The Sons of the Desert Laurel & Hardy movie marathon and invited Sons members from across America to take part in the live, national broadcast. A documentary film about the Sons organization was produced in 1987 by Alexander Marshall: "Revenge of the Sons of the Desert" is a featurette showing the international membership at one of its conventions, with commentary by celebrity guests. An Emmy Award winner, the film is included in the DVD set "The Laurel & Hardy Collection Volume One" (released in 2006). The Michigan tent also started a helper group named after the Laurel and Hardy short "Brats," which is composed of
Sons of the Desert (band) "Hand of Fate" and "Leaving October" (which Drew Womack wrote about his third-grade teacher), also reached top 40 on the same chart. Drew Womack and Virden also appeared as studio backing vocalists for other Epic Records artists, including Ty Herndon's 1996 album "Living in a Moment" and 1998 album "Big Hopes", as well as Joe Diffie's 1997 album "Twice Upon a Time". Drew Womack also wrote Kenny Chesney's 1997 single "She's Got It All". Following the release of its first album, Sons of the Desert discovered a song called "Goodbye Earl", which they began to perform in concert. Written by
