Merle named his son after Marty Robbins!
He is a very talented musician also. He has three sons that are in music, Marty, Ben, and Noel. All three are fantastic. Ben did alot of guitar work on the Django and Jimmy album.
Kinda makes you wonder, what country singers are going to be remembered with the respect and admiration of Marty Robbins Merle Haggard Johnny Cash, Conway Twitty, Hank Snow, etc in lets say 50 years?
