A song about the under appreciated way the coal miners are thought of. In memory of the victims of the Upper Big Branch Mine Explosion on April 5, 2010 in West Virginia. Don Blankenship has blood on his hands.

  • Hazel Dickens passed away in her sleep at the age of 75 today, April 22, 2011

    She was a true American treasure. God rest her soul.

  • Hazel was indeed a wonderful person - and an American treasure. "Coal Miner's Grave" is one of her greatest songs. Hazel came from a family of West Virginia coal miners and she never forgot her roots...

  • A wonderful woman that I'm sure is now being rewarded in heaven.

  • i love Hazel!!!! and I miss her.. The people of the coal fields need to stand up to the coal comanies !!!!! The goverment don't give shit about us mountain people!!!! lets stand up now!!!!

  • years ago i first heard hazel on kpfa. if you are reading this and do not know about kpfa, get wise...there are treasures galore waiting there.

    rip hazel...there are no scabs in your heaven.

  • I'm so sad to hear about her passing. this is one of my all time favorite songs.

  • Thank you Hazel Dickens for a life spent bringing attention to the plight of coal miners and their families. She was a shinning example of someone who stood with the oppressed, instead of on top of them. Heaven help those who do if we were all to get united someday. You will be missed Hazel.

  • Hazel Dickens is a rare gem found only in Appalachia.

  • I would love to hear her sing this But change a few words. For He's only a Trucker, And its only a Old Truckers Grave.

  • Nobody does minor songs like Hazel. And that dobro melts me.
