Merle & Kris - The Long Black Veil - Portland, Or. 2011

Merle Haggard & Kris Kristofferson sing The Long Black Veil. A haunting song, first made famous by one of Merle's early idols, Lefty Frizzell. Later coverd by countless, including Johnny Cash and The Band. A great story told in the form of a timeless country song.

Thanks. I love that song, too. It sent a chill up my spine when I heard the start of it. I'd never heard Merle sing it either, though I know that Lefty was one of his biggest influences. One of Merle's biggest hits was with, "That's the Way Love Goes," and it's one of my all time favorites.
