Lost Gem - 'Real: The Tom T. Hall Project'

So I was working on the "burn stack" this morning and ran across this out-of-print gem, which contains stellar versions of Tom T. Hall classics. Running the gamut from Johnny Cash and Kelly Willis to Calexico and Joe Henry (stunning version of "Homecoming"), this is a terrific tribute to an underappreciated talent. You just gotta hear Whiskeytown's seven-and-a-half-minute version of "I Hope It Rains At My Funeral."

Unfortunately, it's already out of print but can be obtained from third-party sellers on Amazon. Or check your local used record store or bookstore - it isn't really very old and can't be that hard to find.
