Did karaoke tonight..wanted to sing some Motorhead but they put this on..never heard this or any other Merle Haggard song before..but I rocked this shit and had a great time doing it!
@HaggardRebel man that was almost a year ago that i posted that, i was just saying that i was in, I don't see anything wrong with that in fact I'm proud that I served.
Merle's guitar solo is amazing, so simple and beautiful. Nothing like the blues with some country twang. Steve Vai and the rest of the speed pickers could sure take a lesson from Hag, it's not many notes you play it's how you play the damn note.
He says "Play it, Johnny" I just figured out that Johnny Gimble is playing (electric) mandolin on this song, and that's who he's talkin' to. (Look carefully and you'll see the mando..)
I misspelled Redd's name. It's Volkaert, and he has a nifty website where he teaches you a lick a day!!
I'll love Merle forever! It all started by me sneaking into my brothers' room & listening to his records while he was at work. Thanks for posting this!
Love this Tune

It started... I said..."Oh, just a blues" but Holy Moly, does Merle do it good!!
Sax! Lead guitar by Red Volkart???
What's with the glasses?
This was actually recorded at Billy Bob's, I think.
