The Great Tompall: Forgotten Country Music Outlaw was a departure from my writings as an insurance expert witness and consultant (Inside the Insurance Industry – Third Edition). I have always had a deep love of music and had long dabbled in songwriting, playing guitar and solo performances. Like many, I had dreams of “making it” in the music world. Sadly, it never happened…not even close. But Tompall did. He influenced country music in a big way from the 1960s until the 1990s. And although he is no longer making music, his talent shines brightly in each recording he lovingly produced.
