Misery and Gin - Merle Haggard

[shanny9574]

You're tryin to walk in VERY BIG SHOES MY FRIEND. 

[shanny9574]

Not too bad. I like it

[910benji]

Probably the best cover of this song I've heard dude, keep it up. You got any music you've written?

[TheChmckin]

check out d. striker on u tube

[ibgoodgirl]

I think this is the best cover of Misery and Gin, I've come across. Yea, you sound a little like Merle, but more importantly, you make the song believable. Great take!

[EddieErwinEngines48]

Some people make it big singing other peoples hits...... I mean emmy lou harris made a career out of it LOL

[hotlinklarry]

Criticizing someone for sounding like Haggard on a Haggard karaoke song, now that's funny!

[robfergusonjr]

F ... A ... I ... L ...

[mhess777]

I know it was over a year ago but I felt compelled to comment anyways. I kind of got tickled with the person who commented on you imitating "Merle's sound". What part of "Karaoke Style Cover" slipped through the cracks of their pea brain?! And yes, you have the right to do whatever you wish. I don't completely understand where people begin to think their opinions really matter,everyone has something negative to say. Personally I think it wasn't bad. U have the right 2 do whatever u want to do.

[ToadMitch]

Great job

You know Merle started out copying his own heros : Lefty Bob Wills Wynn Stewart Jimmy Rogers etc .

Don't worry about the knockers at least you are having a red hot go .

BTW this is about my fav. Merle song .

[00fatmat00]

i like it sounds sincere

[northernboy68]

Hey,if I heard you on the radio you'd fit in with ol Merle , good job :)

[EddieErwinEngines48]

Hey Hoss, Don't let all these folks who are ignorant of county music bother you. Remeber this Haggard Started out Impersonating Lefty Frizzell in my hometown of Bakersfield, Ca. And i'm sure there was some drunk telling him " Don't quit your day job" LOL

[jehovahuponyou]

FUCK YOU ALL - I'M GONNA CLICK OUT AND WATCH A REAL MERLE VIDEO!

[ghostriderinms]

Like the old school Arizona hat then the Texas style. Maybe a taco would be good also. Recording really shallow and tinny. Try again!

[VickersJ94]

Hey man, No body can do it like Merle. But the world has already had a Merle Haggard. Let's have you now. More power to you for having the guts to post it. You did a good job. Keep it up, first cut's always the worst trust me. It get's easier in time. I'm 16 and I've been at this music game for 7 years, it takes time, but you'll get it. Good luck and God bless buddy.

[madpuppy1000]

Fisher-Price recording equipment?

[m4m249saw420]

dude u did very great job so screw the haters

[herbnkz]

f----'n great

[timothydhoke]

Don't let the haters get ya man, not a bad job with the karaoke cover of Merle. However I do have to say that the video would have had an extra touch of class had you been able to shoot it in a bar somewhere instead of your kitchen. The negative effect at the end seemed misplaced as well but all in all good stuff.

[xhitmanx41]

Good Video! Long live REAL COUNTRY!

[sgrocker99]

good job everyone that says this is bad I think it's just what you are recording with but great job with the vocals 5*s

[HE88LO]

Hey man this is a great song and you have a very damn good voice. I think you could turn pro.

[bobbysandslives]

there is only one Merle my friend and you arent him

[KeepCountryReal]

Dear God man, you could have told yourself "naw, I'll just move on to the next video," but then you reminded yourself "Oh yeah! I'm a complete asshole and should behave as such!" Great comment, fuck kids who enjoy traditional country, right? How dare they attempt to show an appreciation for great music! The nerve! Don't forget to punch an infant today and tell them to stop trying to talk because they don't know what the fuck they are doing. Those assholes!

[coleyman1]

Hey look young man, you got a good country voice. Try and find or write an original tune and get that a whirl. You didn't insult Merle, but I would like to hear you sing something and be your self. The video was good. Hang in there....

[hungerypooper]

@KeepCountryReal i dont think you did bad sounds good to me . keep having fun

[jeremy45856]

you dont sound bad ...fuck these guys on here  talkin shit have fun

[megadankk]

Dont quit your day job.

[KeepCountryReal]

Dude, the guy right below you said the same damn thing, 2 weeks before you did. What are you? A critic? You can't even come up with anything original. Don't quit YOUR day job.

[computersshot]

@KeepCountryReal way to go good job. and to the guys who told you to "Quit you day job" F Them

[coleyman1]

Easy Big Fellow!! Don't quit your day job.. There's already a Merle Haggard out there making a good living. Go back and develop a sound that is yours and not someone else's. You can sing, but you're trying too hard to sound like someone you're not. You are not Merle Haggard....

[KeepCountryReal]

Hard Old Man!! Stay retired! Excuse a kid for having the audacity to attempt to emulate a bit of Merle. I guess the kiddies these days should just forget about these old songs. You are kind of a douchebag.

[rustyBIGKITTY442]

WOW! I think you've got a future in traditional COUNTRY. Getcher butt down here to TEXAS, boy

[ramey58]

Nice job on this one.

[blujeanswm03]

I loved the video and the singing...!! I can see that you really do love the good old country music and your voice fits it perfectly..! Anyone that says differently is just jealous because they can't even carry one note much less post something !!

Thanks for allowing us to enjoy you...

[bigamusky]

not bad hate gin thou lol

[ramey58]

The song has gin in the lyrics but it could just as easily been whiskey or vodka if they had rhymed. The liquor is not germaine to the song.

[seco4]

opps ..I meant heard this, but still pissed about things.

[seco4]

Dude.. real corny! I don't know what it is that makes me want to punch you right in the suckhole when I head this.... Jeeze.

[gdawgrn97]

Awesome job! I'm loving your videos!

[gregry17]

[billpm6969]

good job...dont let the idiots bitching get you. I play and sing a little and you dont ever really know how hard it is til you try it yourself...and if you ever tired it yourself and still insult others...well I dont know what your problem would be but you aint got to listen to others and unless you are being constructive "keep your pie hole shut"

[thorneswift]

No one is forcing you to listen to anything Cindy, you must just like being angry.

[therandomherrro]

not a bad voice, its actually better than most country singers today, its just ur gonna get compared and criticized by people like cindy here, keep at it man, good job, just be careful with the haggard songs lol

[therandomherrro]

for real, i dont think merle woulda done it this way lol

[amsobernow]

no one ever said you weren't a girl but you sure as hell ain't no lady. Somehow I believe you do sound like Merle though. You should make some videos and post them.

[ryan17002000]

Whether you liked it personally or not, insulting other who did, or the young man who made it is about as childish and low as you can go. Keep your rude opinions to yourself!

[gunnyranger2]

Merle must of had some plastic surgery,he looks so young!

[lazydaysleeper]

I'm truly impressed with your interpretation of this timeless classic. Brilliant.

[annie92220]
