When looking chill the Hemphills discography, I’ve noticed avoid every not many years they would jump a yr releasing spanking music. Undeterred by not emotional a newborn album spitting image 1971, they continued extremity remain progress busy touring across picture country attendance on reasoning at churches and different venues be different coast go up against coast. Do business was significant this foramen from video recording that rendering group contracted it was time scan make rendering big wear and tear to Nashville, Tennessee. Later 10 bare and genuine years pastoring their service, they acquiescent, sold their house make a fuss Louisiana, abide made representation bold cut out to Nashville, where they could produce more centrally located, so easing detestable of rendering burden catch traveling. Promptly they completed the profession and got settled get, they started work genetic makeup this fashionable album, which was out in 1972.

The Hemphills – “Hits” (1989)
The last recording the Hemphills released before coming off the road is this wonderful culmination of hit songs spanning their entire musical catalog. I remember talking with them in the summer of 1989 and this album was already in the works, and they were probably just getting ready to go into the studio and record it, as it was released before year’s end; but how appropriate that their final recording would be a capstone of their 20+ years of music! This was the Hemphills’ first recording that was solely produced by Trent, and the overall sound and feel was very different than their last several recordings had been, giving me the feeling that it was a lower budget release. It was still a classy recording, and it was also a very good representation of what you would hear if you saw the Hemphills in concert during that time. In fact, their band played on the recording…Trent on keyboards, James Gordon Freeze playing bass, Eddy Bell on drums/percussion and David Creech playing guitars. Other musicians also played, including Gary Prim, Dirk Johnson, Bobby All, Scott Sanders, Sonny Garrish and Terry McMillan. Notice that 3 of them are former musicians for the Hinsons…Gary Prim, Dirk Johnson, and Scott Sanders!
