Patty was unsure she could sing this at first, as humble as she truly is, so her husband placed a photograph of her father in front of her and said “Sing it to him.,” and she clearly did.
I too am from Eastern Kentucky and saw what the coal mines done to family. No one sings this song more passionately than Patty as she knows from experience as well. God bless the miners.
I'm a doctor in America and I went to medical school at the University of Kentucky which is the state where Harland is. The poverty and the devastation that Americans don't even realize exists in their own country is in the Appalachian Appalachian and Southern counties of Kentucky and I hope people see your video and remember that those people in our own country are suffering in need support and there are still coal miners and there are still people with no running water in that part of our country
🙏 i an a 61 yr ole woman... I live off grid... Duke Energy poisoned my well, therefore, I'll not pay them for elec... my granddaddy died from blacklung... Duke was a coal based plant....
The sadness you hear in her voice is called that “high lonesome sound”, and it’s a hallmark of bluegrass, even in the happier songs. It’s hard to exactly define, but you know it when you hear it.
Patty is one of a handful of artists that sends shivers down my spine as soon as she hits that first note. Definitely hearing that Irish and Scottish sound in her voice. How can I help you say goodbye is also another great song of hers.
Roosevelt told Hitler that if he could take Harlan Kentucky, he would give him the United States. Obviously he knew he could never take such a hard place full of hard people. Wow
My grandfather was a coal miner, in the early years of the mines. My father was born in Harlan KY. Grandpa moved his family of 16 to Indiana in the 1940s where I was born. I have heard my dad say that his family left Kentucky so the 13 brothers could live a long life and trade the mines for farms. My dad turns 91 in a few weeks, all of his brothers and 2 sisters are gone now. Believe it or not, this is the first time I have ever heard this song. I am in tears, and now I really understand what grandpa meant.
Bless your heart. This is A Americana song. I hate to admit it. I had never heard the song untill she sing it on the CMAs My grandfather passed away with black lung . Patty loveless is A one of A kind
Similar story with my family. My great grandfather was a coal miner in Harlan and they moved most of the family to Indiana in the late 60’s. This is a fantastic song and Patty sings the best version of this song in my opinion.
Harlan native here. My father lost his left arm in a mining accident. For all that others see as sad , I see as a proud ,hard working people,whom I love so much.
She sings about reality that has been experienced, these mountains are beautiful in Appalachia but there is an ugly side, I’ve been here 56 years and witnessed what she sings so eloquently about.
My grandfather took me to see where there had been an above-ground coal mine, we went at the crack of dawn, crept through a hole in a fence on hands and knees. It was as horrible as you can imagine, nothing lived there, not a frog, not even a bird would fly over it. We came home and I told my great-grandfather about what I had seen, and I asked him, how come you didn't end up having to work there? He said he became a farmer, because he didn't want to be one of those people who were so poor, they couldn't even afford sunshine.
The whole thing is stunning, flawless, unutterably beautiful. If you find time, watch her and Chris Stapleton singing it together at the Kentucky Rising concert or at the CMA awards.
No I'm not from Kentucky. But I am from Georgia. And my great......grandfather was from North Carolina. I heard this song February 2023 for the first time. Cried like a baby in the first 15-20 seconds. Patty just is beyond incredible. I truly have no words. Everything about that song is perfect.
I agree, I'm from Eastern Kentucky. I know you guys have had your sorrows in the coal mines as well and have lost loved ones. I remember in 2010 when we were all waiting...
@@jcqlnr464 any time there's an explosion or collapse we all hold our breath and pray. The Big Branch incident happened right after I started running lines for contractors in the mines
This is about the coal miners in Harlan county Kentucky. They have a an academy award for the movie and documentary both my dad and my grandpa died of black lung even though they got out of Harlan by the time my dad was 21. My grandpa was already sick and my dad is on the way there it’s a hard life, but such good people.
My dad's dad died from black lung the year before I was born. Wish I could've met him. My mom's granddaddy quit the mines when he was still young and got into horse trading. Even though he was 2 years older than my dad's dad, he didn't die until I was 17. Miners live a hard life.
