Hal has rescheduled his October tour of Ireland for personal reasons, the new dates are as follows:
 Keith Carper, Hal's bass player and friend for many years, passed away on Tuesday night, September 22, 2009 at his home in New Braunfels (Texas). He was only 50 years old. Friends of Keith are gathering this Sunday, September 27, starting around 2 pm at Gruene Hall.I only met Keith one time when he was on tour with Hal in the UK in 2008, I wish I could have had the chance to see him again. I would like to express my sadness at the loss of this great bass player and from all accounts a wonderful person too, and my thoughts go out to his family and friends. RIP Keith xx  Just heard some sad news today. Stephen Bruton, the recording artist, producer, songwriter, guitarist and actor who spent nearly two decades as “the baby” of Kris Kristofferson’s touring band, died today in Los Angeles. He was 60 and had battled throat cancer for two years. Mr. Bruton’s songs were recorded by Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, Bonnie Raitt, Patty Loveless, Martina McBride, Jimmy Buffett and numerous others. He produced albums for Hal Ketchum, Alejandro Escovedo, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Chris Smither, Marcia Ball and Storyville, and he released five acclaimed solo albums. He was also a noted session musician who performed on works by Raitt, Elvis Costello, Carly Simon, The Wallflowers, Delbert McClinton and others. Hal will make a rare and intimate appearance with his full band at the famed Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, March 19, at 9 p.m.
Hal, who recently released his new album Father Time, is set to appear as part of the Americana Music Association’s “Live at The Bluebird Café” concert series, which runs through March 26. He is set to perform three songs from the new album, “Invisible,” “Millionaire’s Wife” and “Sparrow.” Tickets to individual shows during the "Live at the Bluebird Cafe" concert series are $25 each. All proceeds go to support the Americana Music Association. For more information, call (615) 386-6939 or visit americanamusic.org or bluebirdcafe.com.
The following tour dates have just been announced:
There is a good interview with Hal talking to John Walker about Father Time on the Americana Roots website.The UK magazine Country Music People has a review of Hal's new CD in their December issue. Here is what the reviewer John Philibert had to say: There has always been something of the left of centre to Hal Ketchum’s music. Whether it is anything to do with his Yankee origins up in New York State I couldn’t say, but there has always been a fusing of rock and pop and a folkie singer-songwriter sophistication amidst the fiddles and steel of his Nashville recorded albums. This approach has manifested itself markedly on Father Time which shows influences of such artists as Paul Simon and other non country acts and where a Tom Waits song sits (almost) comfortably with the original Ketchum material. Keeping the mood sombre, the following track, Yesterday’s Gone, is a waltztimed autobiographical piece about the passing of his grandfather (actually a compounded song about both his grandfathers according to his description in the liner note) although the lilt of the melody and the litany of happy memories left behind keeps it from being too overtly sad. The album finally starts to kick with the arrival of the third cut, the corking Millionaire’s Wife, which is a purple tale of wrong doing, cheating, murder and imprisonment all set to a strutting faux Bo Diddley beat. The track has a strong, smouldering build that takes in snappy percussion and a gospel call and response sequence and even Howlin’ Wolf like wails at the close. In an album that relies more than a little on midtempo pieces, another good rocker is If You Don’t Love Me Baby (Just Let Me Go), a co-write with Al Anderson, which whatever it lacks in lyrical introspection makes up for in abandoned joi-de-vie. Surrounded By Love is another deeply personal song, written quickly by Ketchum while the session was still ongoing, about and dedicated to his father and describes childhood happiness that came without money or possessions. Ketchum emotes well with earnest throaty vocals and there is plunking banjo in the mix from Ketchum himself (he wrote the song on the instrument) and fiddle keeping it well down-home. Simple but so effective. Another goodie is Ordinary Day, written with Darrell Scott (who plays guitar on the session) and unusually tells a story from a female perspective (although if novelists can do it, why not country songwriters?), in this case a waitress. Slow measured and chock full of nicely observed everyday, even mundane, yet effective touches. Not everything is quite as successful, Million Dollar Baby aims for a kind of Continental Café feel but doesn’t quite make it while the duel tempoed Continental Farewell is way too clever and tricksy for its own good. The Tom Waits song, Jersey Girl, is OK enough (and is touchingly dedicated to Ketchum’s wife who is from that part of the world) and has an easy bounce but probably needs its idiosyncratic writer’s personality to sell it completely successfully. Moreover, at 14 tracks, many of which exceed four minutes, there is, it must be said, the occasional moment of dullness. However, when Father Time works, it reminds us of what an inventive and accomplished writer/performer Hal Ketchum is. His fanbase, which is strong and loyal, should lap it up either way. Hal's 'Song of the Month' at the moment is called 'Take It All Out On Me', you can hear it on his official website.
