Great interview. Sure do miss this legend. Rest In Peace Merle. Your music lives on ❤️🎶🎤🎸💫😘

I miss Merle Haggard...

I went to see Merle at the Fillmore in San Francisco. I didn't have a ticket so I waited about 6 hours before show time . 1995 Sat out side on a cold and rainy San Francisco day. 2 hours later his 2 buses show up and sits there idling. I brought my "Sing me back home book with me, about an hour later this nice elderly lady ask me if I wanted to come on the bus so Merle could sign my book. I went on the bus, and was invited in where Merle, the boy and Bonnie Owens were sitting around going over the play list, smoking tons cigarettes, and singing old songs. I got to sit around a play some fiddle, and some guitars with him and the boys, total great time. After that ended Merle slipped me 2 tickets, and told me to keep my mouth shut. Great show!

Merle Haggard is one of my greatest heroes if not the best of all time around country music. My list goes from number 1, Jesus Christ, number 2, Merle Haggard. Because with out God, there wouldn't be Merle and there wouldn't be us to be here to enjoy Merle singing. So I thank God for giving us Merle Haggard in our generation. Rest in Peace my friend, hope to see you in Heaven someday soon.

Yes RIP the greatest entertainer ever.......

Merle was so so proud of his son

R.I.P. Merle .....your legacy will live on ...thanks ...

HE IS A LEGEND IN HIS TIME LOVE LORD BELSS HIS BEAUTIFUL LITTLE HEART!!!

What a great singer, Song writer and wonderful man. Merle Haggard. Love the voice, the songs and the story and feeling he puts into every song. From struggling youth, to getting back on track, fighting every bad moment, to come out as one of the greatest, finest singers of all time.

Amazing. To hear him on the phone like he was talking to you. Best Country music singer ever. It's not even close!

He is my favorite and very special singer will always be.

Wonderful interview ♥️❗️👏👏👏

Merle will ALWAYS BE my favorite musical artist of ALL TIME!! And that statement is coming from an old man with the MOST diverse taste in music I've ever known! I mean...my favorites range from ...ACDC to Dean Martin!! But the Hag is THEE MAN!!!

One of the greatest RIP Merle

What a great man I love this man what a singer song writer ever I just wish I could have seen him one last time. Good job kicks a great Singer song writer in your own right.

💜I love him too but I love all the country singers for each one has their own unique style of singing and character.They are all very special and our LORD created all of them too for HIS pleasure and to give us pleasure too.I pray GOD's blessings on all and their families and the people in this world.🙏😇💜🎵💙

Such perfectionists with song writing, singer words sound of his music, from were I'm viewing listening to Merle Haggard's

What a legend this is the best we miss you Hag c knight

He was always over of my favorite singers. And his sons are just as good. I miss the old country. They don't make them like him and Johnny Cash. Willie George and Loretta Lynn. They need to bring back the old time singing. Stop the new country.

Love Merle!! Sweet interview!

I really miss Merle,

This is so awesome! Thanks!

Great! RIP Merle.

I absolutely love this

Man, Kix is one hell of an interviewer. Always keeps the dialog moving but yet respecting the artist. Thanks for what you have done as an artist and songwriter, but also thank you for providing us with an insight to the music world with interviews with new and legendary artists. "If I had a horse, I'd ride off in the sunset. If I had wings, I'd fly off in the sky so blue. If I had the time, I'd spend my whole life dreaming. But I'd wakeup, still in love with you"...As an amateur songwriter, I always compare my songs to these lyrics. Thanks for the inspiration

His Stranger bands were always among the best road bands

R.i.P Merle

Mix Brooks talking to Merle Haggard…..wow!

Sad day when Merle haggard died 😘🙏🥲

Merle Haggard is one HELLVA MUSICIAN. Not only does he sing songs he wrote he is very tallented in more than the guitar. He plays violin Harmonica and can imitate other great singers. He is a once in a life time and he really is a ledgen. RIP MEREL