The way I describe Patty's voice in beautiful and haunting. My Papaw ended up with black lung by working in the coal mines.Thank you for reacting to this song.
My father was from Eastern Kentucky and a similar coal history!! She sings accurately! The hills were close enough and high enough that the sun came up late and went down early!
It is a song of sadness and pride in land full of desperate people.There is so much power in Patty’s voice that it brings chills and tears to your soul making your eyes well up and your body fills with emotion.
When Vince Gill lost his brother in the miltary, he wrote a memorial song called Go Rest High On That Mountain. He asked Patty to help him sing it because he wasn't sure he could make it through, and knew she would help him. It is break your heart beautiful.
This song will hit anyone in the feels but when you’re a Kentuckian and you’re here and you know just how bad the effects of the coal mines are it’s so different! I personally believe as a Kentuckian every family in Kentucky has been affected by those coal mines at some point in time. And also no one can sing like Ms Patty she’s a national treasure❤
Amazing song with so much feeling that so many can relate to. Patty Loveless and Chris Stapleton sang “You’ll Never Leave Harlan Alive” at the 2022 CMA. It reminded me of some of my ancestors who worked and died in the coal mines. I feel for all the miners and their families who struggled to exist during this time. They faced horrible working conditions which led to strikes and wars between the miners and the coal companies, health issues like Black Lung, and the ever present danger of death. My grandfather left Caldwell County and went to Coal Creek, TN and worked as a weighmaster at one of the mines. While there he met and married my grandmother. Several members of her family worked in the mines of TN & KY. In 1902 there was an explosion in the Fraterville Mine where 216 men and boys died, making it the worst mining disaster in the state’s history. Several of the miners who died were related to my grandmother. Some of the trapped miners managed to write notes to loved ones as their oxygen was being used up and they knew death was imminent. A monument has since been erected with the names of the miners inscribed and a museum with some of the notes written by the miners. Jacob L. Vowell, who was related to my grandmother, wrote a note to his wife before dying in the mine with his young son. He wrote the following: Ellen, darling, goodbye for us both. Elbert said the Lord has saved him. We are all praying for air to support us, but it is getting so bad without any air. Ellen I want you to live right and come to heaven. Raise the children the best you can. Oh how I wish to be with you, goodbye. Bury me and Elbert in the same grave by little Eddie. Godbye Ellen, goodbye Lily, goodbye Jemmie, goodbye Horace. We are together. Is 25 minutes after two. There is a few of us alive yet. Jake and Elbert Oh God for one more breath. Ellen remember me as long as you live Goodbye darling. Bill Clinton recited Joe Vowell’s farewell letter in one of his speeches. Six Vowells lost their lives in the Fraterville mine. Some of my grandmother’s relatives moved to Harlan, Kentucky where the struggle to make a living continued. Fortunately my grandfather and grandmother did leave the mining town and came home to Burke County where they raised a family, and he farmed, sawmilled, and made a little whiskey.
I love to watch you're face. When Patty started I could see the emotions you were feeling on you're face. Patty is on of those singers that doesn't need a microphone. You should react to Vince Gill and Patty singing Go rest high at George Jones's funeral
Coal mining, especially in the old days is one of the most dangerous occupations that someone could have. The immediate risk is of the mine collapsing, being crushed, and/or buried alive. The long-term effects can be a long painful death. I'm sure all over the world the risks were similar. These communities even today are still some of the poorest, and this would be one of the only jobs in the area. Northeast Pennsylvania has one of the largest coal vein areas in the country. There are currently dozens of coal mines on fire, including Centralia. In those days boys between 8 and 12 years old were made to work, separating impurities from the coal by hand. If they fell into the chutes they were sitting over they could be crushed. She has a beautiful voice and is unrated in my opinion.
