Sadly we lost Merle Haggard earlier today, aged 79. There's all too few of the greats left, I guess we'll be mourning Willie next.

Very sad news, saw him in Ipswich in thd 70's. He was my first country artist I followed and have loved his music ever since...Strange how you feel a great sense of loss, when you only knew some one through their music....RIP Merle.

THE GOOD TIMES ARE REALLY OVER FOR GOOD, WE'LL NEVER SEE HIS LIKES AGAIN. RIP.

Merle, George Jones and Ray Price were THE voices of country music in the 20th century. Most steel players on this forum will have played a Haggard number at some time in their lives.

RIP Merle.
