    Willie Nelson plays a vital role in post-rock & roll country music. Texas-born Nelson is an icon of the ’70s outlaw-country movement, favoring a stripped-down style that could both evoke desert-highway vistas (“On the Road Again”) and initiate the most intimate of conversations (“Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain”). He has collaborated with some of the biggest names in the genre, whether that was Merle Haggard or Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash & Kris Kristofferson in The Highwaymen and written some of Country Music’s most popular songs including ‘Crazy’ made famous by Patsy Cline. In the 21st century, Nelson’s outlaw ethos has continued to manifest itself in all sorts of surprising ways: He’s become America’s most visible pro-marijuana activist and Snoop Dogg’s unlikeliest duet partner.
    About the album:
    An album of all-new recordings, God's Problem Child adds 13 new songs to the artist's repertoire, including seven recently written by Willie and Buddy Cannon, his longtime collaborator and producer. The album is Willie's first to debut all-new songs since Band of Brothers (his 4th Legacy release) reached #1 on the Billboard Country chart and #5 on the Billboard 200 in 2014.

    It's 2024...I am 72 and grew up listening to Merle. Miss him and George and so many others. So thankful to have this platform to keep their music alive and available anytime the mood hits.

      Just saw this on Willie's 91st birthday. Merle is my favorite ever. He would borrow minnows when I was 15 on Lake McClure in '74. Had a houseboat across the dock from us. Always replaced them and then some. I didn't even realize then.....how much he would mean to me later. Thanks Willie for doing this for our friend

    Merle considered Willie one of his closest friends, and Willie felt the same about Merle. Willie honoured his friend of 50 years the best way he knew how, by singing a hauntingly beautiful song together with Merle's youngest son, Ben, who sings backup and plays guitar throughout the song.

    The guitar riff at the end by Ben Haggard, Merle's son... WOW! It gets me in the "feels." I shut my eyes and just see Merle effortlessly playing that jazzy riff on his Tuff-Dog Telecaster. Instead, it's Merle channeling through his son, and it couldn't be more beautiful. It's a signature style all to Merle, and thankfully his DNA is living large in Ben as well.

    Got the news this morning
    It would be a tough day
    Someone's so much larger than life
    Can't believe he could pass away
    When it comes to country music he's the world
    And it wouldn't be all it is without his word
    And He won't ever be gone
    His songs live on
    A fugutive and a brand new man
    Mama tried to understand
    Left us a lifetime of songs
    And He won't ever be gone
    We were friends right from the start
    And we shared some high times
    I would sing some songs he wrote
    And he would sing a few of my own
    Music made us brothers 'til the end
    Not a day goes by that I don't miss him
    And He won't ever be gone
    His songs live on
    Ramblin' fever and the way I am
    Blue collar blues for the working man
    We'll be singin him back home from now on
    And He won't ever be gone
    And He won't ever be gone
    His songs live on
    A fugutive and a brand new man
    Mama tried to understand
    Left us a lifetime of songs
    And He won't ever be gone
    We'll be singin it back home from now on
    And He won't ever be gone

    Willie Nelson wrote this beautiful tribute to Merle, one of his closest friends. Their friendship went all the way back to the 60s. It must be heartbreaking seeing his buddies slipping away one by one. In this article Willie talks about that friendship from the time they met until Merle rang him and said that he had lung cancer. It's well worth reading.

    I was looking at my facebook page and I saw a Happy Birthday tribute to Merle. A few hours later, I saw a remembering Merle Haggard tribute and I honestly thought they had fucked up! I looked at Yahoo news and...there it was...Merle Haggard had died, on his birthday. I was born in '77. I had never met the man. Never saw him in person. My Mama introduced me to him through his music and I fell in love with lots of songs. It felt like a family member died when I saw that he was gone that day....still does. This is a lovely tribute with if I remember correctly, Ben (?) playing his guitar?

    I've watched this video at least a hundred times and it tears me up every time that I do; even when the views are in succession. Merle is my favorite of all time. The fact that Ben Haggard is playing E. guitar and singing back up only sweetens the deal. I hope that Ben goes far in the music business. He is good! Pancho and Lefty is my second favorite song of all time. Thank you Willie. The words you sang are felt by millions!

    Sad anniversary indeed. . .Merle Ronald Haggard (April 6, 1937 - April 6, 2016)
    But so glad he brought so much. Thank you Willie. This is a wonderful homage. Even better because you and Merle are kindred spirits.

    I remember first time I met Merle that was with the Hamilton Brothers when they had a special priviate concert in Geneva Ohio. It was then I was up close and personal with Merle when he was sick and having a hard time breathing. I helped him be able to breath again after he was able to gain back his ability to carry on with the event. Merle was very much a beautiful soul and a very caring individual I had the opportunity to know as well as enjoy his company after. And breakfast the next day was amazing with him. He was very much a charictor. Always full of smiles. This is a man who definitely is a legend! Merle has been missed by so many of us who truly had that opportunity to really know the true loving enjoyable man he was! Willie your Tribute to Merle is amazing and it shows the true friendships you have had!! God Bless you Willie and may our dear friend Merle R.I.P.

    Got the news this morning
    Knew it'd be a tough day
    Some are so much larger than life
    You can't believe they could pass away
    When it comes to country music he's the world
    And it wouldn't be all it is without Merle
    He won't ever be gone
    His songs live on
    A fugitive and a branded man
    Mama tried to understand
    Left us a lifetime of songs
    And he won't ever be gone
    We were friends right from the start
    We shared some high times
    I would sing some songs he wrote
    He would sing a few of mine
    The music made us brothers till the end
    And not a day goes by that I don't miss him
    He won't ever be gone
    His songs live on
    Ramblin' fever and the way I am
    Blue collar blues for the working man
    We'll be singing him back home from now on
    He won't ever be gone
    He won't ever be gone
    His songs live on
    A fugitive and a branded man
    Mama tried to understand
    Left us a lifetime of songs
    He won't ever be gone
    We'll be singing him back home from now on
    He won't ever be gone
