An excerpt from "Hazel Dickens: It's Hard to Tell the Singer from the Song," an Appalshop documentary by Mimi Pickering.

Hazel Dickens, RIP. Powerful voice from a powerful gal. Loretta Lynn is the Coal Miner's Daughter, and Hazel Dickens is the Coal Miner's Heroine.

She's my Dads Sister, My Aunt I still have the card Mrs. Pickering sent to my Mom & Dad.
It rests with a lot of other cherished items given to me by Mom, Dad and Aunt Hazel. She acomplished a lot during her time with us and had much to be proud of.

Hello Arnold. Glad to hear from you. Your dad Arnold plays music with Hazel in the full video. It was a great pleasure to meet him and your mom, and all the members of Hazel's family. I miss her terribly, as I sure you all do. But we will always have her wonderful music!

I met her at IBMA and at the Grey Fox Festival. I miss her as there will never ever be a stronger voice for those of us who draw a paycheck.
