down....I could go on and on.......RIP. I will miss you.

Well, my heart is broken.. but i am so thankful to have had his influence over my life all these decades. I want to say what a wonderful family you all are. i can't tell you how heartwarming and inviting both the facebook page and the website have been for all of us. How he shared his family and touching times with us, and his wonderful sense of humor.. his poetic vision, his hopes and dreams.. he dove into the world heart first .. with such courage and vigor -- and that reckless free spirit of his. But the thing is, he loved people so much that we were able to be a part of his journey..he shared his adventures with us in a way nobody else ever has -- from a panoramic view common folks would otherwise never have had a glimpse of. I've had front row seats to this amazing Merle World all these decades. I can't help but feel him even closer now in some ways.. being part of his incredible life makes it possible myself, to live fully in every meaningful moment he would have captured and made masterpiece of..

listened to country all my life but Merle the way his voice sounded hit you right away the unique tone was magnetic the voice that held its own and deserved it's place at the top of the tree when putting his thoughts into song reflected life as people knew it shame modern country didn't have a rethink about what it's producing think in he's later life he started to enjoy his place in the world of family and friends and more content within himself my favourite singer rip merle
I had an opportunity to meet Merle Haggard. I didn't have an opportunity to attend any of his concerts. He was a great guy. May God keep Merle in his Eternal Loving Embrace. I can't wait to meet him again on the other side.
Helle!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe!!
Merle was one of a kind... Almost all of the new country artists put together don't have half the writing skills and talent that Merle had. RIP and Godspeed Merle. You will be missed by so many. God Bless you and your family.
Mr. Haggard definitely was the one, WHO started telling the record executives to kiss his ass, then about a few years later, willie and Waylon, the original outlaws, came along!!! God rest his soul!
What a great interview!! Thank you Charlie!! I agree with you , why cant we hear MORE of the great songs that, NEVER get played on the radio,,? YOU have them,, Merle had them, George had them,, Make a station that plays the UNsung songs of all you GREAT people! I will listen!! Again what a great interview this was with you,,
Charlie Daniels everything you said about Merle you took the words right out of my mind I just didn't know how to get them out of my mouth Thank you very much I must have seen him in concerts two dozen times and never left unhappy ! Thank you very much and I have already heard songs he recorded years ago and it never gets old ! Can you imagine what's going on in Heaven right this now ! Thanks Charlie .
For many like me this incredible man sang my life, cause you see I to lost my Daddy when I was 12 years old on Christmas day 2 days after my sister's birthday, those were special hard times for me and this made tears flow. I will get his new stuff soon, R I P my buddy Merle
what the hell? How did I not know of Merle Haggard's passing until ten days later right now? That's what I get for not listening country radio for awhile. Rest in Peace.
+Ato Cox Hey, who can blame you for not listening to country nowadays, hell, it's nothing like country should be, or what it was just a few years ago. When you hear something great like Merle, Buck, Faron, Johnny, or Marty, you ask yourself, "What the hell has happened to my kind of music?" Sadly, it'll never be as good, (hell, as tolerable) as it used to be. I think the only two left are Loretta Lynn, and Charlie Pride. My head is hanging low, I will miss them all.
+Mightymikespest Hosspeker, the last country music song I recall hearing was "Murder on Music Row" by George Strait and Alan Jackson. Don't listen to what's called country music these days. The only stations I'll listen to are the ones that play classic country.
So sad at the passing of one of the greatest country singers of all time Merle Haggard. Loved his voice and the heart felt songs he wrote and Sang. Touched the deepest part of a person 's heart and soul. There never will be another Merle. RIP you wonderful gentleman.
R. I. P. I was very fortunate to have seen Hag 4 times, and CDB twice. And I heard Charlie give his testimony twice too, once on the radio... and once from the stage. R. I. P. MERLE 🎻🎸 HAGGARD CHARLIE 🎻🎸 DANIELS
I live in southern Indiana. I was driving a truck when I heard the news. I wrote R.I.P. Merle in the road dust on my trailer and other drivers asked who Merle was. Truck Drivers! Sad new world.
Dearest Sir, I surely hope you are able to see this. I love the great sentiment you gave and I know full well and imagine you do too, this would be highly favored by Merle, wrote from the dust of the earth, left on a Workin' Mans' truck.... from dust to dust. I wish I was in your working route that day, came up behind you and gave Merle a few honks as in saying, 'God rest your beautiful soul, Merle'. I am going to share this here. My late husband, years before we met had a cluster of something that I will forever be envious of. You see he had many impromptu free concerts by Merle and friends. They both shared a common love, fishing! Can you imagine being on your boat, in a place of beauty, the lake, the tree-lined shore and taking in the star-lit night... then to hear the sounds coming from Merle's guitar, with his voice starting up in a song, from his boat? All of the singers and musicians on Merle's boat was part of a great night, in one giant Merle-Fest Jam Session! Many, many nights, my husband was privileged of these sessions that he was blessed to hear, as Merle sung across the waters of Lake Shasta. Thank you Merle, you came up through hard times, changed your path becoming the man you were and gave us yourself in your songs. What a legacy!
Charlie, Most respectfully, there are similarities in Merle and Buck that typify the Bakersfield sound. It's the Telecaster and flat pick with fingerstyle, along with sparse on stage combo type arrangements. I give Don Rich and Roy Nichols as much credit as anybody for that.
Charlie Daniels speaks very well about the legacy of Merle Haggard. In my view, Haggard is the best in country music for his combination of powerful, soulful voice, songwriting and styling of the music he performed. His canon--songs he wrote, co-wrote or brought to life when given a composition from someone else--exceeds anyone else's, though I'm sure there will be arguments in favor of a few other CW artists. He is the king of country and probably always will be.
Thank you Charlie Daniels. I have been saying for decades that there never was a "Bakersfield sound." Merle was Merle, and Buck was Buck. Both great, but both completely different.
I was back stage with Haggard in the 80’s at the turn of the Century in Denver Colorado. After the show I followed his Bus to the Hotel and we partied all night with the Band!
the inspirations he sparked on -- he made into such simplistic word- melody pictures, so we could all really get it. What pure expression of natures best treasures he unearthed... i'm just driftwood.. driftin like the winds that blow across the sky. i won't always be here with you.. i'm just driftwood driftin by. He saw amber waves of grain.. he danced the American waltz.. while "a horse made of iron that could outrun the wind rolled into the next century/ the tracks turned to roads -- the crude oil flowed through the veins of the great model T ". He was our Steinbeck.. "darkness overnight catches me cryin, a whistle soon will blow a lonesome sound, a spark of hope becomes a flame each time the train slows down, but that train never stops.. at our town" Godspeed Merle
I loved Merle Haggard and Charlie Daniels, If you havent heard the early Charlie Daniels music you should hear the early music of Charlie , I think it was his best music
Charlie was such a talent and a patriot,he loved the lord and wasent ashmed of it,so sorry hazel for your loss,but it was heavens gain,so if we all are deasent people and beleave like charlie did we will see him again,god bless you hazel and your son,charlie was my husbands hero and mine as well,rip charley daniels,good and faithful servant,we love and miss you,see you on the otjer side.

