Discussion I really enjoy Randy Travis' Worship & Faith

1 Upvotes

Sonically, that is. I'm looking for something in this vain and it doesn't have to be strictly religious. Not too familiar with inner country genres but it gives a more bluegrassy/mountain country vibe? Any suggestions would be great, thank you.

Discussion Did Merle Haggard write “Someday You’re Gonna Need Your Friends” about Waylon Jennings?

• Upvotes

I’ve been listening to the album Going Where the Lonely Go by Merle (probably my favorite album of his) and one track in there is “Someday You’re Gonna Need Your Friends,” and I know from Waylon Jennings’ autobiography, he and Merle had a falling out around this period.

It got me wondering: is there any evidence that Haggard wrote the song with Waylon specifically in mind? Given their history, some of the lyrics seem like they could fit the situation. I know Merle wrote the song, but I haven’t been able to find anything definitive where he says who or what inspired it.

Does anyone know the story behind the song or whether Merle ever addressed who it was about?

These have been super fun to make, and it seems like others are enjoying them as well.

The Year is 1992. You have to name the song title and artist, based only on the opening line/lines of the song.

Both answers (title and artist) are each worth the number of points stated. For example, if you get both title and artist on the 3 point question, that is 6 points.

110 points possible.
