Merle Haggard's close friend and fellow musician, the country singer-songwriter, was killed in a tragic incident at the Kern River in California. The incident occurred in 1970 when Haggard was deeply affected by the loss. This event inspired Haggard to write songs reflecting on the themes of loss and the fragility of life.
