Thanks Don listening while putting new water line so momma can water garden just keep thinking (she sure is pretty). shit here comes the bylaw got to run .. HAKAD
Doesn't get any better than Merle. You are doing a great job Don. Keep it up , your reviews always make me think!!! BUT , like most others I really love your first time reactions!!!
Roy Nichols was Merle's original guitarist but he passed away before some the later music was made. Watch Workin Man Blues live from Austin and you'll see Roy playing.
Whereas 60's Merle is probably my favorite, his 80's run (which includes this song) is just as stellar. But then it's Merle, so you wouldn't expect anything less. Essentially every single he released in the first half of the decade is fantastic but I particularly love "The way I am", "My favorite memory", "Going where the lonely go" and " A place to fall apart". The version of "Pancho and Lefty" he sang with Willie is also great, but I like Townes Van Zandt's original a little bit better. If it wasn't already clear enough, the Hag is a personal favorite of mine and there are too many songs of his I love to mention even a fraction of them in this comment. "Mama Tried", "I take a lot of pride in what I am", "Sing me back home", "Swinging doors" and "Ramblin' fever" are the first few that came to mind.
I love the way that Waylon and Merle and Hank, Jr were never afraid to include horns in their recordings!" Do a reaction to Waylon, "You Went Out Rock and Roll!"
Ah, the genius of Merle Haggard. The drumming in this song has always fascinated me. Probably played by Biff Adams, but it's the beat that I can't identify. Is it a boogie beat? I don't know enough about styles to figure it out. Anybody out there know? Thanks Don and Dan.
Another strong song is "What Am I Going To Do..." The live show version from Austin has the best "take it" flows between the players! You and other commenters will enjoy the short verses, then long solos to let the poor bastaerd think about his life choices at the moment.
Classic Merle!

Merle is the best. I have over 250 songs by him.
I wonder how many "Greatest Hits" albums Merle has? RIP to the great, one and only, Hag.
Man I played all the time through the 90s into 2000s. My hardest drinking days.
Merle the GOAT. Thanks Dan, thanks Don!
I love the horns, and you gotta love Merle.---#UTRCM
Great song, great music. Love it!
Thanks listening again
It only took me 50 years to figure it out. I was today years old when it dawned on me that he was talking on the phone!
Merle was always relatable if he was anything at all. Love this.
The Hag! Haven't heard this in awhile. Thank you.
Out Among The Stars is another great Merle song
Hey thanks for reacting to good bye time I liked your reaction thanks again. Keep up the great work

Merle was in the pocket on this album.
@@noelco2 got that right.
