Just in time for Tom T. Hall's 75th birthday, producers Peter Cooper and Eric Brace produced a gem of an album by assembling a stellar cast to record anew Tom T.'s renowned 1974 children's album, Songs of Fox Hollow.

A special concert in honor of Tom T. included performances by Bobby Bare, Patty Griffin, Buddy Miller, Duane Eddy, Tommy Cash, Jim Lauderdale, Peter Cooper, Eric Brace & Last Train Home, Gary Bennett, Jon Byrd, Mark & Mike, The Wrights, Fayssoux Starling McLean, Mike Bub, and even Tom T. Hall. The event included a short video from the recording sessions for I Love at Tom T. and Dixie's Fox Hollow farm and studio last summer, and an interview with the Storyteller himself.

Says Miss Dixie: "No matter what our genre alliance may be, we were all kids once, and it is impossible not to be touched yet again by this magical collection."

Interview with Jack Wright

Interview with Jack Wright on "All Things Considered" on NPR Radio


The Lonesome Pine Office on Youth announces the release of the two-CD set “Music of Coal: Mining Songs from the Appalachian Coalfields.”

Two years in the making, this pair of audio CDs contains 48 songs addressing various aspects of coal mining history and culture, including black lung, union organizing, environmental impacts and the contribution of coal to the national economy. The CDs are accompanied by a richly detailed book of liner notes with striking historical photographs.

“This has been a collaborative effort involving many people in the Wise County area as well as noted experts across the country,” said Paul Kuczko, director of the Lonesome Pine Office on Youth and executive producer of the CD project. “We’ve assembled more than two hours of music that truly gives the flavor of our coal mining heritage.”

According to Jack Wright, who produced the CDs and wrote the liner notes, the musical collection is a “hybrid” of old and new songs - some previously recorded, others produced specifically for this project. “We chose some songs that came out previously on independent labels and may not have been well known, but are vital in telling original stories from the heart of the coalfields,” Wright said. “In addition, we have well established artists represented here, like Ralph Stanley, Dwight Yoakum, Natalie Merchant, Tom T. Hall, Blue Highway and the Carter Family.”
