Color me Haggard,Color me Jones Color me drinkin',Color me stoned Color me out there,out under the stars Color me singing,in old smokey bars Color me crazy,just ask my ex-wives Color me humble,cut down to size Color me laughing,onstage with my son Color me weeping,when our work is done Color me traveling,cuz' I like to roam. Color me Jesus...Sing me back home
Out of you and your brother's, you sound dead on like your Dad. Keep singing and keep your Daddy's songs alive and may God be with you always. God Bless You Ben.
I'm a huge fan of merles and I like bens music very much but you folks that think ben sounds just like merle must have bad hearing. Merles voice was smoother and bens has a rasby tone.
Ben you are destined to be just as great as your dad...I am very happy to hear that you are sticking to traditional country music and not the New Bro country which in my opinion is a great disrespect to to your dad and all the other legends that came before them...
Ben, I have heard you sing and play and I’d like to see you sing some of your dad songs I believe you are on the way to being as good as he was. You are going to be great
I love this song Ben. Loved your Dads music so much. Had the honor of meeting him once. Your are a wonderful gifted singer / musician, I love your unique Style. A little hint of Merle but a lot of Ben!
More!! I'll keep hitting that thumbs-up button! I think of your dad every time I see and hear you. And that's a good thing! Put out cover-song albums, original material albums, I'll buy them all. I'm not the only one! You'll probably never read this but that's my wish and hope.
Great delivery of your song. I would love to see you on stage, singing not only your songs but a few of your dad's greatest hits. Keep up the work, and bring us more......
I don't think I should be ashamed to say that I have listened to this song at least 100 times and every time I listen, I cry. I remember growing up with the 70's rock. My daddy made me listen to Merle day and night. I recall the sad feeling guitar of Roy Nichols and Norm Hamlet's steel. Jimmy Belkin, Biff Adams and Ron Reno. Don Markham's saxophone. Ben, you are a very special soul. Just like daddy used to say...can't everybody do that! Keep on pickin' and keep on singing!
Love that song. Your dad and Freddie sang that on tnn. Wrote it for Johnny I think he said. Love your music Ben, your voice keeps sounding better with every video you post.
What can I say? I enjoy all your songs. This is no exception. I just pray I live long enough to see you achieve the level of success your talent deserves. Merry Christmas to you and your family. God Speed!

We are a lot of people that loves your fathers work among other artist !!! .- hope some day we can see you touring in south america.- Thanks for sharing your pasion and talent.- My name is Orlando.- this year we made a tribute show in honor of your dad. .- bye.....music & peace 4 ever.-

I hope you and your mother and all the Haggard family are doing well, prayers with you all. Stay strong, Merle is at peace and shining his light all around you!
Fantastic job Ben, such natural talent. I can't wait to hear more, your voice is playing through our whole house. Love your sound, keep the music coming! Big fan of your Dad's, now a big fan of yours too!
Mr. Haggard, you did an amazing job here!! Love the nice acoustic rhythm you had going! The singing was great, everything was! Keep up the great work! Your dad would be really proud!
Love this! Your dad was my favorite country singer. You, Ben....are my new favorite! Like your dad...you are anointed, and I LOVE your voice beyond words. ❤ God bless you and may you enjoy much success!!!!
WOW! Just Have To Say it Again, WOW! You Know Who his Father is When He says The Very First Word. That is His Father Coming out in his Son's Voice and I cannot help but to want to keep Listening To Him All Night Long! The Song, "Color Me" and The Voice Singing it is Ben Haggard... WOW! Please Son! I am 67 and I Miss Your Dad and You Fill That Big Ole Hole He Left Behind! May God Continue To Bless You and Open The Doors! Walk Through Those Doors and Sing Your Way To The Top of... Country Music. Please Keep on Singing and Recording! Listen, It is A Must Listen To Song!
Great job! I discovered your dad when I was 15. I'm 21 now. He was my music hero. I wanted to see him in concert before he left us, but unfortunately I was unable to. You have a similar sound and I know he's proud of you. God bless.
I grew up listening to your Dad now I'll be listening to you, the first time I saw you was on crossroads with your brothers and when you sang "It's All In The Movies " it just blew me away how much you sounded like Merle and to be honest the very first song I can remember when I was three years old was your Dads "Today I Started Loving You Again " just like your Dad you have a pure country voice, God bless you and your family Ben .
I know you probably hear this a lot but you sound like your Daddy. I have the pleasure of seeing him in Zanesville, Ohio before his passing, I'll never forget that.
One of my favorite artist of today. Ben has alot of pure talent and I think we will see alot of him as he matures as a artist. He does have alot of his dad in him. They way he says certain words sounds alot like Merle at times.
I just got the best Idea!!!!! you need to go live on UA-cam at one of your concerts!!! or better yet at your home/office!!! BOOM best idea of the year!!!!!!!!!!!
Well done Ben .You are a credit to your late dad .I loved MERLE, he still is no 1 in my life. I listen to him every day he was great singing all his songs. I could not fault any song of your late beloved dad .So keep singing Ben .l shall always play your songs also.❤❤❤❤ ELIZABETH SCOTLAND ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ben Haggard ..I also recently purchased a 000-15.. great guitars! .. also if you don't mind me asking.. I noticed you were using an irig studio mic to record your songs.. what was in the latest video you put on? & are you using just only that mic? Thanks!
My Uncle Duck met Merle Haggard at the 76 truck stop just west of Jackson Tennessee back in the early 70's it's a T A truck stop now he said he sat down and drank coffee with him.
I really like these recordings you've done with just you and your guitar. I especially like where you are looking into the camera. It seems as if you are singing directly to the person watching. Keep it up. You and Noel deserve success. .
Ben, i grew up listening to merles first 11, and first greatest hits album over and over, then later read his book when you were little......i always said merle was the best in the business....and who would have thought that years later his son would sing and sound exactly like him. Hope all is well with you.
You need to cut album your really good you've got it all going on great vocals. Do you write songs? I'd like to hear your promos. Thank's for the posting this video
I love this video so much. I wish you could do others the same style as this with looking directly into the eyes of the viewer. Your new one with Dolly, Demons, would be great with you singing it alone. In this same style. I know you probably aren't allowed to do that, but maybe you could find another love song to do. Anyone that sees it would fall in love.
Wow, your voice makes me cry, but good tears. That amazing voice, will live on into my kids generation. THANK YOU!
Color me Haggard,Color me Jones
Color me drinkin',Color me stoned
Color me out there,out under the stars
Color me singing,in old smokey bars
Color me crazy,just ask my ex-wives
Color me humble,cut down to size
Color me laughing,onstage with my son
Color me weeping,when our work is done
Color me traveling,cuz' I like to roam.
Color me Jesus...Sing me back home
JohnLeePedimore i want to hear this version!