I come from a different type of energy type of working family. I personally worked in the oil field my whole life which was very dangerous work at the time. Now days it is a bit safer due to modern equipment and safety regulations. However it was tough work also. Although I am retired now, I suffer from all the injuries I received during that time. Back, neck,, knees just too many to mention. But I made it out alive although I've witness a death or two and have seen crazy things that I don't care to mention. Patty left us a while back, bless her soul. She will be missed greatly. RIP beautiful song bird!
Check out patty and Ralph Stanley, "Pretty Polly". Also Patty and Ricky Skaggs, "Daniel Prayed". Both are bluegrass classics, top of the line. Also, for harmony thats off the charts, Check out Patty and Vince Gill duet "When I call your name", or "pocket full of gold".
Her and Chris Stapleton just performed this song live. You should really go back and watch that performance. It blows this out of the water, and this is great!!
Although I have heard of Patty Loveless, I never heard any of her songs. WOW! I will have to listen to more for sure. Thank you for your reaction. Without you, I might not still have heard her music.
My favorite female county vocalist hands down, saw her at Renfro Valley a couple time, just fabulous in person. You have to know Harlan to appreciate the line about the sun coming up about ten in the morning
I was born, worked and lived in them East Ky coal fields for 40 years. Patty Loveless is great. She has many good songs, I think you would like You don"t even know who I am, and also How can I help you say goodbye.
Patty Loveless: "Here I Am", " I Try To Think About Elvis", "Chains", " You Don't Even Know Who I Am". Now I'm going back and listening to all of her songs! She's amazing! 💗
The sound of this searing lament came straight over with their Scotts-Irish ancestors. Chris Stapleton organized the Kentucky Rising concert to benefit victims of flooding in KY. He asked Patty to sing this with him. Find that version, too. At 65 she still absolutely kills it.
I am still mesmerized by her voice! Favorite performance of mine is her and Vince gill singing Go Rest High on that Mountain at the funeral of legendary George Jones! She and Vince have collabed a lot and their harmony is perfect!
Hey, we don't have too much to do here in the Eastern Kentucky and Southern West Virginia hills. We all grew up coal. My dad and grandpa worked in the mines too. We all grew up around pickers and singers. Many of us can do both.
Wow. The only time I've heard this song was on "Justified," from which I drew a completely different meaning. I've always loved Patty, and this one hit hard. Especially since I just happen to be reading John Grisham's "Gray Mountain," which is about black lung from coal mines.
I've never heard that song before, I seen her live in concert back in 1996 in Atlanta, I love her and her music, but this song, as soon as she opened her mouth I had chills from head to toes,Thank You Sir for your reaction and hope you and your family have a blessed evening ❤️ 🙏
Miranda lambert met Patty on a tour or something like that. They formed a friendship. Her & Patty agreed they both loved sad country songs!! When Miranda was in her hotel room. She wrote a song & hoped Patty would sing it with her on her album & she did!! I've only been able to find a live version in a rickety ole bar. Even in that bar, they sang one called Dear Diamond!! It's a fantastic song!! You really should look into it!!
This song is about my hometown, & about the way of life in the coal country of the Appalachian mountains of Eastern Kentucky & West Virginia. I strongly suggest Go Rest High on That Mountain performed by Vince Gill & Patty live at George Jones funeral service at the Grand old Opry
As a fellow Kentuckian, we are proud that she, like so many Bluegrass singers are from our state. Give a listen to some of Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder, great Bluegrass talent!
My mom got out of eastern Kentucky during WW2 when at 17 she went to work in a munitions plant in Illinois . This song ,and especially Patty Loveless' rendition of it ,really grabs me .
When the Irish came too America they settled in. NORTH CAROLINA, KENTUCKY AND TENNESSEE. They miles coal not knowing how deadly it was. My dad's family lived it too😢
I am from south eastern Kentucky and it's just a hard life for so many that live here. The poverty is heartbreaking. The ground is all hillside and rocks so there's very little soil to grow things and if you can find places to grow things there's only a few hours of sunlight a day because the sun doesn't penetrate the deep hills and ravines.
