Jewel and Merle Haggard - Silver Wings

[loregunner]

Great song, Merle sings it with such passion !

[48snowbird]

On Silver Wings, flying so high ~ still with you if only in dreams

[Shabannie]

I enjoyed your video!

------Ellen

[ZOEYMine]

as we age our voices start to lose control of the throaty melody we once were able to produce.. ..cant usually sing like when younger.. but this is beautiful.. <3

[vmaninblackv]

I just saw Hag in Gatlinburg a few years back... there ain't nothing wrong with his voice. And he bounced all over the stage like a 20 year old.

[D1ckNuggets]

Couple pics of Jewels golden globes would make this a MUCH better video.....

[BigRobArnold]

Merle is great, but Conway was the greatest! This is a great song without Jewel.

[wildcowgirl77]

ohhhhh myyyyyy God!!!!!!!! ive loved this song for 30 years, but this is heartbreakingly beautiful!!!!!

[MrCumbea]

great great great !!!

[wideout3989]

Merle Haggard has one of the purest voices ever to be recorded. Coupled with Jewel this is one of the truly great duets of all time! Nearly perfect!

[MultiAlfred123456]

Spitze!!! Super

[matejoto]

Two of the world's most amazing singers EVER.

[11fraym19]

This song reminds me of my girl, may she rest in peace <3 Tanelle <3 your gone but never forgotten my dear cuz!!

[Diesel27000]

How about some pictures of Merle???

[countrymusicfan70]

What a beautiful duet from 2 of country music's greatest! This song as done by Merle and Jewel has always been one of my favorite cds .. I've played it hundreds of times. We need more of Jewel with Merle!

[rc6646]

First heard this song sung by a Japanese band - Charlie Nagatoni - when I was stationed on Okinawa in 1974. Beautiful song. Love it.

[onebaud]

If you want to see something that will make you laugh and cry, type in Jewel Karaoke in the search box. Hilarious spoof by Jewel in Karaoke bar.

[marsoo7]

beautiful duet the best i ever heard

[mikooltheguitarfool]

That guitar solo took me back home

[krmsr59]

Jewel couldn't carry a note in a 5 gallon bucket! trash!

[bigge0369]

Goose bumps

[CactassDupree]

did she ever do anythig with Willie??

[clewi1091]

@CactassDupree I think thats kind of personal....lol.

[misselli100]

Diese Stimmen...großartig, einmalig, zum niederknien! Echte Musik!

[shamammal]

Oh the possibilities with that first picture and Photoshop...

[GradyRivers]

I did this song 10000000 times, never as good as this. Jewel! man...  right on

[miehaga]

So beautiful together....

[sapper634]

[flamingstar56]

@sapper634

My Dad and I met him just a few months before my dad passed away he is amazing man I still have the concert passes My Real good friend Rose Vegas Waters was his manager at that time and got my Dad and I back stage passes after the concert we got to go to Merle's bus and Rose took my picture with Merle I do love to hear that man sing silver wings with Jewel.

[garfield1473]

@flamingstar56 wife has been to Mearl concert she has some close up pictures of him but never met him

[kbrown1969]

This is just beautiful!!!

[ceesie40]

Wow what vice she has, and Hag also. Very buttyfull

[flatpackmatt]

She's so damn HOT - x

[rufus99999]

I'll Drink to that ;-)

[seedroosterfilms]

It's very clear about Jewel to me... she's is so freaking hot for two reasons:

1. She's imperfectly perfect - more beautiful and sexy than a super model because she isn't a supermodel. (I like that her teeth are not fake perfect)

2. She just projects this subtle, sexy, feminine voice that makes men feel so soothed... You just want to have sex with her voice (and the rest of her too!)

[LaurennPlusApril]

lots of memorys

[mtgoff34]

Love it,  one of the best songs of all time

[stepshan]

They do sound great together and yes she is hot

[wallnutwhip]

Wonderful

[castawayelvis]

Ty Murray is a very lucky man indeed.

[heartfan82]

so beautiful...! thanks for posting @remase73, you made my night. This is way better than watching T.V. I should come here more often :)

[NorthLAPimpin]

great harmony between a legend and a great female singer..timeless

[deke441]

This song makes me cry when i drink.

[tspoonhunter]

@deke441 Then Don't Drink

[abanfour]

shes great..killer eyes and voice

[stabapric]

1:28 best part of this duet. 

[meehall121]

Makes Me Kinda Sad

All The Stars.....

[ecksploshun]

saying Jewel is "terrible" means you're an idiot.

