Artist Interview: Ben Sollee & Daniel Martin Moore

Ben Sollee & Daniel Martin Moore talk about mountaintop removal coal mining and their latest album. The two highly respected songwriters and musicians have come together to create an album of modern songs with an old-timey spin. "Dear Companion" produced by My Morning Jacket's Jim James and released by Sub Pop Records is more than an album. With this project they hope to raise awareness about mountaintop removal coal mining and celebrate a rich heritage of southern music.

The Love In Stereo team had the chance to chat with them about music, collaboration and why the Appalachian area is so important.