There is a new feature on Hal's official website called Uncle Hal's Song of the Month. About once every month or so he will post a new song on the site for us to check out. It may be a song he just wrote or a cover tune of a band or artist he loves. This month's song is called Lilly's Birthday.Hal fan Sue has created a post on Google Earth, showing all of Hal's concert venues, with links and photos. It's a great idea, thanks Sue! The venue for Hal's shows at the UTV Country Fest on August 1st and 2nd of 2009 has been changed from Dungannon Park to the Kings Hall in Belfast. Hal performed on the Billy Block Show at the Cadillac Ranch in Nashville on September 16th, 2008 and you can watch videos of the songs Past The Point of Rescue, Awaiting Redemption, Invisible, I Know Where Love Lives and Travelin' Teardrop Blues on YouTube.

Take Care of One Another, Peace, HAL The new 'Greatest Hits' CD is already available to pre-order from Amazon both in the US and the UK.
In the April issue of Maverick magazine which is on sale now, there is a feature on Hal entitled 'The Travelling Musician'.Not sure if I have mentioned this before, but there is an interview with Hal on the BBC Radio 2 website, I think it was recorded at the 2007 Americana Awards. Hal talks about the CMA awards, songwriting and touring the UK. [18 March 08] Kiss-Ass Country interviewed Hal on their show on Dundalk FM 100 on Wednesday 19th March. You can listen to the interview online by going to their MySpace page and following the link on there. [13 March 08] Just heard from Ian and Les of Whinbush Multimedia, they have launched a new website, www.countrymusicireland.tv. Their relationship with JW Promotions means they have exclusive access to UK, Ireland and USA artists when they tour, and they have a page on the site for Hal, which features a video of 'In Front of the Alamo' from the Live in Ireland DVD. It's one of 15 tracks PLUS 2 bonus tracks performed during the show. The songs featured include Small Town Saturday Night, Past The Point of Rescue, Hearts Are Gonna Roll and Mama Knows The Highway. The DVD is fully featured and includes the discography of Hal’s work and has individual song selection and “Bonus” footage of the encore. It was recorded in The Burnavon Theatre in Cookstown, Hal thrills a capacity audience with what amounts to a “Greatest Hits” show and for good measure throws in material from his latest CD, “One More Midnight”. You’ll have the opportunity to get hold of the Live in Ireland DVD at his UK and Ireland shows, at the moment this is the only way you can get a copy. Just a reminder of the UK and Ireland tour dates:
Hal performed at the Grand Ole Opry on Saturday 15th March, he sang three songs, 'Surrounded by Love' (2hrs 21mins) which he said he wrote on Wednesday, 'On the Day He Called Your Name' (2hrs 25mins) which he wrote on Monday, and 'Million Dollar Baby' which was written two weeks ago! You can listen to the archives of the show on the WSM website. The archives of Hal's appearance on 8th March are also still available, that night he sang 'Five O'Clock World' (35 mins), 'Stay Forever' (1hr), 'I Know Where Love Lives' (3hrs 22mins) and 'Past The Point of Rescue' (3hrs 27mins). There was also a short interview with Hal from his dressing room (2hrs 42mins), he said he had just cut 15 songs in 2 days live to 2 track with the greatest band he could assemble in Nashville, not sure of the correct spelling but it sounded like Dennis Crouch on double bass, Aubrey Hanney on fiddle and mandolin, Brian Sutton on guitar, Russ Paul on guitar, Chip Davies, Eddie Berris and Paul Lyne on drums and percussion, and Angie and Gayle who are gospel/soul singers. Hal said the album should be released very soon because when you cut live to 2 tracks, it's already mixed, it's done. Hal talked about his girls, the cruise he went on recently, and his project with Steve Miller, apparently that is going to happen the first two weeks in May. [12 March 08] Author Robert Hicks has compiled an anthology of short stories by country songwriters, titled A Guitar and a Pen: Stories by Country Music's Greatest Songwriters, which will be released on May 14.
