Mr Merle was THE BEST EVER. Thankful His Son are Caring His Music & Their OWN. WE Listen to Mr Merle, Noel Lee, Ben every night since Nov 2021 7-8-24 MABS
I always tell people it is like this: There is Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and George Jones. You rank em how you like. But, those are the greatest. I love them all intensely. However, I have to put a thumb on the scales for Merle.
I am old. And Sometimes I can hardly wait to get there for Jimmy, Momma, Merle, Johnny, John, Buck, Roy, Roy, and so many more that spelled out the word greatness.
Just can't stop listening to this songs, just can't stop thinking about the youthful days, you seem to love the music alot right, I can tell from your comment, they will be so glad to know that people are out there who cares and appreciate them so dearly.....by the way nice meeting you on here, I hope you are having a wonderful time out there right ????
You know whether you like country music or not you have to admit he had the most terrific Voice and a great instrumentalist I've listened to Merle since I was seventeen years old and he's my favourite of all time. Sure going to miss him. There will never be another to take his place. You sure can relate.
You have it right Cody Simpson. The Great Hagg! If you do not love this you need to have a head check up! Gotta love Hagg. We all have to go sooner or latter. He sure had a super great run.
She never stopped loving and worshiping her special man Merle. They were so perfect together. He must have broken her heart many times but she was always there for him ❤️
Merle Haggard, greatest country singer, songwriter ever, hands down! His music covered so many different things about livin’ and life in general! He’s missed everyday, however he’s left us with a gift…..that gift is his music! RIP Merle, forever in the hearts of your many country music fans and country music fans in general!
Without a doubt. The most prolific SONG WRITER of his or any other generation in Nashville BAR NONE. Hank Williams carrier was less than 10 years.Haggard's was 50 and he had hits in all 5 decades. His hit songs speak for themselves but,beyond those hits are one of the most important and amazing catalogs by ANY songwriter in ANY genre of music comparable to Bob Dylan, Lennon/McCartney, Cole Porter or ANY other name that one might mention. Music is not a competition but greatness speaks for itself...in my humble opinion.
That song has some great lyrics. How many times do you think Mearle went on stage feeling bad. Those footlights bright and in his face. But still had to smile for his fans. I think Mearle went down fast after he realized it was over as far as tours go. Grew up on Mearle and still listening at 63. What a great songwriter, musician and singer. There aren't many that were ever out there like that. ( Hank William's, Mearle Haggard, Kris kristofferson , Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan) They were songwriters first . And wrote many songs for many different artist including themselves, but out of all who among these greats I still have to say Hank William's and Mearle Haggard will always be at the top of the list. Takes a different breed to be able to do what Hank, Mearle, Kris, and Bob did . Songwriters first as I said and always Mearle Haggard will be my favorite of all time.
Several years ago, my daughter have ma birthday present of a ticket to see Merle love in Charleston, SC. Best concert of my life. Merle was REAL and talented and ill always remember how joyous that evening was to me. God bless, Merle. Haggard like ive never been before... 😂Chuck
We lost country when we lost Merle! He had the ability to reach into our heart and some how soothe the hurt! What a tremendous talent! Rest In Peace Merle you were the best!
When I was in the USAF I would come home on leave and my Dad and I would get some cold beer and listen Merle and George until we hours in the morning. I sure miss him and the good times we had
I'm 15 years old and country music has no place to go when it's over, so tonight we'll listen to haggard and jones, and kick out today's country songs.
....15 huh?....well little brother....keep the faith.....there are enuff of u youngins who love the classics of country....to spawn a whole new generation of "legends in the making"......
I used to listen to George strait a lot when I was eleven and twelve then by the time I was thirteen I found merle haggard the fugitive was the first song I heard by him and I loved it and before you know it I’m a big fan of Hank Williams and George Jones and earnest tubb bob wills and stuff
The greatest friend a song ever had. 'I'll never get over his passing because he helped me get through. some of the hardest times of my life. To me, in my heart, he was family. R.I.P. HAG ! you earned it buddy
Saw my friend Merle in 1982. Had a few drinks with him and a few members of his band. RIP my friend. Will see you on the other side. I'm hurting today! Your friend Ron.
If i was dropped off on an island and i could only listen to one artist for the rest of my life..it would be ol hag!...hands down. May your amazing music live forever!
when this song came out , we all were like, man I dont think it can get better than this, then 35 yrs later today you go , man it sill dont get any better than this....true legend that set the stage so high only a few can walk that stage...WAYLON...HANK JR..GEORGE STRAIGHT...ALAN JACKSON...GEORGE JONES.. VERN GOSDIN..VINCE GILL.. THESE GUYS MADE COUNTRY MUSIC WHAT IT IS, NOT WHAT IT IS TODAY..ILL KEEP THIS TYPE OF COUNTRY ONLY UNTIL I DIE....
I saw the Hag two nights ago in Winchester, VA. It was my third time seeing Merle. His voice isn't quite what it once was, but he's still better than most all these country "stars" of today. He played this song and sure enough walked away without no curtain call. If you have the chance go see him while you still can.
Hag had the best, the most smoothest voice in Country Music for his entire career. There was no equal, as far as I'm concerned. I'll miss him, a classic for sure.
Watching Bonnie Owens in the background and she's in total awe of Merle. Imagine getting the show she got from him every night for all those years. I think he amazed her over and over again!
He is the best as far as total package goes- songwriting ability, voice, guitar ability, performance, and the band around him is second to none. To me, taken together, he is the best and in his prime I would put his voice in category of someone like Sinatra.
His voice was perfect in the late '60s, but the character it gained over the next four decades made it even more powerful. Damn, that guy was incredible.
It just amazes me, you look in every Merle video & Bonnie is always into it & smiling...she always has that look like there is no other place she'd rather be than singing behind Merle..What a great lady. btw. this song was off Merle's 1979 album "Serving 190 Proof".
Roly Tougas Well Roly, all my sources say "Serving 190 Proof" was released in May of 1979. If you have something that says different..I would love to check it out...
Did you know that "Today I Started Loving You Again" was about Bonnie Owens and Merle She was married to Merle and Buck Owens (not at the same time lol)
He is Indeed amazing, just can't stop listening to his songs, you seem to like his music alot, I can tell from your comment, he will be so glad to know that people are out there who cares and appreciate him so dearly....by the way nice meeting you on here, I hope you are having a wonderful time out there ???

