According to Whitey Morgan (and the '78s). He may be right. I heard a live act do this same bit just Friday, although they weren't hipsters. Whitey does it better though.
Mild language warning for those of you watching this from an office, just at the beginning when he's talking about the hipsters of East Nashville. After that, it's just a solid rendition of "Swinging Doors."
I would have preferred that Merle Haggard stuck only with Western Swing. He chose not to. But when he did play in Western Swing style, he did it very well. Merle was also a very good fiddle player. Merle Haggard had his own style,whether it was in style or out of style. Take it or leave it, he told us.
ReplyDeleteThere are some pretty good remakes of Merle songs on Tulare Dust- A Songwriters Tribute to Merle Haggard
ReplyDeleteWell, I never stopped liking Merle Haggard.