She also has that soulful twang in her voice, she's another beautiful talented singer I love her voice, should hear her sing Daddies Hands that's another great one💓 much love and respect always 💟💪💕🤗
This is such a hauntingly beautiful song and Patty’s voice is perfect for it. It’s one of my favorite songs of all time. There are other artists that have covered it, Brad Paisley for one but Patty’s is my fav. She’s from Kentucky which is where Harlan is. Patty is a country artist but she released Mountain Soul in 2001 which has songs such as this, more Bluegrass or ‘Mountain music.’ Great review! ♥️♥️
Patty has some talented relatives too. Loretta Lynn (Coalminers Daughter) and Loretta's baby sister, Crystal Gayle (Don't it make My Brown Eyes Blue), are Patty's cousins. Same area but different Hollers. All of Loretta's songs are true stories of her life. Check them both out
Have you ever heard anything so soulful? My Maternal Grandmother was born and raised in Cawood, Harlan County, Ky. She came from a large family and so I have dozens of relatives there. Harlan people are proud, tough and independent.
Patty is a pretty amazing country & bluegrass artist. You may have heard her once singing harmony with Vince Gill on Go Rest High… If you want to explore her faster, playful side, check out her Blame It On Your Heart.
This song has a lot of meaning to people all over Kentucky and probably all of Appalachia. If you are interested, look up the Appalachian coal wars. Or the Battle of Blair Mountain in West Virginia. Miners literally went to war with the coal company and the US Army. It was the largest civilian uprising since the American Civil War. There are two sides to Kentucky, the western part which most people think of, and then there is the coal fields in the East.
I use to listen to her back when she first started singing. She's had an incredible career. Some how I missed this one. As with her other songs I loved it! Kudos to her band too. It was fantastic.
My stepfather worked on the coal mines. Of course he was a millionaire. But he lost everything. But I have been to Harlan. I love it down there. The mountains are so beautiful 😍
Thank you for the great review of this song. Let me say you did it right. So many folks talk way too much and stop way too often to analyze every detail. You paid it the respect it was do, and I thank you for that. Great job!
I love your videos man, but I'm an Anglophile. Great Britain is the US's best friend by far. Glad you got to see this Patty Loveless video. Patty is truly one of the best singers in the world. She belongs right up there with Dolly, Loretta, Tammy, Reba. Just limitless talent that transcends even Country music. I hope you check out her other songs\videos, such as Lonely Too Long, Don't Toss Us Away, as well as her covers of Classic Country Songs. She's indescribably versatile and talented.
Our Family was from the hills & hollows of Kentucky. My dad worked in a coal mine. There were no jobs & even the police wouldn't come out in those hills! Even people like Dolly all had shacks. They would definitely drink bitters & all, including children would sing, dance & play instruments. That's all their was to do! Patty is the one who harmonizes with Vince Gill & sometimes Ricky Scaggs!!
Patty Lovelace loves sad country songs & so does Miranda Lambert. They met on a tour or something & hit it off. Miranda was in a hotel and wrote a song specifically hoping Patty would sing it with her on her album & she did. The only version I've heard was live in some bar. It's called Dear Diamond!! It's beautiful!! Maybe we can get you to pull that one out!! ❤💯

Patty is a first cousin to Loretta Lynn and Crystal Gayle.
All four of my grandparents were from Eastern Kentucky. Fortunately they were farmers rather than coal miners. Still hard, still poor, but healthier.
I'm a doctor in America and I went to medical school at the University of Kentucky which is the state where Harland is. The poverty and the devastation that Americans don't even realize exists in their own country is in the Appalachian Appalachian and Southern counties of Kentucky and I hope people see your video and remember that those people in our own country are suffering in need support and there are still coal miners and there are still people with no running water in that part of our country

Amen Doctor!
I'm Kentucky born and raised. I live just north of Harlan and have been there and the surrounding areas. It's heartbreaking.
Harlan, no D! My mother is from there.
