Jewel and Merle Haggard - That's The Way Love Goes

[nakidsoul]

The greatest, truest, love song ever wrote ....Bar None...

...and ...Jewel...!?!....oh Baaaaaay - beeee...! Girl, Calll Me!

[etransform]

Just loove Merle's songs

Just love Merle's songs: Big City, Thats the way love goes, Swinging Doors, Working Mans blues, I'll just sit here and drink, ..... and the list goes on. He epitomises Country to me and millions of his fans. Strange that he has not been inducted into the Hall of Fame for Country Music yet. We should launch a petition ;-) Thanks for the post.

[NoriesW]

thats great dont here good country like this any more

[CHRIS12754US]

Beautiful music with these 2

[wormsinker]

great duiot love eveery in of it

[dangervich]

Really sweet and strong voice: reminiscent of Dolly Parton's. And Merle... no words.

[MrMortarman]

@dangervich dolly too phony, jewel real!

[MrMatto1]

she's hot and sexy

[LLMorse1]

Nice.

I would do for my family too!

The caveat...never sell out...don't comprise.

Know the Constitution...and keep it.

At all expense.

[killerklown205]

she was homeless...and I like that!

[kk294Darlene]

A million thx :D



[90898927]

I love this song,Mearle and Jewel together is wonderful! Thank you.

[MsSweetLoveMe]

I simply love them both, and its perfect together

[BardofShadow]

Wow, they sound awesome together. Thanks for sharing!

Jewel's sweet tones and Haggard's gruff ones do complement each other. Did they do more duets or is this the only one?

[356slick]

WOW!

[Mccrmck30]

Great! They sound great together

[caswell1000]

I love this song. Thank you for sharing it. Who is Jewel? 10**********'s and Thumbs Up!

[hotcat67]

Beautiful!!!

[ehramsey]

Cause Jewel is better to look at, DUH!!!!

[SuperVinny55]

@ehramsey what a daft reason

[TaylorMariePetty]

Why do you only have pictures of Jewel?? Merle Haggard wrote this song..

[Harleydom55]

@TaylorMariePetty ... nope...that would be Lefty Frizzell and Sanger D Shafer



[dhuang8]

I've always liked Jewel a lot. And Merle of course is Merle, the legend.

[MrRAYMOND1942]

I love Merle Haggard, Along with Vern Gosden, George Jones Conway Twitty, Ray Price, Tompall and the Glazer brother Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynett. I guess all the old ones. Even Kitty Wells.

[theirishinc]

Probably the most beautiful duet ever!!

[rebelchild84]

I sure do miss this easy going kind of country.

[martindr2]

great song...thanks for posting !

[glambert123]

this song reminds me of my dad. I dont see him very often, but he used to play this song alllll the time when I was growing up. Every time I hear it I think of him.

[hokiangasinger]

Wow I never realised they sang together- what is teh album called? two of my favourite artists!

[tamilapp]

Have loved Merle since I was a little girl (yeah, I'm in my 50's) and loved Jewel since "Who Will Save Your Soul" sooo...what a great comb!..I love artists who are willing to work with others of different genres..it's small minded people who just don't get it...

[BabexayPorshaei641]

hèy_I_fêel_sO_lØñEly_töÐÄY

[etransform]

Heard Jewel for the first time. Sounds a bit like Dolly Parton. Good.

[timandamyirwin]

this will play at my wedding, thank you :)

[jamiboan1]

here all this time i thought johny rodriquiz invented this song...then I find out that lefty was the one that started it....and jewel is the one that ruined it....first time I have heard her sing and it reminds me of munchkins.....bad............

[spartanqueen44]

Jewel is my absolute favorite! She is the type of person our children should be looking up to, not the type of girls that are out today. Jewel is genuinely wholesome and is a wonderful role model for this generation! She can sing and has class!! Way to go Jewel! :D

[MrMortarman]

lets not forget alan jackson, there is a real twang.

[kbakermemphis]

They just don't make country like this anymore, Travis Tritt is the end of the line. Now it's all just pop with a twang.

[MrMortarman]

ty murray gotta be the luckiest bull rider in the world.

[aimeecurry46]

I love the fact that Jewel leaves her teeth a little crooked, it is so endearing! Nothing pretencious, plastic or phony about her. She's great!

[jonnypaget]

@aimeecurry46 UNLIKE YOUR TYPICAL PRETENTIOUS YANK

[HYPNOTICVIDEO]

@aimeecurry46 Well she is also a very pretty individual , Never noticed anything wrong with her teeth but now that you mention it... ah ha! D

[memphiskicksass]

@aimeecurry46 shes still hot even with her teeth crooked, i wouldn't kick her out of bed, lol

[jozuha68]

@aimeecurry46 or cheap

[irishgeal1]

real singers, not like the warner bros shit they are putting out now,

[Dogwarrior]

@irishgeal1 I think there are a lot of great country singers now... but their songs... are just what you said... Shit. Most modern country is designed for young girls to dance to... Old country songs were designed to drink to... or to cry to.

