InfluencesMaybe it is genetic memory, but I remember, at some point, being very impressed by Norse rowing chants.

In this present incarnation, aside from Sgt. Pepper, most of my influences have been people I have had the pleasure to know and sometimes work with. I produced the first commercial recordings of Hadley Hockensmith (The Montereys), Jim Pulte, Moon Martin and The Disciples (later Southwind), all of which still blow me away. Great talents I have considered friends through the years include Steve Ripley, Mitch Ballard, Gary Talley, Pat Pattison, Marianne Osiel and Mimi Lange Johnston.

I’ve been fortunate to meet and spend some time with some nice people including Fontaine Brown, Englebert Humperdink, B J Thomas, Sam Moore, Frankie Valle & the Four Seasons, Buck Owens, Don Rich and Gene Sullivan.

I’ve enjoyed meeting some really talented individuals in a lot of different fields. I think I’ve learned from, and been influenced by, most of them.

Hell, you could be one of em!

Tom Hays - Join us in congratulating record producer Kim Copeland for her work on the Rachel Williams album, Lonely At The Bottom. Check this great review by R.K.
Oermann with Music Row Magazine on Rachel's current single, The Only Thing Harder Than Leaving.


"She has the goods. This creeps up on you with cat’s paws. The languid pace, echoing instruments, spacious production and her hushed, aching delivery are all immensely seductive. The lyric of leaving home is full of terrific details. And her falsetto leaps in the bridge are like little daggers to the heart. A mini masterpiece. This, by the way, is the third single in a row that I have raved about from this performer.

Everything's smooth here. You guys need to make an Oklahoma trip someday.

Ever hear anything about McGrew? A couple of years - maybe 3 - ago, Ronnie Kaye said he saw him. I might go Terry Berry searching one day soon.

Yeah-that's what I hear. I really like your writing...I got a chance to listen to four of your songs while on the flight back to OKC. You definately are a talented lyricist. If time ever permits-we should collaborate on some stuff.