I was born in Bakersfield and Merle and Buck are big there. Merle's ancestors came from the Dust Bowl, like mine. His story of being in San Quentin and seeing Johnny Cash is interesting. He then commited to becoming a Country and Western singer when he gets out. He really became one of the greatest country artists.
Helle!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe!!
What are you now Charlie 79 or 80 regardless you look good like your really taking care of yourself. Keep it up cause we don't want to loose you too. Merle is a legion and live on forever in american music history as a changer because that's what he did.
+Ron Townsend I actually thought he was younger until I looked it up on Wiki. When you are like me, at age 41...these people don't seem as old as you think they are. My grampa is 86, but he's nothing like my great grandparents were at that same age. Healthcare improvements and people taking better care of themselves has really helped folks age more gracefully.
+StormLaker1975 I've been following Charlie for 40yrs and I'm 65yrs old and a real long haired country boy. Find the original version from the 70's and listen.
Charlie's music was great & so was the rest of him! He's with Jesus now, & has forgotten cares of this world & hateful comments that are meant as an insult. Those things don't mean anything when u're walking with the King of Kings on streets of pure gold in the golden sunshine of heaven! R i P Charlie!
Helle!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe!!
Rip Merle ,& Charlie ,seen in both at the San Joaquin county fair ! The Bakersfield sound to me is that edgy sounding honky Tonk ,heavy on the telecasters of Roy Nichols & Don Rich ,and Red Simpson ❤️👍
Merle and Willie Nelson did a song titled, "Miss'n Ol Johnny Cash". GREAT song! But now, we're miss'n Ol Johnny Cash, Ol Waylon, Ol Merel, and Ol Charlie! The worst part is that modern "Country Music" is BOOR-ING!!!
I rewrote his Okie From Muskogee a few days ago. Don't really know, why, I don't write songs. But a couple of lines came to me in my head. This is no disrespect to Merle, it has nothing to do with him...just something that came out. Remember that. We don't eat spaghetti with machetes We don't ever vote in Tennessee We don't teach our kids to join no rumble We start kicking' ass right off the tee. We can't hold our liquor or our women We can't seem to make you see our way We're just made of steam and smoke and fireflies We are just the dust of bygone days. And I'm proud to be the token barroom brawler Better than a wooden Indian Walkin' tall while passed out on the floorboards Mumblin' trash and goin' down again. Dreamin' big can't get you that Ferrari Poppin' pills ain't only for the rich Tellin' lies will get you close to nowhere And probly' get your ass shoved in a ditch. And it's loud bein' stuck here on the highway My wrinkled thumb is now the flag I wave Beggin' rides and gettin' awful sunburned Patches stopped the nickels that I saved. She had said , please don't ever leave me I heard her say leave don't stick around I thought her love would have been forever But forever's just a ship that's run aground. Hitchin' miles never got me closer The only nails I trimmed were in my boots Got my ticket stamped for Camargito Leavin' here's my only way to lose. And I'm proud to be the only bum in Reno Tourists take my picture for a song I'd smile but I'd scare the little children Last night all my numbers came up wrong. The smell of grease has never really left me Her perfume found another man instead Schemin' didn't get me no diploma, The only thing I pumped was full of lead. Cowboy songs don't suit up for the young ones Only for the dead and hard to hear Don't waste your time on spurs and dreams and dance halls This singer's life is best viewed from the rear.
The Bakersfield sound is real. They pretty much made electric country music famous and those electric guitar and steel pedal licks are all very similar. Listen to Wynn Stewart, Tommy Collins, Buck Owens and the buckaroos, Merle haggard and the strangers, Wanda Jackson and Fuzzy Owens they all have that similar live electric sound where Nashville was still acoustic and folkish.
Merle took a lot with him but thankfully he left a lot for true Country Music fans.
Know one can tell it better than Charlie Daniels. Thanks Charlie for always telling the truth.
Know one?
@@rstvmo do you not have enough common sense to know what he meant
Charlie was so humble he never acknowledged how great we all thought he was! CDB!
I met Charlie several years ago...what a humble, engaging, down-to-earth guy...I'll cherish that moment forever. Godspeed, Charlie...RIP. Long live the CDB!

