Merle Haggard & His Wifeโs Impromptu โJacksonโ Duet Will Melt Your Heart
on Apr 17, 2017

Merle Haggard and his beautiful wife Theresa channeled Johnny Cash and June Carter, sweetly singing the iconic country duet โJackson.โ
While the wife of the legendary singer may never have recorded an album of her own, she more than carried her weight of the performance, delivering a stunning rendition of Carterโs portion of the duet. Clearly awe-struck by his wifeโs immense talent, Merle is all smiles throughout the duet, sweetly watching Theresa as she sings.
Merle and Theresa got married back in September of 1993, remaining together until his passing in 2016. Shortly after becoming married, Theresa gave birth to Ben and Janessa, making Merle a father to six talented children.
โJacksonโ was released by Johnny and June in 1967, going on to win a Grammy-Award for โBest Country & Wester Performance Duet, Trio or Group.โ
