Tom T Hall is unquestionably one of the most influential figures in modern country composing. Along with a handful of others he has transformed the artform.

On this 50 recording box set, Storyteller, Poet, Philosopher there is clear evidence of how he has embraced the simplicity and poignancy of country songwriting, before lifting it to new levels of insight and expression

Tom T Hall calls his songs simply 'tales of ordinary people doing extraordinary things.' But these tales have stood the test of time, and are still stunning listening experiences. ~ Robert K Oermann
