Review

If you hear Tom T. Hall's name and immediately think of "Old Dogs, Children, and Watermelon Wine" or "Harper Valley P.T.A.," this box set will be a revelation. The overview may begin with "Old Dogs," but it quickly turns to his keenest, most enduring work. Hall is the Raymond Carver of country songwriters: like no one before or since, he writes vignettes that are at once incredibly sad and funny, acute in detail, deep in common, human wisdom. Focusing on his strongest and frequently overlooked material, this overview is a tribute to Hall the narrative craftsman, the journalist of the interiors and exteriors of country life. "Harper Valley P.T.A." might not be here, but the memorable stories are: "I Flew over Our House Last Night," "Spokane Motel Blues," "I Washed My Face in the Morning Dew," and what just might be his finest tale, "I Hope It Rains at My Funeral." From his great satirical work to his honest love songs, all are rendered in an inimitable, true colloquial voice. --Roy Kasten
