I love this song! Its like my favorite song ever! You did a great job! Ive been to plenty of his concerts and this has to be the best cover of this song! Its a same that most ppl my age(15) havent ever heard of merle haggard.
hey man u got a very genuine voice. it's rare in this day and age that u see someone with a downhome voice like yours. The song choice was excellent. you can't go wrong with a classic. two thumbs up.
do yourself and the rest of the world a favor, get to Nashville. every time I pull up Merle you have a video and you nail it every time, singing and guitar. You are really good.
Hey Parklane390 is my bro, I'm usually not into country, you know metal-black metal all that stuff. But this is a great song and you are good at guitar man
Great job Allan. My band just learned this classic and I love your take on it. You've given me a few ideas to incorporate into our version. Love your open chord picking and the singing is very good as well. Really well done. Merle would be proud!
Remarkably well-executed. Gifted guitar work and good vocals. Put this boy in a Nudie suit and give him some Sun Records acoustics and you just might have yourself a Country Star! Great job.
I have heard a ton of people trying to sing this and I have to say you did the best. I don't even think Merle Haggard can sing it anymore. He sounds best when he is young and not singing it so slow and drawn out. Good guitar playing.
dude, kick ass!! the country fans will say "sacrilege" when I say that I'm more familiar with the Grateful Dead's interpretation of Merle's classic, but I HAVE listened to Merle's version and well, I'm still on the fence about which I like better! :) Your cover though... hands down, exceptional.
oh my god your really good, I'm learing the guitar so i can play johnny cash songs i sing and people think I soud like him but your totally amazing, when I get as good as you im going to post my videos.. can I request the song working man blues??
Outstanding. Very cool
