DEF: Merle Haggard and George Jones “Yesterday’s Wine”
In 1982, country superstars Merle Haggard and George Jones came together to record a duet of Willie Nelson’s early 1970s’ tune “Yesterday’s Wine.” Exactly 35 years ago, Haggard and Jones’ version climbed to the top of Billboard‘s Hot Country Singles chart for a one-week reign. To commemorate that anniversary, “Yesterday’s Wine” by Merle Haggard and George Jones is today’s Daily Eighties Flashback.
