Sad to hear of this distinguished country singer's death on the news this morning. He died from pneumonia on his 79th birthday. No doubt obits will follow in the Guardian, Telegraph and Times.

Merle Haggard was the quintessential country music singer and writer whose words and experience reflected the hopes and fears of the American south.

Haggard wrote songs, sang and played fiddle and guitar, usually singing about American pride, rebels and outlaws.
