This is awesome. I mean, Haggard got his inspiration after Cash's concert at San Quentin. And then Cash sang one of Merle's songs. Just wow :')

@haasd0gg are you stupid? Johnny cash and Merle haggard sang this song before the grateful dead were even a band. So it's grateful dead that did the cover.

It was really hard to make good music back when Johnny was still among us. People devoted their lives and talent to creating some decent songs, some songs (like this one) became legendary hits. And then Johnny would come, take any song and sing it million times better than the original performer. After you've heard Johnny Cash cover a song, the original tune didn't seem that good.
