Keith Richards on ‘Far Away Eyes’ (1978):
“I know Mick listens to, and used to, a lot of Merle Haggard from Bakersfield, California…When you think about it, he even sings Bakersfield in Far Away Eyes… I wonder why Bakersfield? I’ve got to ask him that. Maybe he don’t even know himself. It must go back to him listening to a lot of Merle Haggard.”
