After the death of Wallace Stegner, Hall was considered the dean of West Coast writers, having supported the early careers of California novelists such as Richard Ford and Michael Chabon, both graduates of the well-known writing program at the University of California, Irvine, where Hall taught for many years, and Amy Tan, his student from The Community of Writers at Squaw Valley. Hall's colleagues at Irvine included Pulitzer Prize-winning poet and fellow Iowa graduate Charles Wright, and poet and Victorian Scholar Robert Peters. San Diego—and Hall's one-time San Diego neighborhood of Mission Hills—serve as focal points of two novels, Corpus of Joe Bailey and Love & War in California.
The group was founded in 2002 and is named for Oakley Hall, an American novelist. The group's songs combine elements of rock, bluegrass, and old-time music, prominently featuring the male-female vocal harmonies of lead vocalists Patrick Sullivan and Rachel Cox. Rather than imitating the style of commercial country or bluegrass, the group's melodies more closely recall old American folk songs and ballads, though often supported by a driving rock beat. In addition to the typical guitars, bass guitar, and drums, the group also features an electrified violin, an electric guitar tuned like a five-string banjo, and a lap steel guitar.
History
Although based in New York, most of the group's members are not originally from that state: Patrick Sullivan is from New England, Rachel Cox is from North Carolina, Jesse Barnes is from Maryland, Fred Wallace is from Mississippi, Claudia Mogel is from New York, and Greg Anderson is from Florida. Sullivan is a former member of Oneida.
In my brain it's understood You killed my soul like I knew you would You hit me with your velvet touch My sacrifice was all too much Why did you have to walk away On sacred ground yesterday Fill my pride, you don't wanna know Still inside, every time you go You kill me You took the breath right out of me And now I find that I can't see The shallow water is my grave Now what I lost is what I crave Fill my pride, you don't wanna know Still inside, every time you go You kill me Now I can feel the ghost within Don't put the curse on me again Don't leave me in this golden cage Until I live the final page Fill my pride, you don't wanna know Still inside, every time you go You kill me Fill my pride, you don't wanna know Still inside, every time you go
