An incredible night of music at the Tivoli Theater in Chattanooga, Tn on February 13, 2013.  There wasn't a second that Merle, at a young age of 75, didn't make it very obvious that he is the best  American country music singer, guitarist, instrumentalist, and songwriter. Along with Buck Owens, Haggard and his band The Strangers helped create the Bakersfield Sound, which is characterized by the unique twang of Fender Telecaster guitars, vocal harmonies, and a rough edge not heard on the more polished Nashville Sound recordings of the same era.
