Tom T. Hall "The Year That Clayton Delaney Died" 

This always makes me think of my dad…I love it! Posting in 2024…peace and love to you all!

All of our great country legends are passing on with no new ones stepping in. Today's country is not very good. Will miss greats like Tom T RIP.

Legend of country music. Rest in peace, storyteller.

Hard to believe yet another legendary storyteller of country has passed away.

A living legend. The people in this audience that are walking around like there's nothing better to do while this old guy plays haven't got a clue what is being played out on stage right here with Tom. "I'd give a hundred dollars" to be sitting in this audience. No, I'd give a lot more than that. This man's music deserves top notch respect.

what a talented man just him his guitar and his song

His passing brought me here. Godspeed Tom my friend.

Tom T. Hall died at age 85 on 8-20-21. This song charted about 50 years ago at this time. I had the privilege of meeting him at a fair in 1985. Helluva nice guy. RIP, Storyteller!

One of a kind Legend!! He may be gone, but his great music will NEVER die... TY TTH

You go mr. Tom T. You’re one of the best country western music Phenomenon’s. You made an impact on all country music. Tom T. Hall is right there with some of the greatest. Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Buck Owens and let’s not forget who he influenced Dwight Yokum. So many stars. So Tom T Hall was the person that in fluenced many musicians

50 years of great songs !! Who will fill their shoes ???

About a week before this concert, my wife asked me which living artist I'd most like to see play live. It took about 3 seconds to decide on Tom T. Hall. A day or two later she decided to look to see if he was performing anywhere, and found that this tribute show was going on just a few days later! I made some emergency changes to my schedule at work and we were off to the show! It was a wonderful, intimate concert with my favorite songwriter. Discovered Eric Brace & Peter Cooper that night too!

I love this song. A lot of meaning

RIP Tom T Hall. Thanks for the music

My uncle use to sing this song Tom T Hall was his favourite RIP uncle ❤and RIP Tom T Hall thank you for beautiful music god bless ❤🙏you

My father died when I was nine.. this song was on the radio at that time and got me through and I found my passion for playing music. I have been a Tom T. Hall fan ever since.

Tom T. Hall, one of the greatest entertainers and song writers of all time. I was very privileged to have met T. in Waco, Texas at the Heart Of Texas Rodeo. I sat with him in his bus and we talked as if we had known each other for years. He was very down to earth, wasn't stuck up. I asked him the origin about some of those songs he sang and wrote, and his reply was, " Personal experience.

I’ll remember the year That Tom T Hall died Nobody ever new it But I went out on the woods And I cried I know there is a lot of big preachers Who know a lot more than I do Could be that the good lord Likes a little guitar pick’n to

One of my greatest regrets… never saw this man. Love him. Thanks for posting this.

2021. The year Tom T. Hall died. We're losing too many country music legends.

He was great.

Great story teller.

RIP you amazing man

Country royalty.

What a great storyteller, singer, and guitar player.

Love this mans music

just beautiful...just beautiful

The old master at work

what great singer and song writer

RIP Thank you so much for your stories and music. You are a legend.

Tears come to me when I hear Tom T.''s voice. It is so moving and full of compassion for his fellow man. He can't be replaced!

He's my 4th cousin on my birth dad's side. Forever a legend

I was privileged to see Tom live in Madison, WI many years ago. Must have been in the mid-late 70's. He put on a great show. He is truly someone who cares about people. At least that's how he comes across in the way he talks to you from the stage. He is an all around great entertainer. I once read he couldn't get anybody famous to sing his early songs so he decided, NUTS! I don't sing so good but I'll sing them myself anyway. I think he sings just fine. Beats all that screaming modern music.

Know that's, an entertainer!

Fantastic.

R.I.P. Tom T. , I'm going to continue playing and teaching your songs to younger musicians and the story telling that you were the master of. 👏👍🤠✝️🙏

still makes me cry

One of the greatest 3 chord storytelling songs ever written. I think just about every musician can relate in one way or another to this story. It touches my heart.

Tom T Hall is one of the best. This one of my favorite all time songs. I love your pickin'! Thanks so much for posting.

A genius.

Makes me think of some my old friends

Sadly no longtime with us hearing tom t is heartwarming

what a pro, fanastic

My heart still hurts!

The man is a treasure,part of the American soundtrack...

Love to hear the stories.

What can you say about Tom T except thank you for your talent sir. It seems our country has forgotten the good in people and can only dwell on the hate from our past. Story tellers like Tom T are needed more than ever. He now knows how all this ends, but we still have to endure till our end comes. RIP.

This is my favorite song

My favorite Tom T. Hall song.

Great find. Love this guy.

Mighty Fine !

John Giles, the best guitar picker in my town Linton Indiana brought me here, he died in 2018, now we sit here broken hearted

RIP Tom T Hall

RIP Tom T! We miss you and your great songs!

Perfect don't ya think!!!!!!!

My daughters account but I was friends with a guy who lived in Pembroke Ontario who could do this song to a T, Mr Keith Jones, RIP Keith, anytime he was jamming and I came along he would always play, The Year Clayton Delaney Died

God bless both of them

Always been greatest fan of his

RIP old friend. 🙏🏻

RIP Tom T.

The word greatness is over used, but not with this musical genius. If you haven’t, please do yourself, family and friends the honor of exposing yourselves to this man’s genius, which I hope gives just a little solace.

I wish all my best singer, song writing folks weren't dead.

Tom t hall was class act rip

It's sad that we didn't have a few more years for TTH to further ripen vocally the songs he wrote. These renditions that are so much more moving than the originals.

God bless you Tom t .......

Saw him in Casteblaney. True gentleman. Forever alive. Pinto.

Girl has enough in the middle of the great intro story?!! After the first line, bearded gent quits for the lobby.Then more drift out. This is Tom T Hall people! The kids with the cameras know his value.

RIP Musicman

Not one of you have mentioned Olive Hill KY where he was from and learned his craft. My mom was born and raised there. And that's where you get true country music. Home

It mar me really sad when I heard he took his own life. He will always be a true legend!!!

Tom T. Hall, a consummate storyteller, song writer. I loved this song so much, also old dogs, children, and watermelon wine...and many more. Sorry you felt you had to go cuz it really hurt this fan. May God give you rest...

Rusty loved this song❤

I love Selena she was beautiful and a great singer her music was fantastic her band awesome rest in peace honey!

He's been on my mind the last day or so, had no idea that he'd died this week. Spooky.

I NOW 84 MISS OL' TOM GREATLY...& I TRULY LOVE THIS CREATION OF HIS...TOUCHED ME A LOT...

Miss his music but play his songs yet on. Cds i got

What a great song! I so prefer this version to the released single back in the day. This version is just so pure and simple and beautiful and heartfelt with only his voice and the guitar accompaniment. The older version seems, in comparison, over orchestrated and (to me) the trumpet playing takes away from the beauty and clarity of Hall's wonderful voice. What a poet and master of lyric! And the fact that he is now a much older man gives the underlying themes of mortality and the passing of time and youth so poignant.

AWESOME x 10,000,000.00

My mom and dad name me after this

My goodness.

R.I.P

I have a autographed picture when I was a little boy it's a black and white picture

RIp Tom T Hall

Some folks get real nervous when someone starts talking or singing about someone dieing. Maybe that's it.

Clayton was only 19 he says

I wonder why Dwight Yoakam never recorded this song. He would've made Mr Tom T. Hall proud coz Dwight would've killed this

Rip

So sad. America's Storyteller gone.