Remember Charlie Daniels as a bigoted christian who revered a genocidal and homophobic mythical jewish god.
@@plainolamerican Charlie Daniels was a true American. He loved God and country. He revered the military.
@R L Shorty I have peace and a clear conscious ... fat boy.
Real country and real patriots too! Both of them: Merle and Charlie Daniels.
Patriotic scoundrels.

So, are you one of Merle's ex-wives....or Charlie's?

I wish I was in your working route that day, came up behind you and gave Merle a few honks as in saying, 'God rest your beautiful soul, Merle'.

Charlie, Most respectfully, there are similarities in Merle and Buck that typify the Bakersfield sound. It's the Telecaster and flat pick with fingerstyle, along with sparse on stage combo type arrangements. I give Don Rich and Roy Nichols as much credit as anybody for that.

Rip Merle ,& Charlie ,seen in both at the San Joaquin county fair ! The Bakersfield sound to me is that edgy sounding honky Tonk ,heavy on the telecasters of Roy Nichols & Don Rich ,and Red Simpson ❤️👍
Merle and Willie Nelson did a song titled, "Miss'n Ol Johnny Cash". GREAT song! But now, we're miss'n Ol Johnny Cash, Ol Waylon, Ol Merel, and Ol Charlie! The worst part is that modern "Country Music" is BOOR-ING!!!
I love Merle haggard.real peples hero.
I rewrote his Okie From Muskogee a few days ago. Don't really know, why, I don't write songs. But a couple of lines came to me in my head. This is no disrespect to Merle, it has nothing to do with him...just something that came out. Remember that.
We don't eat spaghetti with machetes
We don't ever vote in Tennessee
We don't teach our kids to join no rumble
We start kicking' ass right off the tee.
We can't hold our liquor or our women
We can't seem to make you see our way
We're just made of steam and smoke and fireflies
We are just the dust of bygone days.
And I'm proud to be the token barroom brawler
Better than a wooden Indian
Walkin' tall while passed out on the floorboards
Mumblin' trash and goin' down again.
Dreamin' big can't get you that Ferrari
Poppin' pills ain't only for the rich
Tellin' lies will get you close to nowhere
And probly' get your ass shoved in a ditch.
And it's loud bein' stuck here on the highway
My wrinkled thumb is now the flag I wave
Beggin' rides and gettin' awful sunburned
Patches stopped the nickels that I saved.
She had said , please don't ever leave me
I heard her say leave don't stick around
I thought her love would have been forever
But forever's just a ship that's run aground.
Hitchin' miles never got me closer
The only nails I trimmed were in my boots
Got my ticket stamped for Camargito
Leavin' here's my only way to lose.
And I'm proud to be the only bum in Reno
Tourists take my picture for a song
I'd smile but I'd scare the little children
Last night all my numbers came up wrong.
The smell of grease has never really left me
Her perfume found another man instead
Schemin' didn't get me no diploma,
The only thing I pumped was full of lead.
Cowboy songs don't suit up for the young ones
Only for the dead and hard to hear
Don't waste your time on spurs and dreams and dance halls
This singer's life is best viewed from the rear.
what will we do when all the legends are gone? they aint making them no more.
he all made you part of the story
The Bakersfield sound is real. They pretty much made electric country music famous and those electric guitar and steel pedal licks are all very similar. Listen to Wynn Stewart, Tommy Collins, Buck Owens and the buckaroos, Merle haggard and the strangers, Wanda Jackson and Fuzzy Owens they all have that similar live electric sound where Nashville was still acoustic and folkish.
NICE HAT !!! CHARLIE :-) :-)
