While he was best known for writing (When Mama Socked It To) The Harper Valley P.T.A.
He always wrote songs that spoke to me like:

Harper Velley P.T.A.

The art of storytelling is way too unappreciated anymore, always loved Tom's songs since I was a kid, though I'll be honest I didn't have a name or face to the voice for far too long.

Rest in peace Tom, still seems too early no matter what age.

I’m not a big country fan by a long shot. But country lost two greats the past week. First Nanci Griffith and then Tom T. Hall. I’ll miss them both. RIP Tom and thanks for the great stories.
