April, 2011 RED BEET RECORDS - What do Patty Griffin, Duane Eddy, Bobby Bare, and Buddy Miller have in common, besides being icons of American music? They’re Tom T. Hall fans, and this new record proves it. Just in time for Tom T. Hall’s 75th birthday, producers Peter Cooper and Eric Brace have assembled the perfect cast to pay tribute to country music’s greatest storytelling songwriter. Gathered in the recording studio at Tom T.’s Fox Hollow farm, the group put their own spin on the Country Music Hall of Famer’s most beloved work, his 1974 album, Songs of Fox Hollow. Indie label Red Beet Records has joined with the Country Music Hall of Fame’s CMF Records to release what is destined to be a new children’s classic, I Love: Tom T. Hall’s Songs of Fox Hollow. The album also includes GARY BENNETT, Jim Lauderdale, Tommy Cash, Elizabeth Cook, Eric Brace & Last Train Home, Peter Cooper, and many more, including Tom T. himself. The record release will take place on May 25th at the Country Music Hall of Fame’s Ford Theater.
