Bob Dylan cronies Phil Ochs and David Blue both caught on to Haggard early, covering his songs and praising his songwriting. Here's David Blue with Mama Tried https://youtu.be/S-rRJrnsEVc And, as with Ochs and his "tribute" to Haggard, one of my favorite eras of David Blue, and again, it was Blue trying something different, Country & Western singer-songwriter style work, and using his "real" name again, S. David Cohen. And of course, again, R.I.P. Merle Haggard.
