As a state trooper we helped with security at one of Merle Haggards concerts and I got to meet him by shaking his hand. He could have just walked on but instead stopped and told us how much he appreciated me [us] patting my hand. Thank you for this tribute to him. He was not only talented but I believe a good man..
@@billie877 Having the same last name, I was always asked if I was related to Gene. We are from the same part of Texas, but the answer was 'no', but I'm a big fan. Thank you, Dale Watson, for your support of Gene Watson. This was found on the internet in response to , wondering if they Are they related.The answer is no.
I went to 6 of his shows, but never actually met him, but I had tears in my eyes when I heard he had died, I understand now why my MoMA cried when she heard Elvis had died, just like Elvis, Merle's music will live as long as time goes on, or until Lord comes back !!!!
Merle Haggard the best singer-songwriter of country music. The poet of the common man. He lived it, wrote it, sang it and the songs live on! The man, the legend, the mighty Merle! R.I.P.
R.U. Dunn mr. Dunn you don't know me but thank you for what you said about my friend mr. Merle Haggard to the 36 I normally wouldn't say this but I guess I'd say idiots that had thumbs down on this song to a great man a legend a poet one of the best country singers of all time keep your thumbs down to yourself don't be disrespectful to him or his family if you don't have nothing better to do use that tonight saying thumb to turn the music off cuz all of you would look funny with just four fingers on each hand
One of the best --Kris Kristofferson wrote some great tunes, as well. Janis Joplin nailed it with "Me and Bobby McGee". Johnny Cash admitted he pretty much claimed "Sunday Morning Coming Down".
I love this memorial tune, Merle touched a lot of the one's that are gone now, I miss Haggard, and miss and ol' boy out of Bloomington, Indiana. He played the steele guitar, and was Nashville Quality. Miss youn's both.
Yes indeed!! I love me some haggard! Met him years ago in Folsom, Louisiana and got a pic with him and autographed for me " My Favorite Memory" cause he said he wouldn't sing it anymore... It made my year to say the least.. ! Loving your music a whole lot Mr. Watson!!..! And may I say you are a very sexy man indeed!.. Thanks for your great music!!. Keep up the good work!. Maybe I can get to see u one day too and get your autograph and picture.!.. Lol..
All of America ,especially all of Muskogee Okla who knew you and heard you sing ,We all love you MERLE Haggard. We will always know that you.were An Okie from Muskogee Okla and I Am an Okie from.haskell.County Oklahoma. Rip Merle
At the age of 13 - I fell in love with Country music because I heard Momma Tried,then there was Always here till Closing time . From then on I bought every album of Merel 's I could find. He was and Always will be the Heart & soul of Country music 💕
Having spent a lot of time in Bakersfield, I was exposed to both Merle Haggard and Buck Owens, and greatly appreciated what they both did for country music and the community. While both of them have now passed on, they live on through their music and their legacies. Thank you Dale Watson and Ray Benson for your wonderful tribute to one of my all-time favorite country artists.
Leave it to one of the last greats to pay tribute to a country hero. Mr. Watson and Mr. Benson...to you I say thanks. Thank you for the real country and respect for those that paved the way. Both of you and your bands shall live forever as do the true country legends!!
I love this song...especially the ending with the fiddle playing "The Farmers Daughter" to end this GREAT GREAT SONG!!! I also love all the cameo appearances, especially King George, Huey Lewis, Johnny Knoxville, Kristopherson, Sir Willie, & Steve Earle!!! Ray Benson & Dale Watson REALLY did a GREAT GREAT JOB on this Tribute song to The Hag!!! Much love from Mobile Alabama.
Music should feel very fortunate still to have country heroes just like Dale and Ray Marty Stuart Kris Kristofferson Willie Nelson the traditional fundamental style of genuine country music will never change heritage not hate🇺🇸
Wow brought me to tears ",feeling Haggard" Dale Watson and Ray Watson. ,thank you for keeping the one and only Merle memory alive with this song , he would be proud of you both, God Bless you all "" Brian Margolis falls church Va
Just found this!! Wow, thanks to everyone involved! Been a Haggard fan all my life, played and sang his music for the last 35 years, and ALWAYS will. 🇺🇸
I thank ray Benson for writing what's in my heart everyday . He was my best friend . If not for he and freddy powers I could. Not have survived 1982 When . my dog died on . May 15 my mom on may26 my brother in law in June and my beloved brother went to san Quentin in July on . My birthday I was treated like a queen and comforted like a child should be when tragedy occurs he was my companion when I rambled up and down interstate 5 for about 30 years I only listened to hag and willie in my car I am so blessed to have been a true friend to them both
I was a close friend of mr haggard and your song feelin haggard was my first step in recovering from our great troubadour passing I. I thank you ray Benson, my sincere thanks😢😢😢
This is real country. And thanks to old Bob Wills for inspiring a couple of the best in the business with this tribute to Merle Haggard who also took the Texas swing baton and carried it onward.
Damn!! What a great song and what a great duet! Brings tears to my eyes. Ray Benson and Dale Watson are two of the best, hard core, torch-bearers of classic country music.
I have been a Merle fan since he began. Not only is this “about Haggard” song a wonderful tribute but your voices and instrumentation gets the tear ducks working overtime.
