I went to see Merle Haggard at the Ryman last night. At 72 and recovering from cancer, he still stood up for an hour and a half and sang, played the Tele and fiddle. It was a dang good show.
An interesting couple of notes: Hag has signed a duo called the Malpass Brothers (http:// www.malpassbrothers.com/blog/index.php/category/merle-haggard-tour/) who wear Pompadour hair styles and old style suits. They sing the old honky tonk / Bakersfield stuff like Merle, Faron Young, etc. They were great. A self described coonass, whose name I can't remember shredded "Can't You Hear Me Calling" on the Telecaster. It was a cajuney rockabilly take on it that was something else.
