Tom T. Hall - 30 Cents a Gallon - Live! Al Downing, Brenda Lee

"We burned a tank of love most every weekend". They don't write'm like that anymore.
Tom T. sings his classic "country weeper." Wait, isn't this the Mostly Brenda channel? Don't worry, she appears on the show as well.

WOW, Tom T and Big Al Downing (RIP). I live 5 minutes from Spencer MA where Al was from and I didn't know til a week before he passed he was married to a friend of mines aunt. I saw Al at the Spencer Fair in the mid 80s when his song Let's Sing About Love was a hit.

Wow, I don’t remember 30 cents a gallon, but I’ll take $3 a gallon, rather than the $4 plus we have now. It’s crazy! Great song!

You would have to go back 50 years to about 1972. In '73, the Arab oil embargo quadrupled the price to $1.50-$1.80. The rest up to $3-$4 is mainly inflation.

One of my all time favourites by Tom T.........30 Cents a Gallon.

Great video. Tom T was great, Big Al was great. And the version of Sweet Thang with Brenda was wonderful.

[@MostlyBrenda]

Sweet Thang at Brenda's suggestion. I notice on the J Cash Show, they did "Big Boss Man". She didn't do duet albums like a lot of singers did, but these choices give a hint of songs that she liked but didn't record because she didn't want to solo them. NOTE- She did like 6 duets for the Winning Hand album in the 80s, but it was not really a Brenda Lee record.
