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 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. Weve 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.
