Merle Ronald Haggard was an endless wellspring of musical and literary talent. One of Country's greatest guitarists, an accomplished fiddler, a peerless singer, Merle was also one of the most gifted authentic composers and lyricists in the genre, a true genius with a multiplicity of styles infusing his many differing compositions. And, as he showed me one evening as we traveled his bus, he could do absolutely the finest musical impressions ever rendered in County Music. His Marty Robbins impersonation was so flawless, so spot-on in voice, tonality, range, fluidity, phrasing, and accent that if you closed your eyes you could not distinguish it from the original. Marty himself, was shocked when he first heard Merle do him. Merle was a GIANT in entertainment, as big or bigger in Country than even Elvis was in Rock 'n Roll and popular music. It is an emptier world with Merle no longer in it. He is terribly missed.

Will Ruha : Sir. Your comment about Merle being an excellent composer jogged my memory. Hears' some real trivia for you. Around 30yrs ago, I happened to be listening to one of my favorite radio shows, a local talk-radio show. They interviewed "Whipering Bill" Anderson. He was a prolific song writer (which I did not know), Anderson wrote for all types of musicians, from Sinatra to the Rolling Stones (or some other rock group). ABSOLUTELY AMAZING !

Yep, when he was young...he couldn't be touched. Pure, raw talent, the man had no voice training...and to be able to sing like that...amazing to say the least. The first time that I saw him perform, I believe I was around 8 years old, he's been my favorite singer ever since...was in '69, so I'm guessing that he was around 30. Sad to hear that he's lost that wonderful voice that he had back then...oh well, we still have video of him.

There will never again be so monumental a figure in the history of Country music as Merle Haggard. GIfted with a beautiful singing voice, he graced his vocal talent with amazing guitar work and truly poetic lyricism matched to wondrous melodies as the best songwriter in his field, and to top it all off, he is peerless and impeccable as a musical impressionist. Wake up world! Appreciate this giant while he is with us!
