Tom T. Hall - Old Five and Dimers Like Me

Музыка

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.

    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.
