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!

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.

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.

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

[hungerypooper]

[hotlinklarry]

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

[robfergusonjr]

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.
