I started listening to Merle back in the early 60s and for me HE is the All time Best. I'm sure he is in Heaven teaching Angels how to sing. There will never be another like him. I'm 65 now and I miss him.
So nice to get these facets of artists that aren't widely known. Thank you, Otis!
at first i was going ot question that merle isnt very well konwn but i realize i was being a dolt you mean the facets...lol....and i concur
Mo Pitney met Merle at The Marty Stuart show, North Star Studio on" Two Four Two Thousand Thirteen Four Forty Five, time and date". Mo & Don Sampson wrote a song about this titled "I met Merle Haggard today". Love hearing great stories. Thanks for your channel Otis.
He spoke poetry! I interviewed Merle when he did the Bob Wills tour and he was talking about being in solitary confinement for cooking up some moonshine. "So there I was, sitting in that little cell, with a guitar in one hand and a Bible in the other, and it was at that point I decided I was going to take my talents elsewhere." 😊 Merle was one of a kind.
Thank you Otis. This is at the top of all the gifts you have gave us.
Holy cow! Barry is a hoot!
That had to be a fun day of interviews!
Merle was definitely one of the greats... what a legacy
Thank you, Otis!
What a treasure to have an interview With Barry Mazor. Thank you Otis. 👍
You’ve done so many great interviews, and not to compare, but this one is beyond special.
Barry has an enthusiastic way of telling stories! He has good reason since he is able to dive deep into Merle Haggard’s musical philosophy and interests. I had no idea how deep the Hag’s interests ran. Thanks Barry and Otis!
God bless Hag and the folks that love him , pure AMERICANA MUSIC.
Like the preacher said at Merle haggard s funeral he had a truck load of talent and a great person and entertainer l love Merle haggard believe me
What a treat. The Jimmie Rodgers and Ralph Peer books are both great
I really enjoyed this....I'm a huge Merle fan, thanks Otis!
Wow, wow, thanks for this. To me, Merle is the best artist there ever was. To me Been playing his music since the 60s and will till I die
Thank you Otis and special thanks to Barry.
Fantastic, thanks Barry
This is tremendous.
Otis, you have a gem of a channel. I'm so happy to have recently discovered it. I grew up listening to my Fathers records. Mostly artists like Chet Adkins, Herb Alpert and the like. My favorite record of his was by Marty Robbins - 'Singing the Blues'. I grew up listening to stuff like Led Zeppelin and harder Rock n Roll as I got older, but always had an ear for country music as well. In 1982, I moved to Ft. Worth, Texas. That was in my drinking days, and my newly acquired Redneck Friends and I spent hours in little hole in the wall dive bars, drinking and listening to Hank, Merle George Jones, just every 'True' Country artist on the juke box. Got to see Hank Jr. at 'Billy-Bobs to the likes of Earl Thomas Connley and so many more. My love for traditional country music skyrocketed in the 10 years I lived there. Thank you so much for the insightful interviews. Now, not only do I know the songs, but some of the background and tales of these great men and woman of Country Music.
You really light up my day when you drop these.
One of your best interviews Otis. I loved it.
I love so many of them. Hard to pick my favorite, but Merle has a perfect voice. It's just that...perfect.
Great interview. Barry seems like a delightful guy. Thanks for sharing with us, Otis!
Merle always had a great band.
This is Gold! Otis way to let Barry go, what an enlightening piece. Thank you Both.
Kudos for this interview…. I so love a good story.
What a great batch of stories from a very well humored gent! Thanks yet again, Otis
Merle was the man. He was the real deal.
The man was an all round genius. The GOAT of country music.
More from Barry, please. He tells a heckuva great story!
Great report Otis! Thanks!
GREAT interview !!! Thanks for doing what you do.
My hope for this is one day BBC4 or PBS gets ahold of this and the world will also enjoy this as much as we do.
Barry lights up my room. Thanks Otis.
I can understand that statement Merle , same size as my cell but it moves. It never goes away once you’ve experienced it. We live it during the day and we live it in our dreams. Love ya Merle always will
I am from Muskogee OK and Merle was going to do a show in Muskogee at HatBox Field. Before I could get around to getting online to buy tickets, it had been announced that Merle had passed. I was so bummed out. I had only seen Merle one time in my life, which was in Tulsa, OK at the Hard rock about 6-9 months earlier. If a guy from Muskogee OK could have seen the guy that wrote "Okie form Muskogee" in Muskogee . . . THAT would have sealed the deal for me.
Blast. I was in Meridian on a Sunday to see my son off (he was stationed there) and didn’t get a chance to go to the Jimmie Rodgers museum. We did go to the park and see the locomotive there, though.
Barry is a hoot! Otis, you never cease to provide previously unknown insight into my heroes. Thank you.
wow great interview..thank you so much for your work Otis
What a great interview thank ya Otis you never fail to deliver
Very interesting insights on the Hag. Thanks Otis.

If Barry could just show a little more enthusiasm, he’d be a great interview.
Beautiful insights and messenger.
How Otis does not have at least a couple hour show on Outlaw Country or Willie's Roadhouse makes no damn sense.
Thanks Otis
Great stuff! Thank you Otis.
Yeah Barry's right on, nothing like Merle ...what a cat; a great scholar of music.and such songs "Sing Me Back Home ,Silver Wings ,Mama Tried..."wow So glad I was able to see him one time,even with the Chevy ads(sponsored the tour).You can see why him andWillie were buddies, folks with understanding of the great sweep of American music.
Great interview Otis
Damn. I love this channel.
U got right.
Bless you Men…thanks for sharing…

not that it matters but isnt the story Merle didnt finish HS and was given such hard jail time cuz hed been on parole for juvenile delinquency mostly truancy and gotten tossed out? only reason it matters is what an aamazing gem of an artist Merle became and his unlikely amazing story thanks Otis and Barry - SJOCR

I fell in love with Hag maybe 5 but I started picking at 4 but I played everything Hag had wrote ,I got to open for him twice! I'm friends with the Durham brothers and George Edmonds Edmonds so I have heard a lot of stories about my hero ! I wish sometimes just to relive that spot in time ! Anyway on the other side will have all the time I need thank you Heavenly Father for this !
I appreciate you and Merle