[donnaaustin]

luv this

[lvanciel]

WOW my cousin still rocks merle haggard is really my distant cousin

[NicoleJimmyRocks22]

Aww :( , This Sonq remind Me , Ovv My Late Anutie , And Great Gramma :( , iiMissYu Cousins :(

[yvesami]

About Merle having 'lost it'--it's true his voice is only a shadow of what it was. But he still knows how to sing. And I'll take old beat-up Merle with not much voice left, over all the male singers on the current country Top 40 put together. He's the greatest.

[bigge0369]

@yvesami AMEN

[jackieo46]

she has  a unusual voice thats very moving. good duet!!

[ZoneFighter1]

She's horrible and he's lost it.

[d2pwow]

@ZoneFighter1 Naw! We must not be listening to the same song.

[patsycrowley]

a song for a very special person.enjoy.

[deutschsgut]

My dad turned me onto this song was in 2nd grade (1977/78) while we were plowing someone's driveway. I thought it was about the military. I just listened to Rosanne Cash's version, and got it. And, no matter how city I become, Merle is still one of the best songwriters around.

[Country1047KKRV]

Announced today for Wenatchee WA. Awesome!

[badbrad1971]

I got tickets for haggard on march 6 in edmonton,cant wait.

[TheJohnnyray14]

isaw Merle Haggard live in Montgomery,Al that was th best show i,ve ever see lasted almost four hours 20 piece band rasin hell

[ttttrushing]

Jewel and Merle you should hear this kid in Stphenville, Texas sing this song. (Tyler Cash Rushing or tylercashrushing on youtube) You would both be proud!

[a46474647]

Merle has alot of what Frank Sinatra had as far as how he delivers a song. Don't know exactly what I mean by that but it just ocurred to me.

[7680joe]

Both legends! apparently Sinatra was a big fan of Haggard

[909830]

merle should knock up jewell and send her ass back to the kitchen!

[Mandolin1944]

Sounds good but what happened to Haggard?  I only see one singer in the video -- you singing along with a recording I guess?

[CelestialWoodway]

@Mandolin1944 Merle and Jewel re-recorded a few of his classic songs together.

[Mandolin1944]

I'm hip - in fact I noted that fact. But this video as well as a number of others on YouTube if full of these "duets" but in the video only of one of the two singers i.e., Jewel appears.  If they recorded them together why is only one featured.?

[nightmn61]

well wish i could see merle he is my hero but jelew and hin was how it was wrote

[roosterkdo]

going to see him tomorrow in st. george utah. The hagg is one of the very best. so excited .

[britmanuk]

most modern female country singers sound the same - there ar every few that stand out like Dolly, Trisha, Deanna, Suzy Boggus, Mary chapin, etc all the new ones are so boring

[chrisXBsXhoney]

simply and absolutely beautiful! no words can actually explain...

[WildeNotesMusic]

Maybe it's because he wrote it, but I love Merle Haggard's original best. Thanks for posting the lyrics. There are a couple of minor errors, though (corrected here). Lyrics : Silver wings shining in the sunlight, Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight, They're taking you away, leaving me lonely, Silver wings slowly fading out of sight. "Don't leave me," I cry. "Don't take that airplane ride." But you locked me out of your mind, Left me standing here behind. (repeat verse)

[oldNavyJZ]

Yours aren't quite perfect either. If you're going to correct someone, get it right?

[fernleyguy48]

in 1969 we used to have a bluegrass band called the Gunfighters who used to come out to our NCO club at Monkey Mtn. from DaNang. when ever they played this song there wasn't a dry eye

in the place. This brought back some bittersweet

memories. RIP HAG

[lionking6199zj]

Uhhh... What do you mean "RIP HAG" (???) Mearle Haggard is very much alive, as in still living...!

[amjluis]

I did enjoy this version, However, I would go for Freddy Fender's one...

[athole1954]

have not seen freddies version on u tube

[amjluis]

HI there, sorry about my late answer. I have uploaded the freddies version, tell me what do you reckon, for me both are pretty good styles.

[HonoraryBeaner]

I didn't know Freddy Fender done this song. I like Josh Turner's version myself.

[FrozenRedneck1]

I used to sing this song with my baby way back up in the hills on those warm summer nights when we'd sneak away from harvest. :) i miss you so much baby, hope your happy wherever you are tonight, know i'm thinking of you and I'll love you forever and always.

[scd574]

AWESOME DUET!

[formyheartskeeper]

this song is a classic and adding jewel makes it better... they did one together i didnt enjoy... but this one more than makes up for it... kudos to both merle and jewel here.. two class acts one great song

[THX14438]

My favorite duet ever. Amazing.

[patkralc1]

Hard to beat when it comes to Merle, I really enjoyed listening to this, very nice!

[wizzard1956]

Ive been listening to , " the Hagg" since the mid 70-s . . . anytime I need a boost in patritism, he, s there, . . . a constant that is unfaltering thru out the years , thanx Merle, . .

