Thanks Roger for this request of a country music icon. This song was written by Merle and released in '77. This was his first release on MCA records after switching from Capital records, which he had been with since 1965. Thanks for the reaction
A good song. Released in 1977. I have requested a song a couple times, I know you are busy but I want it for a friend of mine. He lost his wife 3 years ago to cancer and he really likes this song. She was my best friend for 48 years. It is called. I can't write that by Jeff Bates. I live on a limited income or I would pay you for this. Anyway thank you Don I always like your reactions .

It wasn't one of his biggest hits, but it was a popular song in the mid-70s - I think that's when it was released - when Merle was expanding the Bakersfield Sound from its simpler sound. I'll always remember 'Ramblin' Fever' as the song my mother first taught me how to sing harmony to.
Definitely from the late 70s, I believe on the RCA label. His earlier stuff was on Capitol Records and regularly had Bonnie Owens on partial harmony. You can also tell that era by hearing the echo chambers they recorded with at Capitol. If you have a way to go from the left to right channel, you’ll hear only the chambers or everything but the chambers, and Merle, maybe his guitar. ‘Hungry Eyes’ comes to mind when I think of those chambers.
Today is the day this appeared in my feed, unprompted!!! Haunting train song from Merle and Roger Miller. Some say it was on the original Big City album, some say it's fake... ruclips.net/video/j8ha94TlLCs/видео.htmlsi=nLARh-NUzYfGcteU

Thanks, Roger and Don. One of my favorites from Merle.

For a real treat, listen to Merle"s version of Precious Memories
Good one by Merle thanks Don

Love Merle's songs❤
I like this one a lot. It has everything a good country song should have. And Merle plays the opening solo before he sings. Merle in his prime…
great song

Don, Ramblin’ Fever was from the late 70’s
Great country legend, second to none as a songwriter, second only to George Jones for vocal prowess.
A tie between them vocally I’d say
@@Ryan-gt4vvNaa, c'mon man....George had a myriad of phrasing, he hardly sang a song the same way twice.
Fun Fact: The Hag smoked a lot of weed.
This song is from 1977.
Would like to hear George Strait cover this song.
