This always makes me think of my dad…I love it! Posting in 2024…peace and love to you all!

Hard to believe yet another legendary storyteller of country has passed away.

A living legend. The people in this audience that are walking around like there's nothing better to do while this old guy plays haven't got a clue what is being played out on stage right here with Tom. "I'd give a hundred dollars" to be sitting in this audience. No, I'd give a lot more than that. This man's music deserves top notch respect.

Legend of country music. Rest in peace, storyteller.

His passing brought me here. Godspeed Tom my friend.

All of our great country legends are passing on with no new ones stepping in. Today's country is not very good. Will miss greats like Tom T RIP.

Tom T. Hall died at age 85 on 8-20-21. This song charted about 50 years ago at this time. I had the privilege of meeting him at a fair in 1985. Helluva nice guy. RIP, Storyteller!

One of a kind Legend!! He may be gone, but his great music will NEVER die... TY TTH

You go mr. Tom T. You’re one of the best country western music Phenomenon’s. You made an impact on all country music. Tom T. Hall is right there with some of the greatest. Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Buck Owens and let’s not forget who he influenced Dwight Yokum. So many stars. So Tom T Hall was the person that in fluenced many musicians

About a week before this concert, my wife asked me which living artist I'd most like to see play live. It took about 3 seconds to decide on Tom T. Hall. A day or two later she decided to look to see if he was performing anywhere, and found that this tribute show was going on just a few days later! I made some emergency changes to my schedule at work and we were off to the show! It was a wonderful, intimate concert with my favorite songwriter. Discovered Eric Brace & Peter Cooper that night too!

I love this song. A lot of meaning

I’ll remember the year That Tom T Hall died Nobody ever new it But I went out on the woods And I cried I know there is a lot of big preachers Who know a lot more than I do Could be that the good lord Likes a little guitar pick’n to

It was a sad day indeed !

Tom T. Hall, one of the greatest entertainers and song writers of all time. I was very privileged to have met T. in Waco, Texas at the Heart Of Texas Rodeo. I sat with him in his bus and we talked as if we had known each other for years. He was very down to earth, wasn't stuck up. I asked him the origin about some of those songs he sang and wrote, and his reply was, " Personal experience.

50 years of great songs !! Who will fill their shoes ???

My uncle use to sing this song Tom T Hall was his favourite RIP uncle ❤and RIP Tom T Hall thank you for beautiful music god bless ❤🙏you

My father died when I was nine.. this song was on the radio at that time and got me through and I found my passion for playing music. I have been a Tom T. Hall fan ever since.

RIP Tom T Hall. Thanks for the music

2021. The year Tom T. Hall died. We're losing too many country music legends.

One of my greatest regrets… never saw this man. Love him. Thanks for posting this.

just beautiful...just beautiful

I was privileged to see Tom live in Madison, WI many years ago. Must have been in the mid-late 70's. He put on a great show. He is truly someone who cares about people. At least that's how he comes across in the way he talks to you from the stage. He is an all around great entertainer. I once read he couldn't get anybody famous to sing his early songs so he decided, NUTS! I don't sing so good but I'll sing them myself anyway. I think he sings just fine. Beats all that screaming modern music.

what great singer and song writer

Know that's, an entertainer!

Tears come to me when I hear Tom T.''s voice. It is so moving and full of compassion for his fellow man. He can't be replaced!

RIP Thank you so much for your stories and music. You are a legend.

Love this mans music

A genius.

Fantastic.

R.I.P. Tom T. , I'm going to continue playing and teaching your songs to younger musicians and the story telling that you were the master of. 👏👍🤠✝️🙏

Makes me think of some my old friends

One of the greatest 3 chord storytelling songs ever written. I think just about every musician can relate in one way or another to this story. It touches my heart.

My heart still hurts!

It's sad that we didn't have a few more years for TTH to further ripen vocally the songs he wrote. These renditions that are so much more moving than the originals.

what a pro, fanastic

The man is a treasure,part of the American soundtrack...

Sadly no longtime with us hearing tom t is heartwarming

My daughters account but I was friends with a guy who lived in Pembroke Ontario who could do this song to a T, Mr Keith Jones, RIP Keith, anytime he was jamming and I came along he would always play, The Year Clayton Delaney Died

Tom T Hall is one of the best. This one of my favorite all time songs. I love your pickin'! Thanks so much for posting.

What can you say about Tom T except thank you for your talent sir. It seems our country has forgotten the good in people and can only dwell on the hate from our past. Story tellers like Tom T are needed more than ever. He now knows how all this ends, but we still have to endure till our end comes. RIP.

That is so sad. They obviously did not know how lucky they are. They probably went back to their truck and played some Toby Keith. I'm a punk rocker and you'd have to drag me while I was kicking and screaming to get me to leave the room.

RIP Tom T Hall

RIP Tom T.

Love to hear the stories.

Saw him in Casteblaney. True gentleman. Forever alive. Pinto.

The word greatness is over used, but not with this musical genius. If you haven’t, please do yourself, family and friends the honor of exposing yourselves to this man’s genius, which I hope gives just a little solace.

My favorite Tom T. Hall song.

Great find. Love this guy.

RIP Tom T! We miss you and your great songs!

RIP old friend. 🙏🏻

Perfect don't ya think!!!!!!!

This is my favorite song

I wish all my best singer, song writing folks weren't dead.

Not one of you have mentioned Olive Hill KY where he was from and learned his craft. My mom was born and raised there. And that's where you get true country music. Home

It mar me really sad when I heard he took his own life. He will always be a true legend!!!

God bless both of them

Tom T. Hall, a consummate storyteller, song writer. I loved this song so much, also old dogs, children, and watermelon wine...and many more. Sorry you felt you had to go cuz it really hurt this fan. May God give you rest...

He was one of my favorite artists in the 1970's when I was just a kid. He had so many great songs. My favorite was "I Love". I had that single on a 45 and wore it out. So sad he took his own life. I hope he realized how many people he touched with his music and songwriting talent.

RIP Musicman

God bless you Tom t .......

He's been on my mind the last day or so, had no idea that he'd died this week. Spooky.

What a great song! I so prefer this version to the released single back in the day. This version is just so pure and simple and beautiful and heartfelt with only his voice and the guitar accompaniment. The older version seems, in comparison, over orchestrated and (to me) the trumpet playing takes away from the beauty and clarity of Hall's wonderful voice. What a poet and master of lyric! And the fact that he is now a much older man gives the underlying themes of mortality and the passing of time and youth so poignant.

I love Selena she was beautiful and a great singer her music was fantastic her band awesome rest in peace honey!

Rusty loved this song❤

I NOW 84 MISS OL' TOM GREATLY...& I TRULY LOVE THIS CREATION OF HIS...TOUCHED ME A LOT...

With utmost respect to your opinion and Mr. Hall whom I have been a fan of for over 45 years. Hank Williams is in a category of his own. There is no comparison to anyone living or that has passed on with Hank Williams. In any musical field or style. Hank stands alone as the greatest. Just my humble, but long lived and informed opinion. Love Tom T Hall, he is special. Again with utmost respect, Sgt. Mullins