[irishgeal1]

@Dogwarrior yes so true, who's the girl singing on your site, its lovely, pure and raw and homemade, the best form of singing anywhere.

[unclefestus]

@Dogwarrior

You're right. When I was in college, me and my friend would sit around drinking every weekend, and it was Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, and George Jones we listened to while doing it. The best drinking song though was "Reasons to Quit" done by Merle Haggard and George Jones.

[thetimelesswonders]

@Dogwarrior Or just plain enjoy. Can't agree more with todays country. To me it is un-listenable.

[996joe]

It' all good! Pretty true to the origional. Neither tried to "outshine" the other. They just sang the song like it's supposed to be sung.. (How many others can use sang, song, sung in the same sentence.)

[garfield1473]

great country music wife love Mearl' we met kip t brown here in GA he use to play guitar for Mearl. he wanted me to get on stage to play guitar with him' well i didn't it was 4 am and i was so tired get on stage to play guess i blew it..

[chuckewhitt]

kool!!

[MrAlaska67329]

Her voice is not made for this song. She sounds like she belongs in a twangy soft rock song.

[duncankingdog]

snaggle tooth and the hag in perfect harmony....

[crobarus]

That was awesome. two of the best voices ever. Merle has a hard-on

[wthjrtx1]

Thank God Ty got you. your the best. Playin with Merle has to be a dream come true. Love ya Girl. Glad you did it. Merle is a treasure....We Love him so much!!!!

[LiquidxEviL]

PAINFULL AHHHHHH.......THIS IS WORSE THAN DOLLY PARTON

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM SOMEONE NAMED JEWEL. I WONDER IF SHE'S JEWISH? HMMMMMM...... YOU THINK

[bchnut2]

One of the best remakes ever!!! Note for note just like the original. They didn't try to change it. Merle is as good as ever, and Jewel....well what can you say but "beautiful"!!!

[CactassDupree]

I just fell in LOVE again thanks

[90898927]

I love this music!!

[misselli100]

Great music, great voices, i love it! Thanks merle

[dallymallyer]

Agreed!!

[hawkeyedave]

You fools that gave this a thumbs down have no souls! I feel sorry for you all!

[Renotzz]

I'd eat Jewels shit if I had the chance. That is one fine ass bitch,.

[failedbadly]

@Renotzz ...if jewel doesn't punch you in the face for calling her a bitch, i will do it for her.. no questions asked.

[jbjumpback]

When my wife dies of old age ....

I will beg Jewel to marry me.

[CactassDupree]

@jbjumpback all ready taken  sorry

[hphurst]

Beautiful, I love Merle Haggard and with Jewel, well just beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!!! Brought tears to my eyes.

[Mario11621]

wow



[RasMajnouni]

Johnny Rodriguez did also a great cover of this in 1974.

[jeasocialwk]

Dated a guy about a year ago. I liked Merle before, but now........I would like to get my hands on a whole collection of his. As for the guy..."that's the way love goes." Haha

[justindyck]

Merle has the coolest laugh ever.

[MaxIII]

Yes, I've spent most my life lookin for that 4 leaf clover... and, I did find it quite a bit... Thank for the beautiful music and heartfelt story... Merle and Jewel, you are a treat here!!

[ceesie40]

I love you both

[margies47]

This is my favorite versian of tihis song.

[TheLongshot11]

The women still sound good,but how do they put on all the wt.Jackyes I am slim

[zany2x]

You kinda mangled Lefty Frizzell's lyrics. As it goes:

That's the music God made

For all the world to sing

Thanks for posting this duet. You can clearly hear the many nuances in Merle's singing voice -- so rich, so full of color.

[mangreen57]

great huh

[SantaJS1]

Brandi, this is for you....<3

[DEBRACRANFORD]

Beautiful and simple. And they both carry each other. Thats what a good duet is...

[Kitehnz]

oh bother

[kerriechandler]

the master and the young one, can't get much better than this..

[kerriejeanable]

the master and the young one, just plain love it.

[tickyreal]

LUF IT !!!!!

[iansoundz]

The best duet I believe I have ever heard...I believe..

