Hello Christine, how are you doing?
The Haggard boys were giving a musical gift. All of them three, they should be thankful
What about the 4'th one, Scott?
@@keithclark486 Didn't know there was a 4th!
These Haggard sons can all sing, they are definitely talented. They should be all over the radio
Dang! He looks just like his dad!
All of do so cool
He is the best. And yes a Christian man. I really miss him and he left his voice to his son's. They sound just like him. God Bless Merle Haggard❤❤❤
Gosh it’s like hearing Merle . All three of them sound great !
It's a trip😯! Good men are blessed by God and Daddy😏~
Marty. Having the courage to be honest about the pain your dad caused you without throwing him under the bus. Tough kind to walk. You rose about it and chose to honor his talent instead of focusing on his shortcomings. Classy. Good for you sir.
unbelievable...I can't see it because of the tears...it lives through Marty
I don't go to "Country" radio for my Country fix, I come here!!! 💜
105.5 fm as 105.9
Let me say right up front, Merle Haggard was and is my favorite male country singer. This song brings tears to my eyes, makes me think of my mama and daddy.
. We were poor, my daddy was an alcoholic, but boy could he blow a harmonica! He spent time in prison as well for making white liquor! My mama was a good Christian woman and loved him in spite of the hell he put us through, so did I, and everyone who knew him! God has blessed you boys(men 😊), please don't forget He loves you. Take up your precious grandmother's mantle and carry on her legacy along with your dad's!!!❤ Love y'all, Myra Lail from Connelly Springs, North Carolina!
As a Pastor of a small church in Tarrytown Georgia Marty came and did a concert for us just for a love offering he is kindness man I know and has a real love in his heart for Jesus and the youth of America he spent an hour after the concert sitting in the floor talking with our youth great man.
I'm not surprised to learn, that Marty is a sincere, nice man that loves playing his father's music. I hope to meet him one day soon! Love his music!
Regards, Larry R. From. Franklin, TN.
It really has been a long time since I was in Tarrytown,Ga.When I lived in Vidalia,Ga it was Blockers General Store I remember most.Nothing quite like country music!
We've got a concert here in Valley Alabama
What I was trying to say is we have a large concert stage outside I would love to get in touch with his agent or someone to see if possibly when we get back going after covid if I could see what the cost and what his riders would be cuz I would love to have him come down and do a concert owner outdoor stage would you text me the information if you've got it brother my number is 706-773-6315 we're on the Alabama Georgia Line
not a night goes by that i dont listen to merle haggard
But his music kept the family fed. His music was so awesome!! Loved it. I went to a concert where he played next to George Strait, it took me awhile to get into George Strait’s music after listening to that great man play and sing. Merle was #1 in country music.
3 sons all artists with their fathers singing talent
Scott also sings so 4 2 daughters
As long as his 4 boys keep singing Merle will never die. It's unbelievable how they all sound like Dad.
4? I only know of: Marty, Joel, and Ben, so whom is the 4th. ?
@usezx2xn1kj3u Scott
He has another talented son, Scott
Aw Marty, you are the best. Your dad is smiling.
My wife cynthia gorham Haggard was Merle's niece
Small world
Grandma Haggard was an jesus in a skirt.
Boy you got that right !
E jjuyu@@phillipnickel5740
Marty harggard is a real true believer in Jesus, he has a God given gift in his voice, oh that everyone could get the gift of salvation thru the precious blood of Jesus. Whosoever believes Jesus is the son of God shall not perish, but shall have life eternal. Hallijuah, praise His Name.
Amen
Our God in great, Amen
Which god would that be ??Is that the god that lets kids get killed or parents killed or just a so called god
if the so called god then your so called god has caused more suffering over the years than any so called
human !! I look at history and now look at Ukraine and I see your god looking down and doing nothing
and when you tell me how much power your god has I ask why would he/she do this a child with no legs
a man with no arms a woman with no feet you tell me how good your god really is then and only then
come back to me with an answer !! My god yes My god is my god and he also needs to know the answer because my god is not above all he is with me as one he is my god he needs no introduction he needs no
advertising he is just my god and last time I spoke to him he was in tears because he did not know what to do thats my god and no one elses god we all have our own god do you now see the light ??????????
Jesus is just a made up name nothing more nothing less god is the answer but as I say who's god would that be In a nut shell god which ever one that might be go with us as we go to our grave because the grave is where we are all going Lets hope we go without tooo much trouble EH ???????????
