JOE DIFFIE

country music singer

“I think that would be a Tom T. Hall record. I don’t remember the title of the album itself, but it was a Tom T. Hall record. Do you remember ‘Salute to a Switchblade’? It definitely had that song on it, and that was the first album that I ever went out and bought myself.

“Oh yeah, the Ol’ Storyteller. I’ve always been a big fan of Tom T.’s. I think that a lot of the songs that I’ve recorded over my career have been in that same vein, as far as the humor and the real-life, Americana kind of thing, you know?”
