I've never heard it either. In fact I don't believe it's ever been released. I only know about it b/c it was mentioned in Nick Tosches' classic book Country: The Biggest Music in America.

Tosches did not ID Hall as the author -- instead he coyly said the song was written by a singer-songwriter "whose work is marked by an excessive poignancy". It was only many years and some online research later that I connected Hall to it.

Despite the title, it's not a Johnny Rebel-type but conventional liberalism: one of the lyrics is "What a frickin' disadvantage when you never learn to hate."

So sorry to hear Mr. Hall has passed. This is my favorite song he wrote/sang, and so many greats have covered it including Roseanne/Johnny Cash.

"That's How I Got to Memphis" has to be an all time jukebox song.
