One of my favorite singers of all time is Tom T. Hall. I think one of the first songs I learned was Sneaky Snake! A childlike song about a snake who likes root beer.
If you have never heard the melancholy tale of The Homecoming you have done yourself a disservice. Never listened to the wisdom of Old Dogs, Children, and Watermelon Wine then you are poorer as a compassionate human.
If you have never enjoyed the simple message of I Love then you are indeed prone to being cynical. The bluesgrassy Fox On The Run is alone worthy of anyone's admiration!
I'd rather put this version of Homecoming by the legend himself than a version that is superior sounding but with a video of a jerkoff posing for the camera.
Tom T. Hall is a storyteller in music. His voice is warm, gentle, and wise. There aren't many artists who can match his resume or longevity in the business. Tom T. Hall is a legend and deserving to be in the Man Hall of Fame!
