Kelly Willis-

So when I first saw him on TNN years ago with Ralph Emery I remember thinking, "He wrote THAT?...and THAT?...and THAT?!?!..." Quite an impressive talent!

I think I was the last one approached to contribute to the tribute and "That's How I Got To Memphis" was still available. I do get lucky sometimes! This song has always just broken my heart. It's such a beautiful story and so well done, such a simple and subtle rendering. Mr. Hall is just the consummate storyteller. This song had obviously been done right the first time so we just tried to have fun with it. Will Rigby and Tony Maimone laid down the groovy rhythm and Mark Spencer did the rest. Mark was really the creative genius behind our recording.
