Thanks for the show folks, Australia here, 70 YO, great fan...never tire of the Haggard music..."Mama's Hungry Eyes," often gets a run.. cheers to you all..enjoyed every minute.
I thoroughly enjoyed this interview with Marty Haggard, he is so humble,& genuine. It is so “touching “ to hear his admiration for his dad coming through his voice when he speaks of him. May GOD continue to BLESS Marty, his family,& gift of music. 🙏🏼 ✝️🎚👍🏼 ♥️♥️♥️♥️
What a beautiful soul, I love that he is just a good ol' country boy.....bless him. I love that he said on a show once that he and his Grandmother were very close and both had a love for Jesus. That's very apparent, God Bless Flossie Mae Haggard!
Loved listening to every second of this....Thank you so much, Marty Haggard...I Met you @ Redmond, Oregon. Deschutes County Fair Hag Concert a couple of times....Love you all !! ...Between 1982 through the years...
Marty is so “down to earth “! I love to hear him sing ( and tell stories) . He looks so much like his dad, and sounds much like him, BUT, Marty has his own style 👍🏼♥️ AWESOME❗️👏👏👏🙏🏼🙏🏼♥️
There are so many interesting stories from Marty that I have never heard before. His children should get together and write a book. Would love to see a movie of Merle Haggards' life as well. Hopefully a true story and not changed to enhance the movie because I don't think that would be necessary. He had a very interesting life without embellishing the details. It would have to be as long as "Gone With the Wind" because he had a very full life. I have followed Merle Haggard for years and love his singing. I listen to his videos/concerts on U-tube and have been following his sons for awhile now.
Wow I'm surprise there are not more people commenting on this interview. Marty has some stories that even the most die hard Merle Haggard fans don't know about. I'm honored to say I was one of those few fans that got to meet Merle and Marty both just briefly in 1977 at the door of Merle's bus. I spoke with Marty for about 10 minutes till he introduced me to his dad. I was in the Marines at the time and I asked Marty to ask his dad about writing another song like Muskogee or Fighten side. I said I know he's got people bugging him all the time and said well Dad's had a few attempts on his life. Marty then said why don't you ask him your self, so he called out ..hey Dad and dad said ya, Marty said would you come here for a minute I have somebody I want you to meet. So Merle came to the door of the bus and I attempted to ask him, when all of a sudden some band members interrupted us. So I just stepped back. Marty says to me..sorry about that. We chatted some more and off I went into see the show. There is more to the story but that's it for now. OK some time has passed now, it is now Jan 2023 and I'm trying to recall a memory from 1977. From the beginning I went to see Merle and Marty Robbins in San Bernardino, California. I was standing outback where Merle had his busses parked, and I saw this young guy walking from the band bus to Merle's bus so I said excuse me but are you Merle Haggards son, he said ya, my name is Marty. I said I thought so you look like him. I told him my name and said I am a Sergent in the Marines right now and he said Oh I was in the marines once so we chatted. He said my dad wanted to serve but he couldn't because he got into a little bit of trouble (we all know about that story?. I said to Marty, could you ask him if he might consider witting another song like Muskogee or fightin side, considering the condition of this country right now? He said well dad did write that song called "Jesus take ahold. " Marty commented about a time he picked up a hitchhiker and the guy shot him. No more picking up strangers for me again he said. Marty then said well you better head inside so you don't miss the Show. So I did and about half way through Merle's show he paused and asked the audience if anyone had any requests , I knew everyone would yell out all at once so I waited til there was a moment of silence and I yelled out FIGHTIN SIDE. Merle looked over to see who it was and saw me. "He said yes I was talking to this young marine out back... so here is a song dedicated to the marines, its called the fightin side of me but lets not have no fightin." Ok there my complete story. Tare care friends. Marty and his dad both believed in the Lord Jesus Christ as do I so I will see them in heaven. How bout yall? John 3:16
Thanks for sharing, Ronald. Very cool! I feel that had I been a little wiser during my years in Bakersfield (basically all the 80s) I would have enjoyed seeing some live performances!! Thank Goodness for videos, ay?
MARTY, ,, I refer to myself was computer illiterate so give yourself some kind credit. You are a super swell I individual . Love all the Haggard family
👍🥛🥛Glad Marty got REAL MILK🙏As a kid I thought it was the rich kids who didn't have to have milk cows😁I wonder if Marty ever drinks powdered milk for old time sake 🥛I enjoy Marty's stories and music ❤️
To me, no comparison between Merle and Johnny Cash. Merle Haggard is #1 in my opinion.........Willie #2. Your dad had a VERY unusual personality that made up almost 100% of his success. Mostly, it was just plain HIS VOICE!!
@@stabilt11 he is doing well and is coming out with his own music “Home Again”… plus sings his dads songs as well… Whey Jennings also has an amazing voice…
Marty and all of the others sons of Merle basically do their own thing. I do not know Scott and have never met him. The reason we had Marty on our TV show, he was the ONLY son of Merle's that was with him on the road when his dad wrote and recorded all of that great music.
I've heard Merle say many times in interviews that he wrote Today I started loving you again for Bonnie Owen's. Marty has some great stories to tell but I think he has that one wrong.
Bonnie was the inspiration for the song as Merle always wrote song pertinent to his everyday life experiences. But at first, he wanted Marty Robbins to record it.
I loved hearing Marty say his Dad went from the jail house to the moon. My grandson and I were talking about Merle not to long ago.and I told him. Merle literally went from the big house to the white House.
She's WRONG! You are not the "spitting image" of your dad, but your singing voice is very much like his. You do look a lot like him, but not as much as Donna said...........who's Donna? If you took glasses off and put a cowboy hat on you would look more like him.
I'm wondering if Scottie is close with you and your siblings familys. To me he's the one that looks most like your dad. Not voice tho - just looks........ I feel bad for him that he had to PROVE he was Merle's son!! That is preposterous/cruel!!
Yawns...... . I get some saying they are not smart, and I respect that ... a lot even, but wtf is the point? harry and megan could learn a lot from Marty. Perhaps we could do a swap and have Marty as an honoury member of the royal family in the UK We need to clean up the blood stock a little.

