    Every songwriter should aspire to be able to write like Merle Haggard.
    He is the journalist among the lyricists: putting you directly into the scenery, every line as if taken from the answers in an interview about a specific situation in one's life.
    This is not even mentioning his incredible craftmanship as a musician; what a guitarist, what a band leader!

      @@loggerjohn01 Not correct. Willie had only the line "Looking for a place to fall apart" and he presented that to Merle and Merle's longtime friend and band member, Freddy Powers. And Merle and Freddy took that one and only line (and indeed the title of the song) and wrote the song. All three - Merle, Freddy, and Willie - are credited with writing it, but the overwhelming, vast majority of the song was written by Merle and Freddy.

    I enjoy the live concerts so much more than the albums. They are more expressive and each song seems to come alive again a little differently. His talent is in his phrasing, and the use of his voice as expression of the music. Nobody does it better, in my opinion. He left so much great music, a poet of our day. The Country Blues was his element. He got better and better with age.
