Editorial Reviews

I Witness Life and 100 Children, two of Tom T. Hall's excellent late '60s albums, are combined on this single compact disc. Although many of the best songs were featured on Greatest Hits and Storyteller, Poet Philosopher, these albums work well as individual records and they're well worth acquiring for any Hall fan. ~ Thom Owens, All Music Guide

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent-Tom T. was never better!, November 14, 2000

By 

Ronald George Reagan (Steele, MO) - See all my reviews

This review is from: I Witness Life / 100 Children (Audio CD)

Tom T. Hall is not only one of country's biggest stars of the past, but he was a singer-songwriter in the vein of Hank, Sr. who wrote about everyday occurences and sung them with a sincere conviction that no one else could. This is a re-issue of two classic early 70's albums originally released on the Mercury label and the sound was never better. The "100 Children" half would be worth the cost alone. Every Tom T. Hall fan out there should thank Bear Family for presenting us this! Again, Mercury continues it's shameful treatment of their classic country catalog, so, again, we must look to Bear Family.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best, October 16, 1999

It's a shame that it takes a country like Germany to release a CD by one of America's greatest songwriters. This CD is incredible. If you've only heard of Tom T.Hall through other people doing his songs, you owe it to yourself to hear them from the master.
