But This Album!


You will thank me later...


Kathy Mattea's new release Coal is an awesome collection of Appalachian folk songs that deal with the "life-blood of the region". Many of the songs focus on the hardships of the industry and the regions where coal excavation is prominant. Haunting songs about Harlan Co. KY will linger with you and the images they conjure are as sad as the melodies.
