John Hall - Reclaiming My Time

"Reclaiming My Time” is a phrase used on the floor of Congress to resume what one was saying before being interrupted.  These are songs written since my return to “normal life,” along with a few  remixed and remastered tunes from previously recorded but not widely distributed projects.  Studios in  the Hudson Valley of NY and in Nashville, TN captured performances by extraordinary musicians I am lucky to call friends. Thanks to all of them and all my illustrious co-writers.
