  • This song, from Tom T. Hall's 1973 album "Rhymer and Other Five and Dimers" was never released as a single. The song was written by songwriting legend Billy Joe Shaver and has been covered by several other country artists including Shaver himself, Waylon Jennings, Emmylou Harris and Jerry Jeff Walker. It could be argued, but Tom T. Hall's vocal style probably suits this song best.
    Vocals: Tom T. Hall
    Words & Music: Billy Joe Shaver
    Original Album: Rhymers and Other Five and Dimers (Mercury Records - 1973)

    I've never met Tom T. Hall, I went to every show he did in our area, but I never met the man. I don't think my dad ever met him either, so it's absolutely mind boggling to me how he got him portrayed in this song every time I hear it I see him in my mind. I miss him lots.

    When Tom T. lost his wife it destroyed him is my belief. Suicide at 85 is so sad!

      Having seen emphysema in real life in 2 grandfathers, I am certain it was the emphysema that was the final straw. One of the most hideous diseases or illness one can have, even worse than cancer.

    Tom T. Hall is the man. However.....Jerry Jeff's version is the definitive. This rendering is a bit too slow.

  • @pellenorr697
    @pellenorr697 Рік тому

    Tom T. is the man. However, his version is too slow....almost tired. Jerry Jeff rocks it the way it should be. Just one guy's opinion.