He looks just like his Dad& I love him singing We all miss The hag Good ole Merle one of the first
I really enjoyed your interview with Marty Haggard on December 6th, 2023! He looks a lot like his dad!

If I remember, you were selling programs,,, :) You were so kind......Loved our visit..
Always great to listen to Marty. Have seen him live 4 times since 2016. Last time March 2021. Wonderful man.
Warms my heart to hear the love he has for his dad. Great interview, thank you
"Hopefully it'll be a whole lot like Heaven". Marty that sounds like a Smash Hit. Write it down!

Delightful. Marty is very enjoyable to listen to.
Agree and Marty is a Great Guy!!

Marty is quite the story teller, and so thankful that he is. Marty was a great singer himself, I wish he would have made it in the business.

Wow. Lucky You. Was Marty Nice?
@@margaretsharbono2218 I am betting that Marty was VERY NICE 😊
Precious ❤️
Marty i. Love you and your brothers .your A
That was what made Merle the king. His immense talent and love of music combined with the bearings of a star. His only equal is Dolly Parton.
Shout out to Marty Haggard
Marty looks alot like his grandfather. I saw picture of his grandfather.
The glasses and face.
MARTY, ,, I refer to myself was computer illiterate so give yourself some kind credit. You are a super swell I individual . Love all the Haggard family
I hear that, Marty… I was raised up poor too….
👍🥛🥛Glad Marty got REAL MILK🙏As a kid I thought it was the rich kids who didn't have to have milk cows😁I wonder if Marty ever drinks powdered milk for old time sake 🥛I enjoy Marty's stories and music ❤️
To me, no comparison between Merle and Johnny Cash. Merle Haggard is #1 in my opinion.........Willie #2. Your dad had a VERY unusual personality that made up almost 100% of his success. Mostly, it was just plain HIS VOICE!!
What's the ages of merles 4 sons?
I'm guessing here Phil, but Marty the oldest is about 62, Noel 57, Scott 53, Benny 28
whwn was this interview done..
Dec. 9, 2020
Do you know, Scott Haggard???
Not personally.know who he is, but never met him.
@@stabilt11 he is doing well and is coming out with his own music “Home Again”… plus sings his dads songs as well… Whey Jennings also has an amazing voice…
whhy dont we see more of scott haggard.
Marty and all of the others sons of Merle basically do their own thing. I do not know Scott and have never met him. The reason we had Marty on our TV show, he was the ONLY son of Merle's that was with him on the road when his dad wrote and recorded all of that great music.
@@arrowstreamtv 👏🙏🏼♥️
Marty you and your brothers should do TH-cam videos, stories and jams, you can make money doing that
👎🏼. He does great SOLO ❗️♥️
I've heard Merle say many times in interviews that he wrote Today I started loving you again for Bonnie Owen's. Marty has some great stories to tell but I think he has that one wrong.
Bonnie was the inspiration for the song as Merle always wrote song pertinent to his everyday life experiences. But at first, he wanted Marty Robbins to record it.
Was Merle really hurt that much as an adult, or did he do most of the hurting?? This is a very important question...........please answer.........
I loved hearing Marty say his Dad went from the jail house to the moon. My grandson and I were talking about Merle not to long ago.and I told him. Merle literally went from the big house to the white House.
She's WRONG! You are not the "spitting image" of your dad, but your singing voice is very much like his. You do look a lot like him, but not as much as Donna said...........who's Donna? If you took glasses off and put a cowboy hat on you would look more like him.
Donna is friends with Marty and his wife Tessa.
I'm wondering if Scottie is close with you and your siblings familys. To me he's the one that looks most like your dad. Not voice tho - just looks........ I feel bad for him that he had to PROVE he was Merle's son!! That is preposterous/cruel!!
Yawns...... .
I get some saying they are not smart, and I respect that ... a lot even, but wtf is the point?
harry and megan could learn a lot from Marty. Perhaps we could do a swap and have Marty as an honoury member of the royal family in the UK
We need to clean up the blood stock a little.
Glenn Campbell was a waste . Phoenix was the only thing that made him...........
Bitter and negative are you?
sure looks like his dad... great interview..
Seen him in my home town a super show would like to see him again
@@fayerichard3965 awesome I saw his dad in 1984 in Vancouver B.C. I remember him wearing red sneakers lol
I love all the Haggard brothers including Scott Haggard!!!
@@gigirobbin5340 they are all great musicians
@@ThePoobears yes, I love and enjoy each one of the Haggard brothers!! Thanks to Merle he left behind a wonderful legacy!
