Merle Haggard was the greatest country singer in the world and always will be rest in peace Merle love from a very big big fan from Scotland

Without question, Merle was the GREATEST all-around country music artist/talent to ever walk the face of the Earth. Period. Singer, songwriter, musician, band leader, impressionist. It's a race for SECOND place. Because there's Merle.....and then there's EVERYBODY else.

@David Owen You think you have regrets. I'm pushing sixty and spent most of my life listening to rock music, buying into the stereotype that Country Music was all about crying in your 🍺 and your woman leaving you for another guy (okay, into my thirties anyhow). I just started getting into Country big-time in the past few years and Merle Haggard this year. Boy, I missed out on a lot!
