The late Merle Haggard has had a long line of hit songs, and now we are able to hear the last song that he ever recorded. It's called "Kern River Blues", and it's about his memories of leaving Bakersfield, California in the late 1970s. This song is enough to put a smile on your face because you actually picture yourself there in the song. The song also features Merle's son, Ben on the electric guitar.

If you haven't herd it, the song is available on iTunes and at MerleHaggard.com.  Here is the cool thing about this song, 10% of each sale will go to homeless charities.
