Joey Hemphill Discusses the Company’s History and State of the Tour Bus Today
The young brothers, Joey and Trent, did a double take when they opened the check from Van Halen’s management. Eyes were squinted, heads were scratched. The check was less than they were expecting.
It was the early 1980s, and the new Hemphill Brothers Coach company had snagged the red-hot rock band as a client. Brothers Joey and Trent had negotiated verbally that on the weeks when the band was taking scheduled breaks, Hemphills were to be paid 2/3rds of the weekly cost of the lease. The wording on the contract was supposed to be “1/3 off” the weekly rate. Alas an “f” went missing, and that became “1/3 of.” “When the break occurred and we got our check, we called management and told them we were shorted, and they responded, ‘Go back and read the contract that you drew up and signed.’ This was a hard lesson for two very young bus company owners. That one letter being left off a single word, that typo, costs us greatly in a period when we needed it most as we only had two buses in our fleet,” Joey says.
Suffice to say the company survived (and Van Halen is still a client). Today, the company is thriving. On any given day, they have 100 buses with new ones being fitted to a stars’ needs. Th

The Hemphills – Sing the Glory Down (1974)
After enjoying some good success with “Ready to Leave”, the Hemphills released another album in 1974 entitled, “Sing the Glory Down”, and this ranks as one of my all-time favorite albums by the Hemphills.I first heard the album as a teenager back around 1987, when I was a sophomore in high school.My pastor (the late Rev. M.E Cox) had it, and as I was going through his record collection at his home, I came across this one and asked if I could borrow it, and he said I could have it.I joyfully took it home and fell madly in love with it from the very first listen!
Produced by Bob MacKenzie, “Sing the Glory Down” had a very similar feel to their last album.The production value was stepped up slightly for this album and it also had a bit more variety to it as well.Unfortunately, MacKenzie would only lend his expertise to 2 albums for the Hemphills, and this would be the last one he produced for the group, as he would move on to other things by the following year.I would have loved to have heard him produce more albums for the Hemphills, but it wasn’t to be.
This album also marked the point when Joel and LaBreeska’s son, Trent, joined the group as their bass player.Prior to Trent joining, LaBreeska’s uncle, Bobby Goodman, played