[baxwest]

A nice pairing. Merle's voice never sounded better. So smooth.

[dahlimama1]

Woah! Can any female country singer sing better than Jewel? IMHO No! Beautiful!

[Vontheuel]

yeaH!

[victoriaamada]

does anybody know what happened to a live concert where merle and jewell sang this beutiful song???

[IantheWoodcraftsman]

There were 15 or so songs from this concert on Youtube. . . It was my favourite concert. All have been wiped, probably by Youtube, possibly a copyright breach. . .

[musicman5709]

My favorite song by the Hag ! and a nice duo w/ Jewel . Thanks for this one you 2 .

Thanks Merle for doing this song in Owensboro , KY in March of 2006 . Loved it !

[dsjan66]

The Hager Twins had a much better version of this. Does anyone have it....???

[davidbaine07]

Hearing all the music on youtube is changing me for the better!

[phtblu72]

lotsa of memories i had a friend funeral to this song

[bwelchathome]

although a very beautifull voice, jewel should have left this wonderfull classic alone

[tillydamilly]

beautiful

[CarolinaYank78]

love it

[BayRidgeKid]

Wow, what a beautiful duet, what a beautiful song!

Thanks for posting!

[Nationsnotregimes]

First noticed Jewell in a RARE decent movie "Ride The Devil"1998 and I was astounded by the skill in which she helped to tell to a story of our history !

Excellent posting ! THANK YOU!

[chiburui6]

Jewel Is the sexiest woman singer in the world.

Why? I don't know but that twinkle in her eye the sexy smile and that swaying of the hips just make my motor go Zoooom!

[jam1109]

Try the Knitters version on "Poor Little Critter on the Road"

[smilingtribe]

1 wish 1 live wot a gift wot a dream

[taoistcowboy123]

Excuse me, I'm gonna do some tai chi now.

[taoistcowboy123]

Merle was on it!

[nucklehaed]

great job keep it up folks...............

[vader6972]

his voice is so rich and mellow, hers is so shiny. I think it sounds great. She's no Tammy, but the pairing works great. Great sound. Great song.

[kathleenevabeen]

I love the adjective "shiny" to describe her voice.

[handymanjordan]

what the fuck is wrong with you? Jewel makes the song Merle should give it a rest.

[zarec]

Jewel's voice is awful and irritating hence the reason she is no longer heard about and Merle is still going strong. Do you also like the sound of nails being scratched across a chalkboard? Apparently so if you like Jewel.

[coleyman1]

Boy zarec, you are right on!! Jewel was just an example of how a 25 yr old girl can make a 65 year old man almost make a fool out of himself!!

Merle needs no one's help!

[jakk508]

kiss my ass fool

[zarec]

Thank god her career died......

[handymanjordan]

what the fuck is wrong with you? Jewel makes the song. Merle should give it a rest

[juniordrag0n]

i hate these Jewel Merle duets i keep searching for one that might actually be slightly good but they are all horrible Merle doesnt need anyone he does wonderful on his own and if he was going to do a duet with a woman it should be someone better than her shitty ass childish voice...whiney sounding bitch

[jhrunion]

not as good as the original, but they made a good combo and did a great job on this rendition. merle's and jewel's voices play off of each other very well. the knitters also did an outstanding version of silver wings. john

[ar15xm15e2s]

she doesnt deserve to sing with him

[bobsbarnacle]

Well, Merle must think she does...

[Pulsemeddle]

Actually he doesn't.

[obclem]

and whay would he think that?

[TIDOWNOW]

Nice version. I like Haggard and Jewel, but didn't think this combo would work out, but it's pretty sweet! Everyone should still hear the original. - It's a beautiful and heartfelt song.

[mstrfizzy]

Great song...so smooth......

[uni2ballx]

What the fuck is this? Stand by for George Jones and Susan Sarandon singing "They Call The Wind Maria."

[gunkanka]

I love this song so much.When I listen it; I feel good and so happy.

[texasfan1965]

I love this song. Jewell's harmony is especially good.

[countryman428]

she has a beatiful voice

[solhello]

she doesn't deserve what? you are a small peckered idiot!

[ar15xm15e2s]

she dosn't deserve to get to sing with him

[mariogeek13]

sad, God

given talent, sound but /

[JohnboyHall42]

Can anyone tell me how I can get a copy of some of the songs that are on some of the videos? There are some music videos of Merle Haggard singing some songs that I have not heard before. Is there a way to get the song?

[encorrall]

Merle the very best ever. Jewel is awesome in EVERY way. This is great. I like to sing Merle's songs. Please click on me & leave me some feedback. I love to sing for fun.

