Country music legend Merle Haggard has passed on. He was one of the best country singers and also a great guitar and fiddle player. Another one of the old legends gone
His songs made us proud to be from where we're from. Not overrated, underappreciated and perhaps even further ahead of his time than originally thoght. R.I.P. Mr. Haggard.
A man I have seen/heard many (but not nearly enough) times; live on the east coast and travelled to Bakersfield many years ago on NYE to see him 2 nights back to back at Buck Owen's Crystal Palace. Saw him in NY as an opener for Dylan! Too many others to even recall by now. Only other great I have seen more than Mighty Merle is Dylan. I love the man and his music. Sad to hear of his death. Sad.