[kennyIsaacs]

Merle Haggard is the best all time singer in the world. He has in him a sould that understands a sad man with a hard time life. He is the greatest

[cyndi1231]

WHEN WE NEED MONEY, THAT DOES NOT MEEN WE SELL OUR SOUL, WHEN I WANT YOU TO SING TO ME I DO NOT WANT SOME PERSON TO THINK I GET IT BECAUSE THERE IS SOMEONE............ELSE ......SINGING... I LOVE MERYLE, I WANT HIS VOICE, HIS STYLE, HIS LOVE THANKS CYNDI

[berthaledford]

merle haggard thank for this special song of all the songs in the world my james and I chose this as our song I lost my james 01-01-2010 he love your music and snag alot of it quite a bit. In his word " ther will never bee another merle haggard or music like this any more"

[JaimeGirl2]

I disagree, Jewel holds her own here. As always. Great duet.

[Manidahoan]

Merle Carries this Jewel Duet

[EdGary1]

Jewel has a voice that reminds me of the great Anita Carter

[Tedone2]

Wonderful singing and harmonies.

[SmokyMtnBanjoPicker]

jewel doesnt really fit in here. i love merles music but a pop singer doesnt really fit in with classic country.

[TheVigilanteMan]

MMMMMM Jewel

[Panbaccha]

Merle Haggard and Jewel ... a divine combination of experience and sweetness.

[matt1284508]

Go Merle!I

[conway411]

Remase73 Thanks for the video cause Jewel & Merle doing this song togather sounds Better than hearing it solo thank`s agin

Conway411

[Tusc3184]

I found my 4leaf clover in Nov, all my life i cant remember alot of good times besides my children being born, but that all changed in nov 2009, i found a person who would never hurt me. His love warms my soul.. i feel forever safe in his arms..

[BIGJUDGE1975]

@Tusc3184 Holy Cow! This sounds like myself! Children was the only good thing I ever have had. In November I met "the one". I often asked what I ever did to deserve all the hardships and trials in my life. Now I simply what in the world I ever did right that I deserve this precious angel in my life that I call "sweetheart", "baby" and "beautiful" and such. Katy, you are simply amazing and a gift from up above. Love You!

[a46474647]

They're not too convincing as a couple, ie calling each other honey, etc! A full-grown manly man and a delicate little girly girl ! Uh-uh, I ain't buyin it!

[654321cathy]

@a46474647 you are sick and sould not be aloud to post on youtube can't sat something nice keep you mouth close ass ole

[a46474647]

Hey 654321cathy, lighten up, will ya? Where the heck is all your anger coming from? I said they weren't very convincing as a "couple". So why does that throw you into a rage where you have to call me "sick" and an "ass ole"? Cripes, if someone could bottle up the hostility out there on Youtube we could send another rocket ship to the moon. BTW, I love Merle and Jewel but I still think they stink as a duo!!!

[cdurack]

jewl should have been country

[nightmn61]

well wake up it is a lil girl and a dad that want  to help

[themisners]

Life ain't nothing if your not sharing it with someone.

[mpardel]

super sound, thanksMerle and Jewel

[stratman123]

It sounds like the lyrics are "For all the world to sing", no "For all the world's the same".

[musiman28]

I have to agree with you!

[nitemoovs]

Why dosen't she get her teeth fixed.......not like she couldn't afford it.

[kdw456]

she is so beautiful indeed..

[eastwood13]

Any video available of this?

[ColoradoBansuri]

I know for a fact that Jewel can sing when she wants too. Why does she have to use that "cutesy pie" voice? If she used better taste, she could compliment Merle much better.

[FordoFilez]

ditto...

[jamesmcmuzik]

ITS HER GOD GIVEN VOICE

[chiefsmurph]

@ColoradoBansuri soooo true. what the hell is she doing? sounds like shes 10.

[latykai]

jewel and merle are for real. nothing plastic and phony. down to earth i love it! thanx for the post

[Brimstone3x6]

@latykai Yeah maybe Merle should think about that plastic. maybe he would've gotten a picture or two in this video.. lol. just kiddin Merle! I'm an Okie too!

[Boyce1725]

@latykai They don't make them like Merle anymore.

[Guard007Pup]

I'll show Jewel how love goes....make her sing a little better too....

[DickieTT]

Damn nice vocals, but where the hell is the Hag? Not one image? Lefty wrote the song, but Hag made it a hit in the 80s.

[stendec73]

Man the video sucks dicks ...but the song is awesome.

[stendec73]

Hell shit I would love to make that girl an Aussie.

[krammit69]

Well, I'm afraid I have to jump on the "elbob17-formyheartskeeper band wagon" and agree that the harmony just doesn't work. I'm a big fan of both of them and love this song but Merle ought to keep this a solo

[formyheartskeeper]

im inclined to agree with elbob17... not to take anything away from jewel or merle haggard... i enjoy jewels music, voice and raw talent... as well ive enjoyed merles great music since i was a child... but i just dont think the combination works here...

