Many singers and songwriters around the world are mourning the loss of Merle Haggard. Nashville is full of artists that are pouring our their feelings and memories of The Hag. 

One tribute in particular has been recorded by Bruce Robison, an Austin-based Texas country music singer-songwriter and his singer-songwriter wife Kelly Willis. You've probably heard of Kelly's voice as she appeared in the 1991 Ridley Scott-produced movie Thelma and Louise, singing "Little Honey." Robison has written #1 hit songs for the Dixie Chicks, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, and George Strait.

Texas’ favorite country duo  were in the recording studio when they heard that Haggard had passed. Since they were in the studio, they decided to do this tribute to the country great. Wideopencountry.com captured  the video and we thought we would pass it on.
