Yesterday was definitely a sad day in the country music world as legend Merle Haggard passed away at the age of 79. Haggard's influence extends far beyond the country music world however, as evidenced by this fantastic tribute from rock band Mumford And Sons.

Last night at the band's show in Tulsa, Ok, Mumford And Sons broke into an incredible rendition of Merle Haggard's "Okie From Muskogee" and brought the house down!

Mumford And Sons will be at Zephyr Field in New Orleans this Sunday. Our sister station Planet Radio 105.1 has more information on the show and has free tickets if you want to try and win some.
