Discussion: Merle Haggard

To whom it may concern,
It's plain and simple, Merle truly is the common man's
poet and I love him and respect him more than anyone
in the business.
From:
Wasilla Alaska,
Your biggest fan Richard W. Nixon

>>By Richard Nixon



who wrote every fool has a rainbow

>>By scratch



A man who expressed his life in simple songs with so much of meaning that 's inspired the working man to know that when all's lost there is at least somebody to sing him back home.

>>By Sta



straight shootin'
balladeer

rich voice
&
gritty lyrics

"drink up and be somebody"
"mama tried"
"today i started loving you again"
"i never go around mirrors"

merle the pearl !!!

one of the pioneers
of the
'bakersfield sound'
(along with johnny cash & buck owens)

>>By Helmet



with Johnny Cash & Buck Owens *passing on* of late
this
leaves Merle Haggard as the last living testament to the
pioneering, groundbreaking "Bakersfield Sound".
if you love music
&
are not too emotionly stunted to listen to something outside of your realm
then
get yourself a Merle Haggard (& The Strangers) CD
&
let 'er rip.
