I've been loving your daddy's music for 50 years Ben! Goddamn this is the about the Third time I've ever heard you sing this song let alone any others, you doing a great job on this song your dad would be proud!

I’ve been listening to country music for over 40 years. This young man is the real deal. This is how country music is supposed to sound. He needs a record deal ASAP. He has his dad’s voice with a subtle uniqueness. Love hearing him sing the Hags songs and would love to hear his originals. Keep it coming.

MERLE , would be so very proud of his youngest son .Ben has a wonderful voice a lovely singer. What a great tribute to his late dad .Thank you Ben , RIP MERLE .Elizabeth Perth Scotland ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Oh man this guy can sing. Not a country fan myself (husband is fanatical about country) but listen to this young man always.

Ben, your father was extremely proud of you. He passed his gift on to you. Take care of it.

I have no doubt that Merle Haggard is up there in heaven smiling and saying," That's my boy". What a great voice. Just like his daddy. Keep up the awesome work Ben Haggard.

He is awesome. He picked up where his dad left off.

Only one word to describe this version. Awesome.

Absolutely spot on Ben very talented keep it up please

HE HAS SUCH A GREAT VOICE!

How can 19 people not dig this its classic country sung classic country

I love this song! Sounds so much like his Dad!

Absolutely beautiful! He has such a wonderful voice. I am sure your Dad was very proud of you. Look forward to hearing more from Ben Haggard.

Thanks a lot Ben, for bringing your dads music alive,

Sounds just like his Father God Bless Him. I like to see him in concert.

Great job Ben. Keep those songs alive (please ). Thanks.

I never thought I would EVER find someone I would rather hear sing than Merle Haggard . . . Until now! Good job Ben. I feel better knowing you can take your daddy's song and make it your own!

It's almost scary how much you sound like your dad. I play a lot of your dads stuff in my shows. It's amazing how talented you are. Well done.

The awesome talent passed onto his sons and I'm grateful.

I admire his Passion for music & he's so Awesome at singing

I don't know what to say I just don't know what to say so much like his dad chills you to the Bone

Has to be my favourite all time Song!! God Bless Merle!

I love the swinging arrangement and that Ben sang it in his own (soon to be critically acclaimed) voice. Hell, I've trying to sing it like Merle for 20 years 'cause no one wants to hear it in my voice, lol.

Wow Ben you are so very talented,i look forward to listening to you for.. many years. God bless

Sing it little buddy, I want every cd you put out. Looooove it.God Bless always.

So now everyone is able to see that Merle your Dad will live on in the songs he left us and we all have the added bonus of hearing you and your brothers carry on with your Dad's songs and also the ones we have not heard from the three of you in your own special way's can't wait!!

I have played your song (and other music) on repeat. Natural talent, beyond words. Beautiful vocals, control and so soothing. Absolutely addicted. I have high respect for your talent and genuineness.

Your daddy sure passed his awesome voice to you ♥️

Ben, by the time you are in your late thirties you will sound exactly like your great dad. You have the same sound but not quite as deep as his was. We saw him in the late 60's in Virginia and he put on a great show! His voice wasn't as deep as it was in his later years. Love the Haggard's!

Finally! Someone that is young with a good voice that can actually sing. What's that old saying about apples not falling too far from the tree. HMMM

Your Daddy would be so proud of you. You did this song pretty much prefect!! Keep up the great Music you were raised on!!

You sound a whole lot like you dad! Please keep the music coming like Mererl did. You have the talent for it!!l!

Great Ben. I'm sure your dad is very proud of your talent. Great voice .please keep this music alive

That boy's got the gift, for sure.

Love his voice✨🎶

U bring my heart to life , me like u I did my dad's songs that he recorded in early 60's

Truly enjoy this classic hit song. So glad got see you and brother and the band. All did fantastic job 100%. Two thumbs up. Awesome song.

Absolutely wonderful job singing this song, I wouldn't have thought anybody could ever do this song any justice doing a remake on it and you just did! I'm very impressed!

WOW !! Never heard him sing before,,,,,,, carry on son, we'll buy your recordings !! Doesn't hurt you've got a special talent and superb band to help lift the load.

Good job Ben haggard I’m sure your dad is still very proud of you and looking down smiling

Ben Keeping The Sound Alive

Man this kid is good! He is really talented! I like his version of this song. Like the fiddle in the second verse. I don't think the original has that? I hope he stays with it and makes it on his own! Good luck Ben! And keep it country PLEASE!

I just love this Ben. You are fantastic..

I have such HIGH hopes for country music listenn to you tonight Ben,,your Dad s green Album was out on 8 track when I was round 4 years old and that whole album is deep into my childhood and bloodlines music life that it brings me to tears to here you do your Dad s songs so well,,,,God Bless ya sir and keep it up,,,GREAT stuff,,,really proud of you I am and I know your Daddy is as well man,,Cheerzzz

Wow what a voice like a gift I thoroughly enjoyed your singing Ben you got it

I grew up going to see his dad in concert in Huntsville Alabama now his son's follow in his foot steps good job carry on

You got an amazing voice and I know it isn't always easy stepping in daddy's footsteps...keep at it, you got what it takes.

Ben sounds really good! Keep on, may be as good as your Dad some day! Love it!

Ben this is the first time I have heard you. What an amazing voice and clarity. The best gift a father could give..He would be so proud of you,, God bless you

Pure Talent right there

He is awesome!!!, I have listen to all the sons and by far has the best voice, he has volume and depth. Can't wait for him t have his first album. Maybe Marty Stuart or Vince gill can produce him

There will never be another Merle, EVER! His children have good voices but will never, ever get close to the Greatest!

Hey Ben I seen you play with your dad in 2012 in St Petersburg Florida,, downtown and one of his last concerts, I remember seeing you in the far back left, and taking over when your dad had to sit down,, keep climbing been Scott..

Wonderful voice

A great entertainer. In his own right