Marty sings it a little different, but sooo good & proud of his father, love it:
Living testimony.
Marty, Noel, Scott and Ben Haggard are all talented and sound a lot like their dad.
My brother had 1951 Ford when I was about 12 we put a 8-track tape player in the car I used to listen to Merle Haggard tapes such as Okie from Muskogee I became a Merle Haggard fan
Hi how are you doing today I hope you love this song right
First song i played on guitar.
My husband is actually kin to Merle Haggard. I think his Grandfather and Merle's dad were brothers but not sure. Marty is starting to look more and more like his dad and what an amazing and beautiful voice. Their daddy would be so proud of them.
Did Marty Haggard appear on the Reba McEntire show on television?
Kb
That would be a great blessing of memories
Merle could imitate Marty Robbins High notes and all. Unbelievable !
Marty Haggard jumps up off a sofa and sounds better than anyone on the radio today. Amazing.
You got that right!!!!!
Today's Country music is shit.
When he was singing he looked like Merle.
Will never be another Merle but Marty comes close.
Hes a drug addict who makes a majority of his living off his covers father's songs
I have a CD in my 25 year old F250 that should have been worn out years & miles ago. I still play this CD (only one) when I drive, especially out of town. The radio doesn't pick up many 'country' stations so I take one with me.
Love what Marty said here. It was just dad to him. Beautiful
Marty sounds so much like his daddy, it gave me chills...in a good way..beautiful!!
You should hear Ben
@@seanjames9662 doesn’t sound like merle. Marty and Noel do tho
Scott also
So beautiful to hear Noel talk about Lord Jesus Christ.. AMEN
All of these boys seem so well behaved and I can see how talented they are; I believe they grew up with respect for their Dad in spite of the problem that come with a musicians family. The core was probably Grandma Haggard. I hope they all have successful careers in music and I hope they are proud of their Dad because he brought such happiness to all of us. He was a great singer, probably the best of all. Much success and a lot of people had hard times early on.
Really great songs ,i love country music,,with a great voice,,
Great nysuc0
I like all of these fellas!
Those songs bring back
Memories of my family, growing up!
Mind-blowing that all 3 sons have Outstanding A-list voices🤠👍
You know it !
@@ClaudiaHeinowski-k4oanother son Scott
My favorite country music star is Merle Haggard. Always will be. I’m 74 years old and still a fan!!! Thank you, Marty for bringing back some 🥰sweet memories.
1967, my dad was signed to go on the road to open for Merle. It was a rough bumpy ride. He eventually decided he better go home with his family. He never lost his admiration for Merle saying "he was the best that ever lived." My dad never sang or played music again.
I really miss the hagg.really...tears are coming down as i listen to his kids ....its all in the movies ..
Hi how are you doing today I hope you love this song right so how is your day going today
Super....
@@johnolejarczyk4110 hi nice meeting you here so where are you chatting from
From my living room of course...
Remember...it's all in the movies ....
Marty made his daddy proud. Met him recently and he was so kind and genuine. I'd pay to see him live again with no hesitation
What a beautiful tribute to your Daddy and your Grandma!!! Thank you Marty, TRULY BEAUTIFUL!!!
Marty Haggard sounds just like his daddy. Marty's a better singer than most country singers today.
Brings tears to my eyes. I was raised in a poor family. My daddy was handicapped since I was three years old.
Marty sounds like his dad, looks like his daddy and I know I seen him when he first started singing with his dad! Daddy would sure be proud of his boys!
Allene Jimenez
I’m
I could listen to them all. But I think Ben sounds more like his dad. But I loved Merle and all of his music.
Marty LOOKS JUST LIKE HIS GRANDFATHER
THE GLASSES HIS NOSE
@@ronnawitt4253 aq y66yy u+a
He reminds of his dad Merle too, what great voices, Marty is awesome too!!💗
It's uncanny how much Marty sounds like his Dad. You do him proud.
Marty kills it, has the best qualities of Merles voice 👍🙌🏻
Wow! That's country music....not the crap you hear on the radio these days.
Looks like & sounds like Merle as well.❤❤
Love the Hag and the boys!!!!!!!
We respect these musicions and their songs and love that we are able to play them
Merle was the greatest artist that ever lived. He could sing better than most and sound just like them.
