When music legend, Merle Haggard, passed away April 7, 2017, which was coincidently his birthday (April 6, 1937), friends and fans were left shocked. Ever since his passing, his family continues to grieve.

Over the past year, Ben Haggard has been earning praise for his stellar song covers shared through his social media pages. A rendition of “Amazing Grace” has become the latest cover to go viral.

The classic hymn gets a country edge with Haggard’s deep and powerful voice. In a time when politics have many Americans feeling divided, the slow and reflective take on the tune becomes especially emotional.
