Tom T. Hall: The Storyteller [Mercury, 1972]
Counting Greatest Hits this is the fourth LP from Hall in about a year, and while it's better than the last one the workload still shows. The title isn't quite a misnomer, but he does seem to be cranking out them yarns instead of looking for his own truth within them, and for the second straight album the most impressive cut is a straight love song--"Souvenirs" on We All Got Together, "When Nobody Wants Your Body Anymore" here. How about picking up some new material on a long vacation, T? B
