I've worked all day on a part for an early Fender steel guitar now I'm listening to the replacement for Merle on voice!!!!!!! ...... Superb Ben !
How I would love to have met them !!! My two regrets in life.. not talking to Merle or Buddy Emmons before they left us!!!

ROCK
COUNTRY MUSIC
Could listen to his songs all day beautiful ♥️❣️💙💚
you are making your dad proud beautiful rendition
Good stuff brother. Wish I could sit down and play some of your dads songs. Been playin for years.
For this reason I still keep at it. Hard to find a band that understands How i play without a song list. He taught me that.
Hag said 2 min you have them!
Really good,keep up the great classic sound
Dynamite! Always been one of my very favorite songs.
I remember seeing you with your Dad in Huntsville, Alabama. Jeff Cook from Alabama played that night with the band. Didn't know much about you then, but you are a great musician, and you have a wonderful voice.I saw the video of you and Noel singing together and then you singing It's All in the Movies. That was a great performance. Not sure what Nashville is looking for these days, but you should be a star Ben Haggard. Hope to hear more from you soon.
Pops would be proud
You hit this one right on, like always. Thanks for sharing. Like I said, love your work just like I love your dads work. You were born to follow in his footsteps. There is not better music to have on your list anyway😊 Thanks for sharing.
The legacy lives on
Wow son that was great👍
Ben is making real country music of his own but sadly the industry could care less.
So much like dad...your gonna go far!
tons of talent !
Awesome
very very well done
Just AWESOME!!
Love ya Benny. One of yore Paws best numbers. Well done Buddy.
love it...
Great job Ben
Best thing going today
Ben you are blessed with the voice and talents of your old man and after a few years of being on the road being hurt by people you trust you will develop your writing Skills from the pleasures and pains don't worry about what people say do what feels good to you and say what needs to be said and what you feel. I am really gonna miss your dad but you are helping me just by doing what I've seen on UA-cam. I have listened to Merle, Willie, Waylon, George Jones and Strait since all the Outlaws were on the road in the 70's passing through towns and leaving their Legendary trail across the globe. Spend as much time with Willie as you can and make him tell you stories there are a lot of songs unwritten there ... Always remember your heart is a great place to start...

A little bit of your own twist to a great tune. Sounds great Ben!
nicely done Ben : do you guys have your dad's ol Martin triple o he used in pop goes the country an the glen Campbell good time hour the geetar with his name on the finger board in mother of perle inlay that was a sweet geetar I would love to see you use that in one of your videos if it's still in existence. thanks for this video exceptional voice Mr Ben .
love Ben
Merles smiling and so is George. This was George Jones favorite so ng
Hell yeh !!!!
THIS WAS GEORGE JONES FAV SONG OF YOUR DAD SO GOOD BEN
I love George Jones, and what you said is a fact. Ben looks just like the Hag
My heart!!
Ben, don’t change the lyric. You said 24 years old, and later, after 20 years of picking. So, you were 4? You are a great country talent.
He probably started at 2. His dad was MERLE HAGGARD! ASS
I have absolutely no doubt he had one of his daddy's guitars in his hand by the age of 4. Early vids on his channel show him playing like a pro in his teens.
Yeah he started in his dads band as the lead guitarist at the age of 15.
Beautiful job
No DNA test needed.. holy hell he's great
That's because this is Ben!😂
Awesome!!!
It’s Merle Haggard’s baby boy Larry, one of four that plays in the band
Daddy Merle would be proud.👍
Ben... Che voce meravigliosa per una canzone molto bella! 😊🤗😍😘🎶🎸🎶💘❤️💯💋🌅
wow!
Neat sounding tune
The only two Country Singers I love is none other than Joe Nichols and Ben Haggard of today's.
One the few children of a master that can actually sing
Shooter Jennings is a prime example of someone that would be washing dishes if not for who he is
I disagree! Hank 3 is but shooter has some real Jams that I love. Do go expecting to hear daddy and you wont be disappointed. Shooter also writes his own music.
Hey Ben that was Beautiful. You've a wonderful singer. Thank you for posting this video. 🕸🦋🕸🌻🕸🕊❤
Denise Hedden the acorn don't fall far from the tree.
sings just like daddy
Nice job
Soo good
Amazing
THE BEST BRAND
Nice!!!
awesome
*BRABO*
A. cord he had me
What model Fender is this?
Ben. Can you please tell me what kind of hat your dad was wearing when he did this song. I can't find one like it on the internet. Thanks. RIP brother Merle.
Damn if he don't favor his dad.
Your Dad always told me he liked to play this one at sound check. In order to see what condition his band was in . I asked him why. He said why not Kelly?
I know you understand that. Ben I am prpud of you! Your Dad is very proud. Give mom love from me!
Awesome ass job.
Looks and sounds just like his daddy..
he is his daddy
Merle's clone
I'm glad he getting paid but that guitar does not sound like Merle Haggard. He has hags first guitar and he knows what to do with it
Ben is excellent, but he changed the age line to 24. When the line "after 40 years of picking" comes, it makes no sense unless Ben started at 4. Don't change Dad's lyric!
Michael Lunburg Well he's not 40 some years old so... When I play this song I say 30 some years old. No big deal pal
dude sings it great, and he can sing it any way he wants - doubt his dad would care
He might have started at 4. My grandson did, on stage by 6. He's 13 now and headed for Juliard (sorry about the spelling) Some souls are just born that gifted. I call it from God's ears to theirs.
Ben was the lead guitarist in The Strangers from the time he was 15 years old. It’s also his birthright to sing his fathers songs. He has been gifted with an incredible legacy, and this young man can perform, just like his dad did.
