I have just come across this and I found it very sad and emotional to listen to,like so many people,I too, idolised this man,there is not a day,that I don’t dig out one of his songs,and repeatedly play it over,and over again-quite simply,there will never,ever,be another Merle Haggard-RIP
Merle Haggard was the best country singer in all of history. No one can touch him. I am happy that Merle ended up happy and content with his family. I love the guy.
I have seen Merle many times . I listen to him most days as he is my favorite country singer. He writes such good songs , telling great stories. RIP you had a great run, missed by many fans.
I stumbled upon this last night and was completely thrilled!. Merle has always been my favorite singer/songwriter--ever! I was so privileged to have seen him in concert five times and I'd go again tonight if I had the chance! I more than idolize this man. There will never be any person EVER that will ever sing or write songs like this man. I have a very large collection of almost every album I've come across. And a CD collection, as well. I love how Teresa loved this man and got him on the road to full recovery. And it's obvious he loved her! The best to his family!
I had tickets three or four times. Each one was canceled due to, “suddenly becoming ill” which of course is now documented as Merle having evaded his entourage’s watchful eye and found his way into a bar nearby the venue… I liked Merle’s music; I became aware of it because my dad played his records on the old KLH hifi But Merle was more than just a performer and I hate the term, “artist.” He was a communicator, music was his medium, and the lyrics were mostly frosting. Few over centuries have that gift. I won’t name those few, and they are not even all musicians. Merle was and is a unique person. Imagine him without the wild living and troubled youth.
The Hag and Waylon are 2 of my heroes and they are probably the 2 best country music singer song writers who ever lived. Both did it their own way and lived life full circle. I vividly remember their beginnings and their rise to superstars all while staying connected to their people and fans. I miss the hell outta them Both!!
@@TheBoomersdad In a different universe, those would’ve been some amazing duets. Funny though that Willie was friends with them both. Hell, he’s friends with everyone!
Give Mo Pitney a listen. He’s a new country artist with an Old School country sound. My All Time favorite country artist is Merle and Mo covers several Haggard song Quite well!! Search Farmers Daughter by Mo.
@TheBoomersdad he didn't like Merle because Merle won all his money gambling. I love Waylon also but it seemed like Waylon thought Merle should give it back. That's not how gambling works.
Well,I was going to listen to this over a 4 or 5 day period after seeing that this was a 4 and a half hour video. I then began listening to it and couldn't stop listening until it ended. Wow! What a life he lived!
I have a fond memory of meeting Merle I waited on him and his band, in Bakersfield California 😱 what a pleasure it was to meet him, he kissed my hand, and said you are one beautiful woman 😔 and I got a huge tip 😂 💵 💵 💵😅 this was so many years ago, but I cherish this memory 😇 🙏
It would be a pleasure and honor to meet you and kiss the hand that Merle kissed and remind you - you are one beautiful woman. Take care of yourself, take time for the Almighty, all our days are numbered.
Merle Hagger we will always love you you were the best singer in our whold i think your three boys are great they took after you the best we all. Miss you so much i hope to meat you in our next life love two. All of you Ramona❤
I can't help seeing the parallel similarity of Mr. Merle Haggard to another great country music icon favorite of mine, Mr. Waylon Jennings,.. But, Merle story brings me to tears, because his life in the early days is very similar to my own, I have experienced at the young age of 12yrs old, losing my father to last of four heart attacks at 50yrs old, on Christmas day 1976,... There was a lot of tragedy through out my life, he sang my life story,...I always will respect this man's life,...My father was from Kentucky,...and the song, ""If we make it through December"" just crumbles me,.. My daddie had came from Kentucky's tobbaco fields and coal mines, becoming parentless by the time he was 8yrs old, with no schooling, an that was half the start of his hard fight to live,...So,...yes, Mr. Merle Haggard, you sing with blessings in a better place and my dad has a front row seat, RIP my good friend,... Your true friend, Robert. 😪 🇺🇸
It’s so to comprehend how someone could go through all this in one lifetime. What a great biography of a awesome entertainer. Iv stood within probably 12 feet of Merle in the 90’s listening to the greatest singer songwriter who ever lived. Love and cherish and respect the music he has given. God Bless the Hag🙏
I sing many of Merles songs. Thank you for posting this autobiography of a great man, song writer, a poet, and world class entertainer. RIP Merle and continue to fly on those "Silver Wings".
i had the high honor of meeting Merle before a show one night. A relatively short man, even in his 70s you knew this guy had lived a life & seen a few things. One of the greatest American musical artists of the 20th century...
I have always loved Merle. He was unique. He has gone way up, to my No. I. Takes a man to come right out.. Tell the World. How much he loved his Mum. an Children. Rip Merle. Gone not Forgotten. For all the joy you gave us. Love every single song you wrote. Genius. Oh you are missed. 😢🇮🇪💚🍀🎶🎶
I have just literally come across this video. I will listen to it tomorrow. Thank you for uploading it. From Ireland. I spent the most enjoyable 4+ hours listening to the story of Merle Haggard. It was a very interesting, touching and sad in some parts. I love how he never lost his humble beginnings attitude. He didn't need granite counters and gold embellishments to prove he was a successful singer, writer and poet. I love when he painted the image of the house he grew up in. I felt so sad for the condition of the house when he went back to check it out. I absolutely agree with his sentiment, if you are poor you can still keep a clean and up kept home. Lack of money doesn't prevent you from having pride in your home. Laziness does. I felt his pain when he spoke about his baby being born sleeping. Our beautiful full term granddaughter was also born sleeping two days before her due date. That pain never goes away. This is one thing that I can't figure out. Why can people who really want to be parents, suffer the agony of not being able to get pregnant. Then there are too many women who get pregnant just standing next to a man (not literally but they are very fertile) and they bring babies into a life of misery. Merle lead a complicated life his music kept him moving. I really liked how kind he was about the wives who loved him and he never stopped loving them as friends. Once again thank you for uploading the book. I loved it.