E det var h
Oh! My God, really thought that "Marty" was Merle haggard, he is the reincarnation of Merle. I am so proud of his 3 sons 💙❤😍😭♥😢love you all. May God bless you all.
R.i.p Merle haggard. I'm sure your legacy will live forever ♥ through your 3 sons.
I know my sister Libby Roberts loved all of those boys. She was his Fan Club President for years. My daughter and I went to Nashville to see Libby and we went to the old Gilly's, where we met Marty and Noel. My daughter got up and sang with most of Merle's band that day. Her first time singing with a live band. Since that time she has been front singer in several bands.
Merle was always my favorite CW Singer and will remain so. What fantastic sons he has. Marty's singing sounds so close to his dad's. GOD be with you all.
I saw Merle Haggard in San Antonio Texas at the Majestic theater close to the end of Merles life...The audience did not know this at the time, but was a GREAT show and I thank GOD I was able to see him that night....Rest in peace Merle and know YOU WERE LOVED as a Father first, and THE BEST MUSICIAN in Country music ever!!
Wow, beautiful background singers! I’m sure they can sing in their own rights, I’m very sure of that. Tom from Boulder Colorado.
All the Haggard boys are All Very Talented..Sound alot like their Daddy..
there r 2 singers i dearly love 1 is Merle Haggard and his 3 boys the other is George jones and Tammy Wynette none better I 80 years old and go to sleep every night listen to them

Hello 👋 Sharon.
Hi guys make Dad and the fans proud,you do all of that !
I have watched this clip. Many times. All three of Merle’s sons are talented. You can see Merle in each one of them. I enjoyed this so much. The music and stories. Marty sings this song very well!
Thanks for sharing your videos and keep them coming please.
Pure country,I just love this special.
Marty Haggard came and sang at our church several years ago. He sounded just like his dad. I kept wishing he’d sing “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.” That’s my favorite Merle song!
Hello Ashley. How are you doing?
He sounds so much like his dad. I grew up on merle haggard. Amazing
Hello kelly

Hour
OH my GOD! Now, I'm 58 years old, and I grew up listening to the greatest country western men and women, that ever graced the stage of the Grand Ole' Opre!! But how did I not know about Merle Haggard's sons? I'll eat your hat if Marty doesn't look like his daddy! As I write this comment, I have my ears on full blast and love it! I've probably heard this song 50 times or more. And Marty's rendition of this old song makes his papa proud!! Thank you so much for uploading this video! God bless you and God bless America!!
I miss Merle, but I could also listen to Marty all day. I wish he had a cd or would make some. I know he's very involved with his church, but wish he'd cut out a little time to share his beautiful voice.
Mama's Hungry Eyes, makes me remember my Mom was raised up dirt poor, she made something of herself, went to Berea College, in Ky! Became a beloved teacher for all her students! They still tell me wonderful stories of having her for a teacher! Mom made the best of any situations, we had a washing machine, no dryer! Clothes on the line in back yard in summer, on lines in basement! We ironed everything! Today, I will never iron again! She did without, but her love never wavered! Strongest woman I ever knew! I never went without love from my parents! Salute to all the Mom's who put other people first!
I can't get enough of listening to these 3 men singing. I love Merle. I was raised on country music. All the greats. Good job guys. I wish I could see you in a show ❤.
You should be ever so proud of your Mom/What a wonderful person/She sure taught you a lot about the hardships in life/So glad to read about dirt poor people(although I hate the word DIRT) somehow doing their best to raise their quality of life/GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
@@mauriceoreilly901 Thanks, it was hard, but never went hungry!
Beautiful performance ❤
I am from outside of this scene . Sorry for my English . I have a great respect for this man singing for his mum. I like this music and gives thanks for his mum, suffering . A great tribute.
These guys are Merle's left to finish up slowly, and they are a the best of country, love 💕 them guy's

His voice is beautiful! I've heard the other boys sing, first time hearing him.. so much talent they all have ❤❤
Another superstar just like his brothers and ez legend of a dad
All of them should be huge country stars! Thank you for the great music.
yea, but sadly, country ain't what it used to be
You sound so much like your dad. He would be very proud!
I love his voice and the song. Merle left a lot of talent behind. Enjoyed "Mama's Hungry Eyes"
Marty definitely got his humbleness from his father 💖😇💖 All three boys are amazing artist in their own rights.