Don’t feel bad paulaperry, it’s been out 5 years now and I just heard it the 1st time a few days ago. I’ve probably replayed it 2 dozen times since, am definitely going to put it on my Pandora playlist
A good tribute. I'd wanted to see Haggard live since I was in junior high school I even read his autobiography. Later, I hoboed for several years and his music came to mean much more to me. Forty some years later I finally drove 8 hours one way to see him perform in Charles Town, WV. He died a few months later. If I hadn't made that trip, it would have been one of the regrets of my life.
Terrific tribute to Hag. Dale's voice is remarkable, Ray is, well, Ray - and does a great job hear. Instant classic, heartfelt, the best ... all the comments are spot on!
HAGGARD my greatest country influence ;he knocked me out when i played his collection album (way back 70's) ….loved him ever since then ! thank you guys for this one
I don't know know how to give this video/song more "thumbs up" -- but I know he feels the love from the performers -- and those of us who watched and loved it!!!
"Feelin' Haggard" every day here in Alabama. (First time hearing this song for some reason). I Love you guy's. As always, I haven't the words that will do justice to describe the depth of gratitude and pride I have for all of you. You have given me a LIFETIME of the BEST music, lyrics, talent, UNIQUE VOICES, and I'm truly Grateful for you all for staying the coarse ❤️. i know you love it. I'm almost 59, so I can remember at a very young age what & who I loved. And cry for every day! The last of the very best, hands down. And I saw it all. Never ever, will there be another generation that will be capable of producing the sounds, feelings, and humanity that you all have. sincerely, I really appreciate and love you.
GREAT video tribute to a legend. So happy that I got a chance to hear and appreciate his music. I finally saw him in concert and what a show that man gave!
Yes, hagrid was such a beautiful singer and a best man sure missed his song. Rest in peace. Hag tears in my eyes for you. It reminds me of my husband when we were just young. God bless you. Hag rest in peace. Love you🎉😂😢
I'M STARTING TEARS SINCE THE DAY HE PASS AWAY.....AND SOME SONGS.....MORE THAN OTHERS.... BUT THIS SONG IS TOO..TOO BEAUTIFULL AND THE BEST GIFT TO HIM.....THE REMIND OF HIS FRIENDS♥️♥️♥️
I got a T-shirt at an Asleep at the wheel Concert maybe a week after Merle Passed away. They sung this song to memorialize Merle's passing. I will never forget. I wear my Feelin Haggard shirt a lot. Rest In Peace Merle... 😢
Entre los mas grandes exponentes del country. Haggard trascenderas generaciones, con tu gran legado musical. Sensible profundo y popular. Graciass y hasta siempre querido Merle Haggard.❤
I wish there was a love button because i love Haggard, i love this song and i love Waston and Benson for doing such a great tribute for one of the greatest country singers ever! Thank you!!
Love this! This is what country music is all about. Ray Benson and Dale Watson did a great duo job loved the harmony. The video was fun and interesting. The Belair car was a nice touch. Also loved the guitars they featured. Just a fun video, thanks for posting.
back again for another listen. First class song, a really great tribute. We can only believe now that Merle is out there somewhere in a fine jamming session with his heroes, Jimmie Rodgers, Lefty Frizzell and Bob Wills. It was through listening to Merle that I discovered both Lefty and Bob. I was already a fan of Jimmy Rodgers before I discovered Merle, I liked the cover he did for his Jimmie Rodgers tribute album, Same Train a Different Time. So my love of JR brought me to The Hag. Meanwhile good country music will live forever Not one of these singers will ever be forgotten. Thanks, Dale and Ray for making this memorable song I am equally a fan of you both also. Thanks for the sharing
Wow,I can't believe that I never heard this before. Haggard was the one that turned me to country with 1 song "daddy frank " he was truly the the poet of the working man "big city " album was my all time favorite
Love this song so much. I can't stop listening to it. Greatest tribute song I've ever heard. Thanks to everyone who contributed in making it.I love the voices. Again i must a big thanks to all
how many times have i played this song it's GOOD.................like a woman that knows what a man wan'ts before he does ,and they are far and few between now day's .....just like this song .
Roy Benson o interpretare a unei melodii country cu foarte mult suflet și înțelegere al acestui gen muzical ! Frumos de ascultat ! Genul muzical rezista datorită lor ! ❤❤❤❤❤
Never thought one song would sum up Merle as this one does. His life written in the words, just like his own songs. A very fitting tribute for such a great man. Thank you
All my favourite songs all this ❤❤ nice voice ❤

Can’t disagree, but if you don’t already listen to James McMurtry, you should.
One of the best --Kris Kristofferson wrote some great tunes, as well. Janis Joplin nailed it with "Me and Bobby McGee". Johnny Cash admitted he pretty much claimed "Sunday Morning Coming Down".
Dark Matter - kris Can’t sing , hell of a songwriter , that’s what separates Merle
I love this memorial tune, Merle touched a lot of the one's that are gone now, I miss Haggard, and miss and ol' boy out of Bloomington, Indiana. He played the steele guitar, and was Nashville Quality. Miss youn's both.
Hey how are you doing…?
This song sure hits home, tugs at the heart. Well done Ray Benson and Dale Watson. R.I.P. Merle
Great job fellas!! 💙😢
