You can hear Merle in all 3 of his sons. Wow. Gave me chills. All 3 have awesome voices.
Merle Haggard’s youngest son, Ben Haggard, has paid tribute to his late father in many ways since his passing in 2016. One of his most memorable tributes was a performance of his father’s classic song “Sing Me Back Home.”
“Sing Me Back Home” is a poignant ballad that tells the story of a man on death row who asks a fellow inmate to sing him one last song before he is executed. The song is a beautiful tribute to the power of music and its ability to bring comfort in even the most dire of circumstances.
In his tribute performance, Ben Haggard stayed true to his father’s timeless sound, delivering a heartfelt and emotional rendition of the song. His clear, soulful voice and expert guitar playing paid tribute to his father’s musical legacy while adding his own personal touch to the song.
The performance was a powerful reminder of the enduring impact of Merle Haggard’s music, and a testament to the bond between father and son. Ben’s tribute was a fitting way to honor his father’s legacy, and to remind fans of the power of great country music to touch hearts and bring comfort in even the darkest of times.
