Marty Haggard performs a tribute to his dad Merle at Main Street Crossing. mainstreetxing MartyHaggard
Tomorrow, country music legend and Texas icon Willie Nelson turns 90. At this stage, he’s outlived most of his friends and contemporaries including Waylon Jennings, Johnny Paycheck, Ray Price, Buck Owens, Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard .
“But Willie takes better care of himself than people realize. I’ve actually jogged with him a few times, so did my dad. When he was at the top of his game, he’d get out there and play golf or run three, four, five miles a day. He was in good shape, and I guess it’s paying off for him!” “I had my own career for a while and doing pretty well focusing on my own music with one or two of dad’s songs. But since I left Nashville, country music has passed me by with what they’re doing right now.” Haggard says. “You need a young man with a pretty butt, and if those are the requirements, I ain’t got ‘em!”
But a serious car accident in which he had a head injury and suffered memory loss brought all that to a halt, and it took four years for him to recover. He finally released his first full length solo record,, in 1996, followed by three more. His last efforts were two cover song volumes titledthe stories of those songs. So, it hit me. I loved my dad, he passed away, and I wanted to start doing tribute shows to keep his music alive,” Haggard says.
In essence, there are Two Fathers who guide Marty Haggard’s life and career at this point. And if he can help people “get away from the hardships of life” for a couple of hours playing country music, that’s the best thing he can do with his time and talent. “It was from his perspective. In some of those stories, I had a different perspective. It’s like Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. They all told stories of their encounters with Jesus, but they were all from different perspectives about the same events. If you get four people watching a car accident, you’ll get four different stories,” Haggard says.
