Music reviews of Music of Coal: Mining Songs from the Appalachian Coalfields

Music Review: "Music of Coal" CD As Good As It Gets
Rating: 5 Stars

This two-volume CD, text, and photos is as good as it gets in musically depicting the life and times in America's coal fields in Appalachia. As someone who grew up in proximity to the coal fields and who has worked in the coal industry for more than 35 years, and who is a lover of "mountain music", many of these songs are well known to me but for which I have no recordings. Others were those I hadn't heard before but sure am glad I now have copies. Many of them bring back a lot of memories of my travels and experiences in the coal fields, which continue to this day. Kudos to all those involved in bringing this project to fruition.