Only Merle could Write Songs as inspiring as this 1. I Love it. Speaks volumes. Turn it up and reflect on his greatness. I learn a lot when I Listen to Deep Lyrics like this. God Bless you Bonnie and the boys. Proud of you all; we all are. Dream it and Be It. I think that's what the Hag did. Soon I'll see ya in Heaven our friend.
I WENT TO SEE HIM IN LAKE TAHOE IN 1982; AND HE SANG THIS SONG; GOD HE IS SO INCREDIBLE ONE OF THE BEST PERFORMERS EVER; AND HE IS FROM OKLAHOMA LIKE MY DAD

best Merle song ever. Heard this when I was 12 and have never questioned my love of good (aka old and actual country music, not rap and hip hop with a fake southern accent) ever again. This song cuts to the bone.

I wonder, if after he's gone, if the critics and "musical cognoscenti" will give him the proper accolades he has never gotten in his lifetime. The man is a GIANT in the country music pantheon.
The Hag was the perfect country singer. I was fortunate to see him twice in concert. Thanks Merle for the memories.
George Jones is considered king of country, but for me, It's always been Merle Haggard. I never tire of his mellow country voice. True country.
Hello how are you doing
Mr Merle was THE BEST EVER. Thankful His Son are Caring His Music & Their OWN. WE Listen to Mr Merle, Noel Lee, Ben every night since Nov 2021

Yes 'n God Blessed my family, for Merle and Johnny being our cousins! Amen!
David has to be in there.
What about david
@@jaybrown4857 David Allan Coe???
@@JMSTiger yes he's hard to beat. Idk if he's any better but he is sure up there
Started listening to Merle when I was 14, and haven't stopped yet, and I'll be 72 in 11 days!
Nothing like this coming out of Nashville now. Glad I can still see Merle on video
You can see Bonnie Owen's in the background just in awe of his vocal talent.
I don’t know that anyone else ever had that kinda range and ability to hang onto a note.
Loved him always❤️
Ain’t nothing coming out of Nashville like this anymore
He played for my kindergarten class in 1980 Altus Oklahoma
That’s an understatement
Sad part is there never will be again.
True.
Never will be again.
Damn I’m betting that just like myself there’s a lot of us 70’s babies that this song hit home to
Yes sir! 78’ here!
I'm 41 years old and I ain't got no place to go when it's over. Damn legend and legends will go on forever. RIP. You where country music.
I am old. And Sometimes I can hardly wait to get there for Jimmy, Momma, Merle, Johnny, John, Buck, Roy, Roy, and so many more that spelled out the word greatness.