I was painting at a Holiday in in Vero Beach fla. when Merle's wife Theresa stopped to bum a light after returning from the pool. She ended up talking for a minute and mentioned that id prolly want to meet her husband if I was a country music lover..She was right. 🎉
Merle did not hide his pain , in the mistakes he made in life, but you can hear he learned from them, he was up there among the great country singers, i don't think he fully realised just how much.
This was excellent! Man I miss Merle and Johnny and Waylon. These guys came from NOTHING to multimillionaires in their lifetime. Just great storytellers. Thanks for posting.
He was only a child full of hurt loneliness, his life is a beautiful story, I thought I knew whole lot but I learned a little bit with this and loves him even ❤more.
I have 2 Books About Mr Merle Haggard that I read 3 times in 10 months. I am now reading THE HAG. WE LOVE MR MERLE HAGGARD. WE DO. 10-11-2023 10:45am MABS
My favorite American music artist by a long shot. He wrote some of the best songs. He also lived reckless and hurt a lot of people.. I’ve heard from people that were close to him that he was rarely satisfied.
I can’t imagine the pain that Merle Haggard felt, as a kid, after his dad’s death. If he hadn’t went through that tragedy, he may not have become a legend. We never know why God puts us through trials and tribulations, but he always has a plan.
How can you say that God caused the trials that people endure when 1st John 4:8 says God is love and James 1:13 says God does not cause trials. Perhaps you are referring to the god written about at 2 Corinthians 4:4 and 1 John 5:19. The word god is a title that designates power and can be applied to anyone with power. In both verses in 1 John the word god refers to Satan not our creator.
like himself, I admire true love. True love, unlike MONEY or FAME, can not be bought and sold, stolen, blown away, or gambled with. May true love lives eternal, as it has been for him and his troubled and forgiven soul.
I never personally met Merle but loved his music. What a tumultuous life he led. In 1972 when I was 18 my best friend would work on lake Shasta where his uncle owned a resort where Merle spent a fair amount of time when he wasn’t on the road. Steve invited me up to stay for a few weeks that summer. Well one fine summer day Merle’s brother Lowell took steve and I on on Merle’s houseboat for the day. I don’t think I ever drank that much beer as I did that day since. we motored up the Pit River arm and all over the lake. He even took us to a cabin on the lake shore that Merle owned. That started a long love affair with the area and lake Shasta. My wife and I and kids spent many a summer boating and camping on lake Shasta. Rest in peace Merle. 🙏
I have read Merle Haggards “My House of Memories.” I have read it and reread it because wanted to know the man who had the most fabulous voice and musical writing talent. Amazing man. In the book I found man who cared for his children through all of 22:31 his tumultuous life. He was a raskle thru most most of it. But this autobiographica
Merle tells the worlds story of the pains and the struggle as a common man in a common family and the common struggle 98% of the world lives. First as a kid then as a boy then as a young adult then as a old man. Can change the names and the faces and the places but it’s the same common story that drags though time. I never made it to Prision but only by the grace of GOD!!! But his story iss my story with just a bit different twist. And I thank Merle and all that was apart of his life that helped tell the. Story. From Dust we come to dust we go but the story is just retold and retold….
Man I'd usually recommend reading a book but after listening to Merle narrats his life story I wouldn't recommend taking in this story any other way that by him telling you himself
I got to see Merle Haggard perform on a package show in 1984 with Ricky Skaggs, Hank Williams Jr. And Exile in Tallahassee, Florida. I was disappointed that country artists don't communicate with the fans except sing. I remember seeing his car pulling a trailer in 1965 going to perform at the Bonfire club near Dothan, Alabama. Merle haggard had did an interview on WAGF in Dothan, Alabama
17 years since California executed the last prisoner. Within this excellent story it was the story about “Rabbit” that is important outside of Merle’s life story. Being from IL it hits home. Where the incentive to stay out of trouble has been greatly weakened. A long list of new rights for criminals went into effect. Not one new right for the victims.
Aries are often born leaders, but better known as ultra-rebellious. This man WAS AN ARIES, down to his toes! In today's American society, its difficult to play by your own rules, but a few decades ago, this man sure as Hell did. He definitely paid his dues, and deserved all good things that came his way. It's sad overall, because truthfully, he only broke even.
It’s sad that the school didn’t see the reason for him skipping school, it’s obviously due to his father’s death. They still put kids in juvenile detention centers for attendance.
I have always admired Merle's gentle public persona and loved his songs; however, this memoir has caused me to like him a lot less than I imagined. He was just a no good turd, and if not for making it in music he would still be breaking into people's homes and stealing their cars. Heck, he probably would have found crack or shot methamphetamine into his veins if born in the twenty-first century. I should never have listened to this. They often say, "never meet your heroes" and this is why; they oftentimes disappoint.
I'm 65 yrs old from mississippi.my favorite forever.best voice in country music.i can relate to hag in more ways I care to think about.may he rest in peace .

Who's reading this? I don't think its Merle. edit.... Woah! It says right on the screen that its read by Merle. I still don't believe it.
It's Mearle and his memoirs
What do you mean? it's Merle talking you don't recognize his voice??
It sounds exactly like him.
I completely believe it is Merle
It says read by the Author. Who was the Author?
Wow
what else can you say?
Is this the entire book? It kinda ends abruptly... Just wondering.
