About Tommy Hall (musician)
- Tommy Hall (born September 21, 1943) is an electric jug player from Texas.
- He was a founding member of the American psychedelic rock band The 13th Floor Elevators.A special aspect of The Elevators' sound came from Tommy Hall's innovative electric jug.
- The jug, a crock-jug with a microphone held up to it while it was being blown, sounded somewhat like a cross between a Minimoog and cuica drum.
- In contrast to traditional musical jug technique, Hall did not blow into the jug to produce a tuba-like sound.
- Instead, he vocalized musical runs into the mouth of the jug, using the jug to create echo and distortion of his voice.
- When playing live, he held the microphone up to the mouth of the jug, but when recording the Easter Everywhere album, the recording engineer placed a microphone inside the jug to enhance the sound.
