    RIP, Merle Haggard. You were a legend in country music and will be sorely missed.

    Probably one of Don's favorite country artists. Not only did he duet on Cass County, he chose one of Merle's songs, "Silver Wings," for his playlist broadcast on the BBC.

    My husband especially loved Merle. He was heartbroken to hear of his passing last night. He bought one of his albums when he was just a kid and we recently downloaded some of his songs, Mama Tried, Silver Wings, Okie From Muskogee, I'm a Lonesome Fugitive, White Line Fever, etc. Brought back lots of memories.

    I watched an interview with him with Dan Rather a while back which was really good. And I'm so glad Don got to have him on his album. The Cost of Living in one of my favorites from it.

    So sad to see a true country legend go. There's not a lot of real country stars out there.
    People talking about us they got nothing else to do. When it all comes down we will still come through in the long run.

    RIP. I'm so glad Don had the opportunity to record with him before it was too late.

    I agree Soda, particularly as The Cost of Living is probably my favourite duet on the album. I think it was fantastic that Don got to him to sing on his country record.

    I also agree that this has been a bad year for music so far. We have lost a lot of bona fide legends who made very different styles of music over the last 3-4 months.

    Rolling Stone has given Merle Haggard a cover.

    They can do it when they wish to do so.
