Tom T. Hall passes
Bluegrass and country music legend Tom T. Hall passed away at his home in Franklin, TN on Friday, August 20th. He was born in Olive Hill, Kentucky in 1936.
Known as “The Storyteller” for his ability to turn real life stories into song, he leaves a legacy of songs that are happy, sad, funny, moving, thought-provoking, and always full of humanity. Among his best-known were Old Dogs, Children, and Watermelon Wine, The Year That Clayton Delaney Died, A Week in a Country Jail, and I Love, all #1 songs on the Billboard country chart. His first #1 song as a songwriter was Jeannie C. Riley’s Harper Valley P.T.A. in 1968. By then Tom T. was already recording hit songs of his own, his first being 1967’s I Washed My Face in the Morning Dew.
Along the way, Tom T. was a DJ, actor, farmer, and philosopher, as well as a successful writer of prose, having published several books, fiction and non-fiction.
