I remember when it first came out listening to it at the bar. Great for crying in my beer. 😊

American country singer Merle Haggard left behind a legacy that forever changed country music. Merle Haggard was a devout Christian, stating “It’s almost embarrassing to know that the Lord cares that much for me, but I’m going to shout it to the world.” Much like his late friend Johnny Cash, Haggard was no saint.

She has a voice that enhances every song she has ever accompanied, without withstanding her quality as as a solo singer

Not in a million. I grew up on Haggard and a small part of me died with the day he parted this mortal plan. It’s odd how someone whom you’ve never met can have a direct affect on a persons life. Merles songs resonated with my soul

What a great words in that song,if there is someone who fills lonely ,sad unwanted,broken,come to Jesus,and at his feet you will fall apart

May Almighty God bless you Merle. Thank you for all the joy you gave me. May you rest in peace. From Ireland 🇮🇪

What a combination, Merle Haggard and Janie Fricke. They complimented each other like no other two singers I have ever heard.

As a kid, I can remember listening to this on the radio when it first came out and I was so moved, almost to tears. And of course part of that was because of the way “The Hag” could almost transport you into a song for those 2-3 minutes in that absolutely masterful way. BUT ADDITIONALLY, The ONE AND ONLY Miss Janie Frickie, was(and still is) also an ABSOLUTE MASTER in the way she could add to songs, and to this day I don’t think she EVER got enough credit (outside the Nashville community) for how she helped so many songs SORE TO #1, because of the sound she helped create. And this song is one of my ALL TIME FAVORITES!

To get thrown into San Quentin for non-violent convictions and prior escapes, and then to come out of prison and redeem himself to become an accomplished writer, singer, instrumentalist, and performer. Hag was a real country legend. It's hard getting used to Merle and the Strangers not coming around and doing a show every year.

These older country singers could really sing some touching and beautiful sentiments about love. Sometimes when men are younger it is rough to see if they have a heart at the time, but sure enough they do. We need more country singers with these old-time feelings. It really pulls it out of you.
