I played this every night for my dying mother in Nov 2020; she had vascular dementia and was lost to us mentally in her final days. Merle singing this brought her back to us for brief moments each time. For that Merle, you deserve eternal love and respect. RIP to mam n Merle....2 of the greatest people of the 20th century.

What a blessing and precious memories. I turned a young 60 in June of last year (soon to be 61). When I was living in my home town in my late teens and early twenties, I was listening to the greatest country music ever. I had a crush on this ruggedly handsome man, too. LOL I have many of his CD's in my collection among other country greats. I've been in Atlanta for almost 30 years, and have a few co-workers who recognize the best of the best. For those who throw stones at Merle Haggard's mistakes, read his story on Wikipedia. He didn't have a perfect life, and furthermore, in 1972, he received an official pardon from future President Regan, who was then Governor of California and released from prison with all past crimes erased, some of which were not of his own individual involvement.

Many years ago I wouldnt listen to Merle Haggard because ,being a hippie of the 1960’s , I was offended by the lyrics to Okie from Muskogee. Fast forward 40 years- and thanks to KZfaq , I now realize just how remarkable a lyricist, guitar player, and singer he truly was. Everytime I hear this song, it brings tears to my eyes. And watching and listening to him over the years, I agree with one of the posters that he peaked in his later years. Approaching 70 myself, there is a wisdom and perspective that comes with age. Thats why I have grown to love Merle and much of country music which i scorned in my youth.

Take their cue from the man politely. Called The. Hag. What he. Sang Fast became a hit. Yet he preferred to live in California. Where he could Write his songs without being Disturbed.

Slowing the tempo gives this lovely song the pathos it deserves. I came to appreciate Merle relatively late, as I am more a folk and folk-rock fan. When I first heard him sing "Misery and Gin" I was shocked at the silkiness of his voice. He can sing ballads with the best - with Sinatra, Bennett, etc. This is my favorite, along with "Think About a Lullaby."

and the lyrics are awful. A criminal is walking to death row, but he tries to find peace in his own death, right before he dies. He realizes in the last minutes how his life should have and could have been different! so sad. So awful. But the criminal made his choice. Now its death row. Wonderful rendition, love Merle so much.
