Never heard of him until lately. Wow, what a singer that sounds a lot like Lefty and Merle. Hard to believe I've never know of him until lately.

Hi Wayne- Not sure who is playing in the video clips? In the late 70’s, my friend Jerry “Hambone” Cunningham played a lot of live shows with Kenny. Not sure who may recorded with him? Bone might have? Maybe someone will know? I agree with you.. he had the Haggard style. He was quite popular in the Dallas area.

Kenny had out a great album in the early 70's which included the great song,"Goodbye's Come Hard for Me". I am pretty sure it was the strangers on that album. Don't know about others. Got to meet him once at Pearl's in Ft Worth about 5 or 6 years ago.

He was Haggard's 1st cousin I believe.

Thanks everyone for contriuting to this post.

Hi George ! Good to hear from you. Kenny really was a good singer I didn't know he was family to Merle Haggard no wonder they were so close. Love his singing and the song are really good too. The early stuff really did sound like the strangers. Bet he had some good players when he was in Texas.

I would have liked to see him perform. He passed away only a few years ago.

Earl Briggs-What an honor to play for that many years with him. Must have have been some good times. Did you play steel for him or do you remember any names ?

Kenny's band The Messenger's are Merle Haggard's 'Strangers' ie Norm Hamlet steel, Roy Nichols & Merle Haggard lead guitars, Dennis Hromek bass, Biff Adam drums, Mark Yeary piano, Bobby Wayne rhythm guitar.

Exactly what I was told years ago and suspected that before anyone told me.

After doing a little research not sure about the cousin story. Hag said Kenny sounded like Left and himself before he did. As I recall the person who told me about him being a cousin seemed reliable but don't recall who that was. I may have read it somewhere back in the 70's.

I saw Kenny Serratt and Dennis Hromek both the same night at Pearl's in Ft Worth not too long before Kenny's passing. I was always a fan of his music selection and delivery.

Wow, great singer and just excellent steel work. I listened to a dozen or more songs and wish I had discovered him sooner. Earl Briggs was sounding great on those live cuts. Solid country music at it's finest. Makes my eyes tear up longing for the old days.