I heard from a reliable source that he wrote this song with Red Simpson in mind. Pretty effing awesome
You know whether you like country music or not you have to admit he had the most terrific Voice and a great instrumentalist I've listened to Merle since I was seventeen years old and he's my favourite of all time. Sure going to miss him. There will never be another to take his place. You sure can relate.
i agree.
I can relate. I never seem to get enough of him.
You and me both. My favorite of all time. Absolutely loved his style and voice. Thank you Hag.
Absolutely!
there'll never be another
I’m not a regular country music person, so I don’t dare speak for anyone else , but this makes my eyes leak . Stupendous .
Merle sings some of the most heart wrenching songs you will ever hear
There's no way it gets any better than this. Love and miss ya Merle. R.I.P
that's for sure
You have it right Cody Simpson. The Great Hagg! If you do not love this you need to have a head check up! Gotta love Hagg. We all have to go sooner or latter. He sure had a super great run.
Misery and gin.. Kern River..
Don Williams was up therr
Simply the best
Thank you Merle for showing us what country music is all about.
Boy ain't that Bonnie sumthin...how many years she spent singing behind Merle & she Always looks like there's no place she'd rather be. God Bless her.
She never stopped loving and worshiping her special man Merle. They were so perfect together. He must have broken her heart many times but she was always there for him ❤️
Merle Haggard is the greatest country singing star that ever was. That's all there is to it.
Amen, brother.
Yea, there weren't none better.
Amen 👍
To me, there are a few. Cash, Williams.........that's about it.
GOAT...
Ah... Footlights, gotta be my all time favourite. Thank you Merle.
The perfect voice.
This man was a National Treasure. 🎼🖤
No is a national treasure
I love Bonnie's reaction at 3:00. She loved that guy. RIP
Merle Haggard was George Jones' favorite singer, and this was his favorite song. That speaks volumes in my book.

Merle Haggard's "strangers" were a classy set of musicians.
Amen to that!!
Absolutely!!
I never get tired of listening to Merle Haggard. Listen every night ! Thanks for allowing his bigest fan to listen!
I was lucky enough to see him do this song last year. I was in the front row. Greatest time of my life!

