My great-grandfather was one of the local leaders during Bloody Harlan. A lot of his family had moved there a decade or two prior, and sure enough, few of them left alive. Most died of Black Lung from the mines if they didn’t die during Bloody Harlan. My grandma and her mother moved back to WV when my great-grandpa was imprisoned following the Battle of Evarts. I’d never heard this song before, and it really hits home that this is part of my roots.

Patty is indeed a coal miner’s daughter as well from Pikeville, Kentucky. Patty grew up in Elkhorn City in Pike County until her family moved here to Louisville when Patty was 11 years old in order for her dad to get treatment for black lung disease from coal mining. Patty’s dad died from black lung complications in 1979 when Patty was 22 years old. Everything that Patty sings about in this song is so real from her true life experience, and her emotions and pain really show in her singing.

Because Darrell Scott wrote it. He meant that the experience is very personal and relatable to Patty, but the story is actually inspired by when Darrell Scott went back to Harlan with his father as a boy.

Ever been to a coal mine country? No jobs, no future. The go green people are forcing these old communities to their grave. Close the coal mines, where generations upon generations of people worked. But it’s bad. Some of the communities are okay, most coal communities are very very poor. My church built a building and multiple churches help, but it’s not uncommon to trade their kids for drugs, alcohol, sex. Homeless kids up in these mountains, literally homeless children. And the more people push to go green, the more these century old communities just whither and rot. They are thrown away like trash, they ain’t important, their very existence goes against celebrities and millionaires.

Fact: That line about the man from the Northeast arrived waving hundred dollar bills buying mineral rights is actually true. The land owner could keep the surface land but the coal mine companies had the mineral rights and could mine right underneath your house, lots of times causing tremendous damage to the house and the foundations. People lost water from their wells. That line diggin' coal from the bottom of your grave is really true. The coal companies owned everything that you had. You even were not paid in real dollars, just coal company script. Check out the history of "Bloody Harlan." So yes, Harlan is a real town. There are a lot of great folk songs that came from the coal strikes. Pete Seeger "Which Side Are You On?" John Prine, "Paradise" Tennessee Ernie Ford, "16 Tons"

Soprano, Alto and tenor and I believe if I'm pronouncing that right.

My dad's family is from southwest Virginia, coal country. My grandfather mined for years. He developed black lung. He mined, probably back in the 20's and 30's. It was very primitive conditions back then, especially in the really rural areas. Dustin mentioned farming. Large-scale farming was not an option. For two reasons, as was mentioned, rough rocky terrain. And the fact that it takes farmers lots of land to yield a crop large enough to sell and to provide for their family's needs. And sometimes large families, at that. Dad had 11 brothers and sisters. There was just no money to buy the extra land needed. Miners didn't earn a great deal, and the mortality rate was extremely high. It was not uncommon for families to lose their sole source of income due to the hazards of mining. My grandparents had a garden. But, as you might imagine, it was just enough to provide for the family.

The struggle was, and is, real and is still going on. I once took care of a miner in a nursing home where I worked and if you asked him where he was from, he'd say, without hesitation, "bloody Harlan"... oh the stories he told about growing up there.

Patty Loveless put out an impressive catalog of albums. Real albums you can listen to beginning to end and really get something out of every song. I've been a fan since the early '90's when I really started listening to more than just what the radio played. She has a knack of picking a good song and interpreting it in a way that just puts you on the floor. I read once that she started off as a rock singer and credited that with helping to strengthen her voice. She's never had many great big hits, but she never once let me down.

This is not a Brad Paisley cover this is Patty Loveless this is her song in Harlan Kentucky if you look up your history at one of the biggest fights or the coal industry in history you might know about where you’re from other places but like this one up it’s pretty big in the books of history

Wow! Thanks guys. I LOVE Patty Loveless and am a proud WV hillbilly and have never heard that one. Watching what BIGCoal has done to our state breaks my heart from the mountain topping to the way they and Purdue pharma took advantage of our miners and mining towns…I can get Miranda Lambert crazy ex girlfriend mad. For a fun upbeat Patty song check out “High on Love” and for a super heartfelt one check out “How can I help you say goodbye”

@@BourbonCountryReacts Yes! Watching Dopesick with Michael Keaton broke my heart at how bad it was and how much they targeted our miners.

That ain't no Auto-Tune! She is a singer, not some industry bubblegum airhead. She is singing her Family Legacy.
