It's sad to see all these old guys go. RIP Mr. Haggard. You opened my eyes and ears to a whole world of music as a kid and for that I'll be forever grateful.

Listening to Swinging Doors right now. Will definitely raise a glass to old Hag when I get home.

Simply put, an icon of the genre. His voice was very unique.

Died on his birthday, and predicted he would do so a week ago. That's bold!

The ribbons of the land that keep me a knowing
There's always something new for me to see
A whistle in the wind then I'll be going
To live the way I live because I'm free
