I'm 82...been a Merle fan about 60 years....saw many concerts, met him an Bonnie..took pictures with them ..got a lot of Hag items autographed..got to go backstage at a local concert...I'm old now...but I still have my Merle memories...miss him...
You are very fortunate to have those memories. I'm nearly 60 and right behind you. It sucks to get old but his music comforts. I think his youngest son sounds the best
There's nothing like sharing great art with the artist. The day will come when you will hear Merle perform live again. Hank, Johnny, and Lefty will be there too.
What a legacy! I'm pretty much speechless. I grew up listening to Merle and so many other great artists from all genres of music but as so many others have said: music is music no matter what you call it and brings us all together as human beings. Thanks for sharing this tribute. Merle, you won't be forgotten.
The best about my favorite, Merle, is his sons are carrying his music on. They are each very special and have that “that sound”. Makes me cry. I hope they have an idea of how loved they are.
I cried listening to "Mama's Hungry Eyes" sang by Marty. Merle Haggard had touched many people's lives with his songs about the different struggles in life that most people experience up to this day. Thank you for sharing this tribute.
I'm listening to this in N. Ireland, I have loved listening to country music most of my life and I am 79 this year, I am sitting listing to this show and I wish I could have been there, just fantastic, loved playing Merles music, thank you, Richard.

Howdy y'all: Marty Haggard said it all. REAL Country music is dying out!! I was raised on the REAL stuff, and I miss it terribly. This rock n roll crap they try to pass off as Country music these days makes me sick. Putting in a steel guitar or a mandolin in a song, DOES NOT make it Country music. Just my $0.02. Stoney
Close your eyes when Ben sings, he sounds EXACTLY like Merle, he is an example of how country music has changed. Ben should be a SUPERSTAR! I absolutely love his voice! He can pick too!
Daryl Singletary sounds just like Merle. Country music lost a great legend when Merle died, and lost a future legend when Daryl died. Rest in peace Gentleman.
Ben omg you sound just like your dad when he your age, thank you for carrying on your dad tradition youngman I love it,god bless you and your brothers,
Burrow miss you, buddy oh how we miss you I love you singing. I still love to sing your songs. If you are not father I would have found you an angel flying to close you. Do you know that he did it?
I thought that i was fortunate enough to see Merle in my hometown. That was not to be. Merle canceled due to back problems and he never rescheduled. Breaks my heart still
18:43 … When Anderson says, “somebody write that down” I think he meant- as an industry-connected fixture- that THAT was a great opening line of a song. I think it was a suggestion! I haven’t heard anything that suggests anyone took him up on it….
Marty haggard your our 2nd cousin , my sister dolly trees has a photo of your dad on her car along with our uncle and a friend he said one day he would be one of the biggest singers and song writers in the world,
😮 5:18 happy birthday, my man they don’t make love like they used to. They don’t make more like they did before we’re gonna take Willie so, send him your way. Maybe you’ll play
My goodness I so hate to see the writing on the wall and that reads “Highway Men brace yourself because I won’t be long getting home with you. I am leaving country quality behind. I will tell you all about it soon!!
As many times I’ve seen the Hag in concert and my playlist on my phone consist of over 40 songs I would pay good money to see Ben Marty Noah in concert just doing nothing but hag songs…

Amazing merle will never be forgotten a true country legend RIP Merle.xx
I regret never getting to go to one of his shows. I have always loved his music.
All country singers are singing country in heaven
❤😊
His son's are good singers too.
Ben has that beautiful relaxed style of voice that put merle at the top of country singers
For sure ht. I think he sings better than the other 3 sons. Plays guitar better as well but Marty is the richest.
Marty sounds just like his daddy! LOVE it and loved Merle! My former TV boss Chester Smith was Merle's best friend.
What a blessing that had to be
I could listen to these tributes to Merle every day!! His sons are incredible, they are awesome! I love Merle Haggard! ❤️
I’m so happy to see this .
I'm glad Country Family Reunion put this on . John Conlee is great singing Merle Haggard songs.

Merle Hagard always was and always will be my favorite singer.

I couldn’t agree more! 😢
Alan Jackson still does
Merle was one of the greatest…saw him,George,and Conway in concert together what a concert
That would be the ultimate concert. All three of my favorites
I love all old country singers
Awesome ❤️🩹👌👌
I love this singer a lot
Close your eyes when Ben sings, he sounds EXACTLY like Merle, he is an example of how country music has changed. Ben should be a SUPERSTAR! I absolutely love his voice! He can pick too!
became a fan of The Hag after reading his story in Time magazine. Loved the picture of him with one of his model railroad sets
One of my all time favorites! Saw him in concert in Charleston SC back in '75 or '76. Wish I could have seen his show a few more times.
Today's country music cannot hold a candle to this!
Love the music 🎶
Marty Haggard did a song called “Here In The After Life” fantastic song!
Love this keep his music alive
We got to see the great Merle Haggard at the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas about a year or so before he passed. We will never forget it.
Love this.
Daryl Singletary sounds just like Merle. Country music lost a great legend when Merle died, and lost a future legend when Daryl died. Rest in peace Gentleman.
I love all of merle haggard songs
Awesome
