That would make Tom Brumley the brother of Albert E. Brumley, Jr. who did a nice record with Merl Haggard in the last few years, after Haggard largely gave up being a mainstream Country singer.

Tom Brumley replaced J. D. Manness in the Desert Rose band when Jorgenson, Duncan and Manness all departed. He is on their last three records, but none of their big hits, which were on earlier recordings.

His father is famous for writing the songs Rank Strangers, I'd Rather Live by the Side of the Road and I'll Fly Away.
