Miss Dixie Hall (May 26, 1934 - January 16, 2015). Along with her songwriting husband, Tom T. Hall, Miss Dixie was elected to the Bluegrass Hall of Fame in 2018. During the latter part of their lifetimes, the Halls were incredible supporters of the Bluegrass community -- sharing their home, their recording studio, their financial support, and their prodigious songwriting skills. There was a period of time in the 1990s and into the early 21st century where you didn't find many new CDs without a song written or co-written by Tom T. or Dixie Hall. Amazing. Together and separately, Tom T. and Miss Dixie wrote several hundred songs, and their constant support of the Bluegrass community will never be forgotten. To honor Miss Dixie, we shared seven of her compositions during Sunday's show, though we could have easily filled the whole three hours with no repeats. Incredible.
While we didn't share any brand-new recordings on Sunday, we did include recent single releases from forthcoming projects, or tunes from recent recordings. These included songs from Danny Paisley & the Southern Grass, Jerry Salley, the Tim Raybon Band, and Authentic Unlimited.
Hope you enjoyed the show, and I do hope you'll consider joining me once more next Sunday afternoon from 4-7PM for another edition of our Bluegrass Cafe.
Enjoy the week!
