Well Luke Bryan seems to be well on his way to making up for his comments on outlaw country!

In an interview with Rumour Mill Luke commented on outlaw country by saying “I’m not an outlaw country singer… I don’t do cocaine and run around. So I’m not going to sing outlaw country.” Adding : “I think that people who want Merle, Willie and Waylon just need to buy Merle, Willie and Waylon.”

This caused quite a stir among fans, and after apologizing to Shooter Jennings for those comments, it seems like Luke isn’t done yet.

Merle Haggard’s son and guitar player Ben Haggard received a phonecall from Luke. The details of which he posted on his Instagram saying:

“Got a call from Nashville yesterday, picked up the phone and it was Luke Bryan. He called to personally apologize to me and the Haggard family for his comments in a recent interview. I have never spoken to Luke in my life, but one thing was for sure, the sincerity in his voice. Let’s all remember (including myself) we’re all humans, we make mistakes and say things we wish we hadn’t”
We’re not quite sure yet what Merle and Willie Nelson have to say on the matter… but if the trend continues, the Nelson family may be getting an apology soon too!
