Story
Terry Lee Hale has been releasing his songs and albums for more than three decades. He was born in Texas, is widely considered one of the godfathers of the Seattle scene (including being the only singer-songwriter on the seminal ’80s compilation Sub Pop 200), and currently resides in Marseille. His œuvre is not merely Americana, roots music or rock and roll. It encompasses all of these, of course, but Hale’s work cannot be pigeonholed, is – like himself – a true original.
