Interview with
Jack Wright on
“All Things
Considered” on
NPR Radio
The Lonesome Pine Office on Youth announces the release of the two-CD set Music of Coal: Mining Songs from the Appalachian Coalfields.
Two years in the making, this pair of audio CDs contains 48 songs addressing various aspects of coal mining history and culture, including black lung, union organizing, environmental impacts and the contribution of coal to the national economy. The CDs are accompanied by a richly detailed book of liner notes with striking historical photographs.
This has been a collaborative effort involving many people in the Wise County area as well as noted experts across the country, said Paul Kuczko, director of the Lonesome Pine Office on Youth and executive producer of the CD project. Weve assembled more than two hours of music that truly gives the flavor of our coal mining heritage.
According to Jack Wright, who produced the CDs and wrote the liner notes, the musical collection is a hybrid of old and new songs – some previously recorded, others produced specifically for this project. We chose some songs that came out previously on independent labels and may not have been well known, but are vital in telling original stories from the heart of the coalfields, Wright said. In addition, we have well established artists represented here, like Ralph Stanley, Dwight Yoakum, Natalie Merchant, Tom T. Hall, Blue Highway and the Carter Family.