Each one touched with their father's magic.❤❤❤
Unreal talent in the Haggard family I am blown away
Great song and singer just like his dad merle
I grew up listening to Merle Haggard! Best days of my life was sing with my Dad!

Marty sounds just like his Dad. Awesome
I had the privilege of being backstage with Merle haggard and Ronnie Dunn and George strait and shook their hands and they were awesome
Loved his words, “ Jesus doesn’t see God, he sees his father...” ❤️
Wow
@@suurshirl5499 true, they are great vocalist n the x2 mimic their Dad's likeness!! WOW!!
MARTY HAGGARD AND NOEL HAGGARD SINGS JUST LIKE THEIR DAD, AMAZING SINGERS
💪💪💪💪
Beautifully spoken.
got to see Mr Haggard in Hammond
I can't believe Merle's voice genes transferred so well.
Wow! Not only does he look like Merle, but he sounds just like him.
So glad Merle’s music lives on through his sons. Three very talented men
Absolutely!!
Amazing!!!Noel is ny favorite
4 boys Scott
Watched this many times, Merle would be so proud of all his family but the three boys do him proud!
All three sons are talented singers, depending on which song they sing, there's a touch of that special Haggard voice, which remains unique, what made him one of the best singers. Good luck to all the next generation of Haggard singers, who have huge shoes to fill.
I was knocked over with a feather when I heard Marty sing. It brought a tear 😢 to my eye
I've played guitar and sang with Marty and Noel though never the pleasure with Ben. Both would come into Barbara's in Printer's Alley and it was always a good time to hang out with the them. At the Hall of Fame Lounge in in 1992, Merle came up to our stage and asked if he could play my guitar, like I would ever say no. A true legend of Country Music
4 son's..Don't forget about Scott..His story is on youtube
I met Merle Haggards former Sales Manager yesterday, hes currently now th Vandells Sales Manager. Small World.
Marty you sang that song so well,It actually brought a tear to my eyes.I could see the hurt in your eyes.I know that you loved your Dad.You Ben and Noel are awesome singers.I love your voices.They are very heart touching.Thanks for sharing your talent in memory of Merle Haggard.God Bless You All.
God Bless you all!
Me too. But oh how I miss Merle. Thank you Jesus for Marty's faith in you 🙏
Hi penny
Me as well several tears, some because of happiness and a few missing my Daddy who absolutely loved Mearl Haggard
Is so beautiful,apple doesn't fall to far from the tree
This must be one of the best voices I´ve ever laid my ears on.
I wanna say all Merles boys are the greatest..he has left behind his music and his lengend!!!
You can say what you want Marty sounds soooo much like his father
Hes got a beautiful voice.. I could listen to him all day
He came to our church twice. Very, very nice man. Would go see again and again. Loved his music.
Merle's mother lived to see his success...her prayers were answered ! God is good.
Jean, amen! God is proud of him and his kids! God Bless!
all the time
Hi Jean
I got to see Merle in Wichita, KS and it was on my bucket list. I've loved Merle a long time and his songs rang true to life. Great job Marty! You look and sound like him
Wonderful to hear Marty sing and to hear about their back ground story. Didn't know how tragic a life Merle had led. God rest his soul and may his children make him proud as I'm sure they are trying to do.
This song touched my heart and reminded me of my Mom who passed with cancer when I was only 8-so many similarities! Rest easy, Merle!❤
³÷
Damn! Every one of his sons look and sound like him! I’m literally blown away! I’d buy a ticket to either one of their shows ANYTIME!
He is definitely his father's son! He does this beautifully! What a wonderful tribute to his dad.
My beautiful brothers. My beautiful dad. I miss you dad. Love you heaps ❤❤❤❤
Marty was raised by his grammar and Jesus.. How great is that
Hello Lynn
Damn Marty Haggard can sing just like his dad!
I can say I’ve met Marty. He came to our little country church and sang/testified for of us one Sunday night. It was amazing. He sounds so much like his Dad in person. Beautiful beautiful voice. Love him.
There is something else there. Some deep feeling, a sadness maybe, that sets Marty's version off from Merle or anyone else. I just noticed it. It is haunting, in a way, and so touching.
Just beautiful! All those young Haggerts are awesome country music singers and players!!
Beautiful, all 3 of you
