Before Rascal Flatts came along sounding like pigs squealing for lunch, or Garth Brooks jumping around like he had a snake up his ass or country came to sound like bad Rock and Roll there was actually real country music and Merle Haggard sang it....he will always be one of the greatest singers in country music!
hey gang here I am listening to this terrific song one more time tonight. One thing for sure Freddie Powers is always to Merle's left on the stage, him and Merly go back many years and so did Tommy Collins. I have listened to his style of singing from the start. He is one of a kind from the streets of Bakersfiled. Keep it up. jbk
As usual the finest lyrics, rythmn, vocals, band and delivery and oh guitar pickin from the Bakerfield's best Merle Haggard, he spent 18 months with me on Okinawa during the middle 60's. He just keep coming up with more great songs and true life stories in his singings. Take care Hag, God Bless you and your family.
It's my opinion that Merle Haggard is the greatest country singer/songwriter country music has ever known. I'm not taking away from Willie, Waylon, Cash, Kristofferson, or any of those one of a kind artists who are all gifted writers and performers. Country music has had Hank Sr., Jimmy Rodgers, Lefty F., Bob Wills, on and on. But Merle has written songs and performed through 5 decades. His name, style, sound, and presence all mold into 100 percent country. A true artist second to noone. JMO