The sadness you hear in her voice is called that “high lonesome sound”, and it’s a hallmark of bluegrass, even in the happier songs. It’s hard to exactly define, but you know it when you hear it.

That sound is referred to as the “high lonesome sound”

I'm sure the mining communities of the British Isles, and beyond, could relate to this tragic story.They could probably relate musically too.
I don't think I would be too far off if I said that Patty Loveless is the Queen of Bluegrass.

Coal mining, especially in the old days is one of the most dangerous occupations that someone could have.
The immediate risk is of the mine collapsing, being crushed, and/or buried alive.
The long-term effects can be a long painful death.
I'm sure all over the world the risks were similar.

Country Music is history.
Check out patty and Ralph Stanley, "Pretty Polly". Also Patty and Ricky Skaggs, "Daniel Prayed". Both are bluegrass classics, top of the line.
Also, for harmony thats off the charts, Check out Patty and Vince Gill duet "When I call your name", or "pocket full of gold".
Patty with Ralph Stanley singing Pretty Polly is well worth listening to , It's Brilliant.
Her and Chris Stapleton just performed this song live. You should really go back and watch that performance. It blows this out of the water, and this is great!!
There is a similarity between bluegrass music and Scottish folk music.
It was the Scot-Irish who settled the Appalachian Mts in the late 1700’s. Convenient to provide a barrier for Native American attacks.

Patty Loveless:
"Here I Am", " I Try To Think About Elvis", "Chains", " You Don't Even Know Who I Am".

The sound of this searing lament came straight over with their Scotts-Irish ancestors. Chris Stapleton organized the Kentucky Rising concert to benefit victims of flooding in KY. He asked Patty to sing this with him. Find that version, too. At 65 she still absolutely kills it.

Hey, we don't have too much to do here in the Eastern Kentucky and Southern West Virginia hills. We all grew up coal. My dad and grandpa worked in the mines too. We all grew up around pickers and singers. Many of us can do both.

I've always loved this song. I think of my two uncles that were coal miners in West Virginia. Patty Loveless has a beautiful voice. Blessings.🙏❤
Miranda lambert met Patty on a tour or something like that. They formed a friendship. Her & Patty agreed they both loved sad country songs!! When Miranda was in her hotel room. She wrote a song & hoped Patty would sing it with her on her album & she did!! I've only been able to find a live version in a rickety ole bar. Even in that bar, they sang one called Dear Diamond!! It's a fantastic song!! You really should look into it!!
This song is about my hometown, & about the way of life in the coal country of the Appalachian mountains of Eastern Kentucky & West Virginia. I strongly suggest Go Rest High on That Mountain performed by Vince Gill & Patty live at George Jones funeral service at the Grand old Opry
Her harmonies with Vince Gill are epic.
"Mountain Soul" by Patty Loveless is my favorite bluegrass album.
It's fantastic. :o)
Another amazing singer from eastern Kentucky!
So many just so many.
Dwight Yoakam is from that area also, he and Patty knee each other in school
As a fellow Kentuckian, we are proud that she, like so many Bluegrass singers are from our state. Give a listen to some of Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder, great Bluegrass talent!
She and Vince Gill back each other a lot in their songs. Harlan is in Kentucky
Great singer and a powerful song!
My mom got out of eastern Kentucky during WW2 when at 17 she went to work in a munitions plant in Illinois . This song ,and especially Patty Loveless' rendition of it ,really grabs me .
You wanted to know who the lady was singing harmony with Vince Gill. This is her.
When the Irish came too America they settled in. NORTH CAROLINA, KENTUCKY AND TENNESSEE.
They miles coal not knowing how deadly it was. My dad's family lived it too😢
I am from south eastern Kentucky and it's just a hard life for so many that live here. The poverty is heartbreaking. The ground is all hillside and rocks so there's very little soil to grow things and if you can find places to grow things there's only a few hours of sunlight a day because the sun doesn't penetrate the deep hills and ravines.
