Tom T Hall - Sings Miss Dixie & Tom T.

Tom T. and his wife Dixie Hall have been named six time songwriter(s) of the year. In 2007 they have released an album Tom T. Hall Sings Miss Dixie & Tom T.

As the Halls are fans of 'live acoustic' recording with warmth and feel, the Fox Hollow sessions were done in three days with by far the larger majority of musicians present and picking at the same time. Only the ever busy Isaacs, Earl Scruggs, Josh Williams and Don Rigsby were added later.

Jimmy Martin already had his Life Story number 'in the can' shortly before he passed away. It was an outstanding and endearing live cut in which the 'King' drew on his amazing reserve of legendary strength.
 
On their songwriting efforts the Halls unhesitatingly point out A Hero In Harlan which is not a war protest song but about a young man from Harlan, Kentucky. He went through life pretty much as a failure until after being turned down for a job in the coal mine he joined the army only to be shipped home in a long silver casket. Now he’ll be a hero in Harlan ... this week.

Musicians appearing were: Tom T. Hall (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Kristin Scott Benson (banjo), Wayne Benson (mandolin), Robert Bowlin (rhythm guitar, pickin’ dobro), Rebecca Isaacs Bowman (background vocals) , Mike Bub (bass), Glen Duncan (fiddle), Terry Eldrege (rhythm guitar, fried chicken), Ben Isaacs (bass), Sonya Isaacs (background vocals), Randy Kohrs (resonator guitar), Jimmy Martin (Yodel, G-run guitar), Don Rigsby (background vocals), Earl Scruggs (banjo), Josh Williams (background vocals), Tim White (banjo)
