-
I live in Ky. ..some of my family plus my daddy work in coal mines..love this song
-
saw her live, this was definately the standout performance of the night
-
@hillbillyclimber EXACTLY! That's what I like about classic singers better than singers today. Probably the reaason why they crank songs up so loud at concerts is so you can't hear their crappy singing. Haha.. Most artists that I've seen today live you can't reallly tell if they're good singer or not anymore, because they crank the acoustics so loud you can't hear what they're singing.. There's been some good ones but then also there's been a few bad.

@peeje852 - was going to go to Lakeside, but passed.. Sigh. Bad choice. Was there last year - nice venue.
-
@dojusticelovemercy1 I agree. Kathy's version is very good, but Hazel's is great.
-
Beautiful song and she does it well. However, this is truly a song that only Hazel Dickens can really pull off. This version doesn't have the haunting and painful tone like Dickens.

I just saw Kathy for the 2nd time, this past Friday, in Lakeside, Ohio. Wonderful. Truly one of the best performers around. Few people could pull off a concert like that, and have the encore be 'Black Lung' --accapella. Her voice was as fresh as if she had opened the show with it. If you get a chance to see her, take it. The 'Coal' cd is a must-have.

-
Great song, even though they tell us at the mine there ain't no black lung anymore.... lol.

Only someone as talented as Kathy Mattea could pull this off. It takes ALOT of talent to sing a song this powerful in acappella.

She has got to be one of the most underrated singers in country music.