My hero ❤🇺🇸
Dear Merle Haggard you are sorely missed !
If i was dropped off on an island and i could only listen to one artist for the rest of my life..it would be ol hag!...hands down.
May your amazing music live forever!
AMEN!!
His music has helped me through a lot of hard times and hurts
Im 65 and have allways loved this wonderful music Keep singing merle.
what a legend,truly the best singer i have not only his guitar skills,but his voice was so rich....real country back then
Bonnie smiles at him through that entire song. She if anybody knew he was very special.
Can't help but think that Hoss, Hag and Patsy are making sweet music in heaven.
when this song came out , we all were like, man I dont think it can get better than this, then 35 yrs later today you go , man it sill dont get any better than this....true legend that set the stage so high only a few can walk that stage...WAYLON...HANK JR..GEORGE STRAIGHT...ALAN JACKSON...GEORGE JONES.. VERN GOSDIN..VINCE GILL.. THESE GUYS MADE COUNTRY MUSIC WHAT IT IS, NOT WHAT IT IS TODAY..ILL KEEP THIS TYPE OF COUNTRY ONLY UNTIL I DIE....
I think he sounds better live than in the studio, just dang awesome
Studios just don’t do the job. Live is always better . Swift has to use vocal correct tuning. Haggard never had to. He was Natural.
I saw the Hag two nights ago in Winchester, VA. It was my third time seeing Merle. His voice isn't quite what it once was, but he's still better than most all these country "stars" of today. He played this song and sure enough walked away without no curtain call. If you have the chance go see him while you still can.
Hag had the best, the most smoothest voice in Country Music for his entire career. There was no equal, as far as I'm concerned. I'll miss him, a classic for sure.
"Tonight we"ll kick the footlight out again..." oh how i love the Hag and his music... No one come close to this man.. RIP
Fantastic love this song from the brilliant merle one of the greatest singers thank you for this lovely post a legend
The TRUE King of country music.
We'll miss you. We loved you and we still do. You may not be with us anymore but your music will always stay.
And once again.....I'm here and this song still hits ❤..........let's go ❤
Merles girl 4EV 💯🌹🥰 I FELL FOR HIM AT 7 YRS YOUNG..I AM 56 NOW AND I LOVE EVERY SONG ...STILL NOW TO ETERNITY 🙂😍
@Davidholton0207 THUTH WINS LIES GET REWARDS ACCORDINGLY
New country music might be tired but it ain't haggard? Merle is the greatest of all time! RIP Hag!
Watching Bonnie Owens in the background and she's in total awe of Merle. Imagine getting the show she got from him every night for all those years. I think he amazed her over and over again!
Love. Love from her❤️
This show took place in 1987 at The Concord Pavilion in California. Merle WAS Country Soul.. R.I.P. Hag
He is the best as far as total package goes- songwriting ability, voice, guitar ability, performance, and the band around him is second to none. To me, taken together, he is the best and in his prime I would put his voice in category of someone like Sinatra.
I think Merle would agree with you but he'd also say, have you ever listened to Marty Robbins or heard his band live?
Without a doubt
His voice was perfect in the late '60s, but the character it gained over the next four decades made it even more powerful. Damn, that guy was incredible.
There's a guy still out there named Hank William's Jr!!!!
Russ Tabbert as much as I love Hank Jr, he’s not on Merle’s level..
Hide the age and make the stage. Amazing! And plus ive seen Hag twice. LEGEND
It just amazes me, you look in every Merle video & Bonnie is always into it & smiling...she always has that look like there is no other place she'd rather be than singing behind Merle..What a great lady. btw. this song was off Merle's 1979 album "Serving 190 Proof".
I believe "Serving 190 Proof" was released in 1988
Roly Tougas Well Roly, all my sources say "Serving 190 Proof" was released in May of 1979. If you have something that says different..I would love to check it out...
Roly Tougas Further research tells me you are indeed correct sir
Did you know that "Today I Started Loving You Again" was about Bonnie Owens and Merle She was married to Merle and Buck Owens (not at the same time lol)
Hagfan789 He always loved and needed Bonnie.

I WENT TO SEE HIM IN LAKE TAHOE IN 1982; AND HE SANG THIS SONG; GOD HE IS SO INCREDIBLE ONE OF THE BEST PERFORMERS EVER; AND HE IS FROM OKLAHOMA LIKE MY DAD
He was born in Oildale California.
He is Indeed amazing, just can't stop listening to his songs, you seem to like his music alot, I can tell from your comment, he will be so glad to know that people are out there who cares and appreciate him so dearly....by the way nice meeting you on here, I hope you are having a wonderful time out there ???
best Merle song ever. Heard this when I was 12 and have never questioned my love of good (aka old and actual country music, not rap and hip hop with a fake southern accent) ever again. This song cuts to the bone.
Love you Merle… you are missed everyday
Love u Merle heard u all my life
One of the best looking men in country music, look at him in his thirties. And a awesome singer
I heard Merle say in an interview that this was his favorite song he'd written. Since a year ago, it's my favorite too.
George Jones favorite Merle Haggard song. R.I.P George and Merle.
What can you say? Nothing but PURE COUNTRY MUSIC PERFECTION.
Never will there be another mighty Merle!!!!😝😭😭😭
Amen

I wonder, if after he's gone, if the critics and "musical cognoscenti" will give him the proper accolades he has never gotten in his lifetime.
The man is a GIANT in the country music pantheon.
+Adolph Oliver Bush He'll be regarded as the greatest of all time...I'm confident of this...
Terry Martin
That's refreshing. Such a huge footprint on the c/w landscape.
+Adolph Oliver Bush A giant of any music genre. One of the all time great singers and a great songwriter.
we'll see
He passed today. Think I'll spin some old Merle albums and remember him fondly.