JohnLeePedimore that's some great lyrics

Out of you and your brother's, you sound dead on like your Dad. Keep singing and keep your Daddy's songs alive and may God be with you always. God Bless You Ben.
I'm a huge fan of merles and I like bens music very much but you folks that think ben sounds just like merle must have bad hearing. Merles voice was smoother and bens has a rasby tone.
You can tell he's Hags son...sounds just like him. Merle is one of the best songwriters in American Music.
John Hill Yes... The Mighty Soul Of Merle Haggard!
Deb Drinkard the
Incredible voice and delivery. An artist in his own right. I will lay my money down to see Mr. Ben Haggard.
Ben Haggard is my all time favorite artist !!!! What A awesome voice and talented young man
He is an artist in his own right. Better than most of the garbage Nashville produces today
You can see the passion oozing from his lips as he sings and strums guitar.
Thatboys. Got the love of country music in his soul.
You really do carry on your dad's spirit man. Every time I pick up a guitar I end up playing Haggard tunes.
Dude! Just put out an album AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!
Ben, when will you be releasing a record?
Ben you are destined to be just as great as your dad...I am very happy to hear that you are sticking to traditional country music and not the New Bro country which in my opinion is a great disrespect to to your dad and all the other legends that came before them...

Ben certainly sounds very much like his father Merle when singing 'Color me"
Awesome song!

Drove back to Cincinnati, from Somerset, Ky! Listened to a lot of Merle's songs!
Nice tune! Anyone know what type of guitar and model he's playing??
Aaron Callahan hey man it's a 1937 00-17 martin.
Thanks Ben! The condition of that guitar looks amazing! Nice playing man!
Ben Haggard ..I also recently purchased a 000-15.. great guitars! .. also if you don't mind me asking.. I noticed you were using an irig studio mic to record your songs.. what was in the latest video you put on? & are you using just only that mic? Thanks!
Now this might sond crazy!
Turn the video on, but don't watch Ben!
Listen to him singing withy your eyes closed!
Boy, it's a powerful experience
Why is this man not famous? I love all country music, new , old, in between......but jeez......why doesn't he have a recording deal?
My Uncle Duck met Merle Haggard at the 76 truck stop just west of Jackson Tennessee back in the early 70's it's a T A truck stop now he said he sat down and drank coffee with him.
Ben, I love this song and I want to hear more of the song...
Ben and Merle got the same soul
Merle lives on in your voice and spirit
Watched this after watching Merle do it live on a talk show. He originally wrote this for Johnny Cash. Doing the old man proud, Ben!
I really like these recordings you've done with just you and your guitar. I especially like where you are looking into the camera. It seems as if you are singing directly to the person watching. Keep it up. You and Noel deserve success.

Please save country music and release some records.... the crap they are putting out now SUCKS!!
I love this video so much. I wish you could do others the same style as this with looking directly into the eyes of the viewer. Your new one with Dolly, Demons, would be great with you singing it alone. In this same style. I know you probably aren't allowed to do that, but maybe you could find another love song to do. Anyone that sees it would fall in love.
That's a number one right there!
Love this song! Keep recording your music! Thank you for sharing your voice and talent!
Ben, you sound just like your legendary Daddy. What a voice ! You will go places, son!
