Two of the most powerful singers in country music both passed away on April 6th.
Merle Haggard was born on April 6th, and passed on this day in 2016 at the age of 79. Haggard was a Country outlaw whose Bakersfield sound bled straight into rock ’n’ roll DNA.
In 1998 Country queen Tammy Wynette passed on April 6th at age 55. Her influence on pop storytelling is still felt in modern country-rock crossovers.

"Mama Tried" is a song written and recorded by American #countryMusic artist #MerleHaggard and #TheStrangers. It was released in July 1968 as the first single and title track from the album #MamaTried. The song became one of the cornerstone songs of his career. It won the #GrammyHallOfFameAward in 1999, and was selected for preservation in the #NationalRecordingRegistry due to its "cultural, historic, or artistic significance" on March 23, 2016.

Merle Haggard & Willie Nelson, Poncho & Lefty, 1983 on Epic
Another Willie Nelson duet album, this one from 1983 with fellow “outlaw” Merle Haggard with title track from Townes Van Zandt.
Great collection of songs, including Nelson’s own “Opportunity to Cry,” the title track, and the pairing of “Reasons to Quit” with “No Reason to Quit.”
My copy—via Electric Fetus in Minneapolis MN—is a Columbia Carrollton pressing with “Poncho” on the jackets and labels (as opposed to “Pancho” which later releases were updated to).

A somewhat short but still very enjoyable live version of the classic Merle Haggard tune:
The Everly Brothers: Mama Tried (Ed Sullivan Show, February 28, 1971)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCVEbopu9DYThe Everly Brothers originally recorded the song for their 1968 country-rock album, ´"Roots", which is one of the high points of their career.
