My personal favorite vocalist and country artist, the inimitable Merle Haggard, live with the Strangers at the Ricochet Lounge in Ft. Myers, Florida on July 09th 1998. Merle Haggard has the ability to convey emotion and paint visual portraits through his music like nun other. Merle Haggard's vocals and phrasing are much like listening to a Miles Davis or John Coltrane. I think it would be safe to say that Merle Haggard would be in a top three favorite list of any country artist who has ever lived. Merle Haggard is an American Icon and Merle Haggard is a legend of his time. This is a video of Merle Haggard recorded live at the Ricochet Nightclub in Fort Myers, Florida.
