Tom T. Hall Album: “Essential Tom T. Hall: Story Songs”

Nobody told a story in a song like Tom T. Hall. In the late '60s and '70s, you might hear "Week in a Country Jail," Homecoming, "Old Dogs, Children, '''", "Clayton Delaney," etc., on the radio. You sure to God won't now, and more's the pity. Anybody dumb enough to judge this singer based on "I like Beer," like my family did, is foolishly uninformed. 10 of these songs I've never heard before, but his reputation is rock solid and I'm buying, sight unseen. The one song of his I truly disliked--"That Song is Driving Me Crazy," isn't even on this album, so I'm banking on a winner, taking a sure thing. Nobody sounded like Tom T. Hall, either--unlike to-day, where everybody sounds like everybody else. Hall, Haggard, Cash, Twitty, Dave Dudley--you couldn't confuse them with anybody else, by voice, style of song they would record, etc.

20=+ years ago,I met Tom.T.Hall at a local event....what a super entertainer he is!His songs will go on and on and on Forever!

Tom T. Hall's music is wonderful to listen to for children of all ages. His manner of story telling is very informative and entertaing.

Tom Has been Around for a few years, His music is not to popular, but if you like listing to ballads and other kinds of music, then you came to the right person. His style of the ballads and the way that he puts the music together made him one of the best singers of ballads. I don't have any favorites I like most of all of the music that he sings. My first music that I heard from his was a cassette and I can't find that cassette anymore on CD anywhere. I don't know the name of the cassette but the music was the best that he has song in a whil

The CD is as good as I expected it to be, It arrived in good condition in less than the expected time. I do wonder why I bought an American country music CD from a supplier whose name implies that it is imported.
