We lost a great one today. I've shared before that country music was the music of my childhood. Merle Haggard was one of the icons of that childhood. His influence on me continued long after I left country music behind. He was an outlaw.
I also shared about going to see him with my parents at the Saddle Rack in San Jose and the wonderful memory that it was.
I used this song as part of my dad's memorial video. He loved Merle Haggard and he loved this song and listening to it reminds me of him these days. I miss my dad.
I love this version. Rest in peace, Merle.
