Merle Haggard is one of our "Great American Poets" I shed tears when he passed.

I grew up with this old song. Sing it boys.

Absolutely incredible! The man is older than Mathusala here, and he steps up and just NAILS IT! Not a flat or sharp note in the bunch...his timing impeccable, and he even works the microphone distance like the amazing old pro he is. Merle Haggard is THE perfect country artist, IMO.

Well there you have folks. The Man, The Myth, The Legend. This was just too cool.

Merle is the working man's poet. I have a special reverence for him as at 73, I'm still installing septic systems in the country. After all - I have to support all those people on Welfare voting for Let's Go Brandon. Man can Marty pick. RIP Merle

If anyone in Nashville is watching, this is country music.

Pure class from five incredibly talented musicians. So glad to see Marty giving Clarence White's B bender telecaster plenty of work. It would have been tragic if it had ended up in a museum.

Merle is my favorite country singer and song writer of all time.....sing it Merle.....

Legendary voice...! So much respect coming from Marty to Merle. And Marty does a great job on backup. Not trying to overshadow the legend - just letting him sing. What a voice....! I've never heard nothing like it. There are a lot of great singers, but Merle has to be in the top 5 of anyone's list. He's sorely missed.

All of the 70s classic country music brings back so many great memories of me & my dad in the 70s. I was just a boy & me & my dad would go riding around on old COUNTRY back roads in Houston Co Alabama...1972 Chevy C-10 P/U...L.W.B...3spd on the column...no a/c...both windows rolled down...no p/s...8-track tape deck playing Waylon, Cash, Paycheck, Gene Watson, Tom T Hall, Gary Stewart, Loretta Lynn, Conway Twitty, Porter Wagoner, Ernest Tubb, Marty Robbins, Ronnie Milsap, Don Williams, George Jones, Tammy Wynette, Glen Campbell, Tanya Tucker, Bobby Bare, David Allan Coe, John Conlee, Charlie Daniels, Charlie Rich, Charley Pride, Lynn Anderson, Hoyt Axton, Buck Owens, Johnny Horton, Boxcar Willie, Faron Young, & I could go on & on about the great music I heard then & dearly love now!!! I can still remember my dad saying "country music just don't get any better than this!!!" My dad was right...MY DAD WAS RIGHT ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS...SURE WISH I'D LISTENED TO HIM MORE WHEN I WAS YOUNGER!!! AND I SURE DO MISS HIM...A LOT MORE NOW!!! JUST GREAT MEMORIES!!!

Love it! Haggard still has it, and Marty is keeping real country music alive.

Some rocking country music here. Wont ever hear stuff this good again

Absolutely magnificent, Merle should have had Marty with him on the road.

Nobody picks a guitar like Marty, I could listen to him all day everyday

I always wondered what it would sound like having the late Clarence White play lead guitar for Merle. This is the closest it could get and is absolutely great!👍👍

Marty is one hell of a picker. GREAT! Thanks.

This was a GREAT show. I really miss it.

the amazing hag and Marty Stuart are two of the most legendary player, singer performers ever to walk the face of this gorgeous Earth...love it..

If you can make 1% of the impact that Merle did then you've had a damn good life.

R I P Merle Haggard your the Best Country singer Ever!!!!!!

just cant stop playing it!! It's too damn short guys!!!!! Marty WHAT a delicious solo!!! and I can't think of a more authoritative voice than Merle to sing it! It's way cool......

This is special and should be treasured.

No one else like Merle.

Killer Country right there! From two legends 🤩🍺

Kenny's shoes need a show of their own.

Love everything by Merle Haggard and Working Man Blues is one of my favorites.

Love this song..he was such a beautiful singer so so long ago❤️❤️.. love me some Merle

The man walked his talk, don't know how old he was here, but he was still working and so are a lot of others thanks to his legacy.

Love his voice!!!!! Who doesn't??!!!!

Merle was as fine of a poet/story teller that ever existed. Pure Americana.

One of the best American songs ever.

I'm sure glad some one is keeping real country music alive.

Saw Merle live last year.....I'd gladly pay for those seats again if he came around tomorrow! Marty is great live also!

I'm 55 and still singing those working man blues

Merle looked quite happy with Marty's break. In fact, yeah great stuff. This is something that only tele Gods James Burton or Redd Volkaert can pull off, the right way. mos60

These old legends still beat the modern youngsters 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Two of the greatest right there!

Really just an amazing performance.

When I was a kid I didn’t need rock n roll because of Merle Haggard.
