On what would’ve been Merle Haggard’s birthday, Cody Johnson is tipping his hat in a pretty meaningful way.
He just dropped his take on “Footlights,” one of Merle’s most honest songs about life on the road and everything that comes with it. Cody shared that Haggard’s music has been the soundtrack to his life, and this felt like the right way to honor him.
It’s not overdone or flashy… just a straightforward, respectful version that leans into the weight of the song.
Take a listen below and see what you think.