[rachelbunny747]

RIP VIkki ...god bless ... this song will never died !

[dwrdtoler2000]

Who needs Beatles when you got Merle..............

[2goodgrammas]

When Merle and I played music on his houseboat....Freddie Powers fell overboard and we...oh, never mind.......

[racheljlc]

I do, sorry

[madmexican007]

Bet that's what an angel sounds like...and she ain't bad either. lol

[BloodNGutts]

lol One of them anyway.

[tele1957]

Hey Merel, I am Larry And me and you have got to do some songs toghter, some how and some time I live in the mountains, I am the temberwolf band here in tennessee,where the whiskey is good and the woman are hot, so post a time and place, are ya game.thanks Larry

[BigBoiJC]

hey larry...i'm sorry but Merle most likely doesn't come here to youtube. try his website (if he has one).

[tele1957]

Hey Man thanks for the comment but I still have hope One day I will see Merel Haggard, And play his songs too I them as good as Roy Nichols and that man can Play a guitar, thanks to all of you for your comments. Larry

[ramhag]

i am seeing merle for the 29th time this wed,he has never missed one of those dates, dont mistake him for the great george jones you bimbo

[Ardsgaine]

This is one of my favorite songs by him. I wish the video showed the two of them together.

[nenohale]

Great song. They sound perfect together.

[melliecharm]

wheres merle?

[BloodNGutts]

I love him but she's better looking :)

[melliecharm]

Poor Guy...i don't think he should have used the name "Haggard" he fits the bill. Like my husband says "time hasnot been kind to him" But what a talent...makes him so awesome. I say he has still "got it" we have been trying to see him in concert for years..he always cancels out. shrug.

[BloodNGutts]

I totally agree. Gee, what a talent. I grew up on the man. I hope you do get the chance to see him .

[SimPotts]

Nice work!

[broac053]

A great song

[mikembrandi]

This was recorded in 1989, not 1999. I saw them perform this in Ft Worth Tx in 1990.

[remase73]

You mean to say that Jewel recorded this with Merle Haggard when she was only 15 yrs old? Somehow, I find that hard to believe.

[mikembrandi]

you are quite correct. Sorry.

[CDBlue47]

Great duet. I love it.

[southparkrokz]

I love this song! I saw Merle in concert about 5 years ago, wow his voice was so great live, it was the best!

[mvmays]

Beautiful duet - don't get much better than this. Thank you for the great post !!! A bit of a gut-wrencher for me at this point of my life.

Michael

[baguioode]

sya na nan chami kinanta ustoy chakami mangaew!!! Touche ay iyalab

[taoistcowboy123]

Very Pretty. Merle does an outstanding set up and Jewel comes in being the Jewel she is...

[MikeG62]

My condolences go out to you ACLSMedic69. I am very truly sorry about the loss of your sister.

[yahoolindylou]

To those of you who think you can do it it better- I'd love to see it! This song is one of my all time faves!

[ACLSMedic69]

did I miss something. I dont thing anyone said they could sing it better. All I see is praise for this wonderful duet.

[ACLSMedic69]

I cant even finish listening to this song...my father requested this played at my sisters funeral and it damn near kills me to hear this version. She died in a terrible crash that took her life as well as 2 other adults and 2 children.

Jewel truly sounds like an angel.

[remase73]

How awful! Don't even know how to respond. I am sorry for you!

[ACLSMedic69]

Thank You. My sister loved to sing and this was one of her fav. songs. A local couple sang this during her funeral ceremony while my sisters husband played guitar. I cant find the words to describe the sorrow and tears that fell during this song. It was so difficult for them to get thru the song, but they somehow managed. She was just 26yrs old, and I miss her so much.

Thank you again and thank you for posting this song.

[sturgis1957]

I added this song to my son's playlist before I read your comment. I do understand, he took his own life at 26 because he was so ashamed of becoming addicted to Oycontin after a back injury. He was my hero. I think u would also like Jimmy Buffetts' Sea of Heartbreak. I play it over and over on my way to the Mountain we buried him on.

[KappaAlphaOrderPsi]

by the way ClassicMusicVids, Merle's voice doesnt exactally sound par on this because the have raised the song up a couple whole steps to better accomodate Jewels voice.

:-)

[okbouncer24]

Her voice is so beautiful!!! She just puts me to sleep!!!!

[kamckenzie]

They sing this fantastic song so good together. Really enjoy listening to this and Merle is still one of the very best.

[KappaAlphaOrderPsi]

5/5 Merle amazing, Jewel angelic........ WOW So good

[remase73]

I think it's very sweet ..

[ClassicMusicVids]

Boy, I have listened to this one a thousand times on that Merle double CD from 1999. Merle's voice ain't ain't what it once was, but this is still a well produced track.
