Merlin Gene is an American country music singer-songwriter, and humorist known for his traditional country music,  and adding quirky, comedy style songs in between solid country music. Heartfelt ballads are included, in between toe-tapping, dashboard thumping road songs. Novelty songs reflect Merlin's humorous side, by allowing country music to adorn a number of funny, satire laced story songs. Pedal Steel Guitar is a necessary ingredient in each song, as well as twangy, edgy, Telecaster electric guitar.
