I’ve always liked Merle for his blunt honesty, and I still do. He also wrote and performed a host of great songs whose emotional range far surpasses most of the cookie-cutter crap that today passes for “country” music on the radio. And no true country artist ever phrased a song as well.

I heard him flat out tell Art Bell he had never been in prison, what he had heard and read was only PR hype. Blunt enough for me.