[JVernon83]

Jewel U R HOT!!!

[MrSouthernMan1]

@JVernon83 voice is too.

[459franklin]

Great country duet. The deep and harmonious maturity of Merle and the youthfulness of Jewel's voice, quite a wonderful blend of talent.

[boboo44]

awesome !!

[TheSonnycarter]

reaching for that four leaf clover and it never be there

[sbannister1]

i have to agree with jbjump....she might be as perfect as Ill ever see fantastic every song other than the laast knock on pop she has done.......great voice

[sbannister1]

"well honey dont worry, dont you know I love you too...as good as it gets.........thx

[yankeeredneck34]

OMG!  Sent shjivers up my spine Loved it!

[Williedsel]

Anyone that enjoys good harmoninzing should go crazy for this rendition.

[kbrown1969]

All you can say is PERFECT!!!!!!!!

[jbjumpback]

Please God forgive me ...

Jewel is the most perfect woman you have ever created.

The voice the attitude, smile and grace.

[GX2Photography]

Merle is a legend and Jewel sounds like a song bird. Great song!

[fdpell]

Just close your eyes and appreciate the harmony, music and lyrics. Why be so critical? Just chill and enjoy these wonderful artists.

[acetoned76]

This is brilliant ! Thanks so much for posting.

[19722008pwarner]

there good 2 geather

[musicman5709]

It'd be great if Merle & Jewel could make an album together , wouldn't it ? It'd be a SMASH !!!!!!!!!!! Love it !

[ginmillsinger]

Great post! Thanks! :c) 5+Star's!

Very best of wishes!

GinMillBill

[damianrwhite]

Jewel is simply stunning

[xxmirchinxx]

i keep coming back - good quality !!! thanks again !!

[stratman123]

She doesn't have to give hummers-She knows all the words!

(kidding)

[xxmirchinxx]

good stuff - thank you for posting

[Chickenhawk9932]

great duet.

[2558465]

Speaking of Beauty...I have actually been out with women who are uglier than this Lady...Much Unglier Much More Smelly and with alot less Talent...Can you believe it ??? ELVIS

[blaalampe]

Thanks for posting this beautiful song and for all the wonderful pictures of Jewel.

[cochisewolf]

Hey, okay, well I guess it's true, not everybody can sing country but still, I mean she's singing with Haggard - who's going to sound good next to him, he's just too good and has such a unique style, what can you do?

[archeeizm]

Yep! Mrles the man!!

[singmeluv]

Jewel did a great job of harmony on this with Merle, high voice or not.

Why call her snaggletooth because one or two teeth are crooked?. She may have unnatural fear of dentists.

[oldmtnfart]

Well, I think Jewel can sing. Maybe she can sing some songs better, but it's that true for most singers? One thing is fact, she is one cute gal.

[Balldrape]

she's the hottest snaggletooth I've ever seen!

[daniel3877]

she done killed one of the best songs ever !!!

jewel, dotn ever sing country again

[ItsTruth2]

Jewel sucks

[Nationsnotregimes]

See how she helped tell a story in a Rare decent movie. "Ride The Devil" 1998

[Wikk90]

No you.

[AuH2O]

Jewel is a poetaster skank, and I bet she's never even heard of Lefty Frizzell. This recording is part of a whole bunch or inferior re-recordings Merle was more or less forced to do in the 90's for financial and contractual reasons. The addition of the skank hardly makes it better either.

[1pinchipendejo]

Snaggle tooth sings this too high!!!

[georgeraft4]

Has anyone got a copy of Merle singing -Deportees?

[bug1965]

I really like that she could have recorded this song with anybody...like some young meaningless punk. But she did this with a master and for that I respect her. Despite the age gap....they are artists and are both incredible talents.

[rdar2d2]

Jewel doesnt fit, not a country voice

[karmicdogmom09]

His original version is so much better. She's a great singer, but her voice is just distracting here.

[Riicek]

Love Jewel's voice, but not a big fan of most of her music.

Still, great voice on that gal.

[jbjumpback]

I love Jewel / Adore Merle

They both are masters ...but the generation gap is far too wide ..the connection between them is not believable on this tune.

[LordReth]

I would never have thought of putting these two voices together, but wow... they mesh so well.

Love them together!

[warrenart]

I don't sense any relation between the two - it is just two people singing the same song. Seems like something a clever producer put together. I doubt if they were even in the studio together at the same time.

[olivernewsweekly]

Awesome.... just about perfect....

[2guitarme]

This is a lover to lover song... They are both great in their genera, but not a duet singing a love song to each other...