She also has that soulful twang in her voice, she's another beautiful talented singer I love her voice, should hear her sing Daddies Hands that's another great one💓 much love and respect always 💟💪💕🤗
Daddy’s Hands… isn’t that Holly Dunn?
@@KittCrescendo yes that was Holly
@@KittCrescendo It is Holly Dunn. I think Dolly Parton covered that song also but Holly is the one who had the hit.
This is such a hauntingly beautiful song and Patty’s voice is perfect for it. It’s one of my favorite songs of all time. There are other artists that have covered it, Brad Paisley for one but Patty’s is my fav. She’s from Kentucky which is where Harlan is. Patty is a country artist but she released Mountain Soul in 2001 which has songs such as this, more Bluegrass or ‘Mountain music.’ Great review! ♥️♥️
Patty has some talented relatives too. Loretta Lynn (Coalminers Daughter) and Loretta's baby sister, Crystal Gayle (Don't it make My Brown Eyes Blue), are Patty's cousins. Same area but different Hollers. All of Loretta's songs are true stories of her life. Check them both out
My great grand ma knew Loretta when she was young. Never knew those three were related all amazing singers.
Have you ever heard anything so soulful? My Maternal Grandmother was born and raised in Cawood, Harlan County, Ky. She came from a large family and so I have dozens of relatives there. Harlan people are proud, tough and independent.
Patty is a pretty amazing country & bluegrass artist. You may have heard her once singing harmony with Vince Gill on Go Rest High… If you want to explore her faster, playful side, check out her Blame It On Your Heart.
Patty sings backup vocals on quite a few of Vince Gill's songs. The two make a great team! Try "When I Call Your Name" - beautiful!
I like her Duet with Ralph Stanley Pretty Polly.
I recommend "Nothing But The Wheel" and "You Don't Even Know Who I Am".
Patty was the one with the lovely harmony with Vince "When I Call Your Name"
I heard an interview where Vince said no one really paid attention to that song until Patty lent that harmony. Then they couldn’t wait to record it
This song has a lot of meaning to people all over Kentucky and probably all of Appalachia. If you are interested, look up the Appalachian coal wars. Or the Battle of Blair Mountain in West Virginia. Miners literally went to war with the coal company and the US Army. It was the largest civilian uprising since the American Civil War. There are two sides to Kentucky, the western part which most people think of, and then there is the coal fields in the East.
You should hear her harmonize with Vince Gill. Breathtaking.
I use to listen to her back when she first started singing. She's had an incredible career. Some how I missed this one. As with her other songs I loved it! Kudos to her band too. It was fantastic.
This wasn’t released as a single. It’s on her Mountain Soul album. Beautiful right? ♥️
@@jwmson7791 Yes, I thoroughly enjoyed it!
I am from Alabama, My Dad worked in underground mines for 40 yrs. He had Black Lung also.
My stepfather worked on the coal mines. Of course he was a millionaire. But he lost everything. But I have been to Harlan. I love it down there. The mountains are so beautiful 😍
Thank you for the great review of this song. Let me say you did it right. So many folks talk way too much and stop way too often to analyze every detail. You paid it the respect it was do, and I thank you for that. Great job!
She is a queen of bluegrass music. A pure voice
Those twin fiddles, tho!! Patty is an amazing artist!
Try and listen to Patty Loveless and Ralph Stanley singing Pretty Polly. It’s awesome Bluegrass.
Though it's sad, I love this song. Thanks for the reaction.
Harlen is a poor coal mining town in eastern Kentucky
I love your videos man, but I'm an Anglophile. Great Britain is the US's best friend by far. Glad you got to see this Patty Loveless video. Patty is truly one of the best singers in the world. She belongs right up there with Dolly, Loretta, Tammy, Reba. Just limitless talent that transcends even Country music. I hope you check out her other songs\videos, such as Lonely Too Long, Don't Toss Us Away, as well as her covers of Classic Country Songs. She's indescribably versatile and talented.
I love Pattys song Blame it on your Heart. Cute video, too.
Our Family was from the hills & hollows of Kentucky. My dad worked in a coal mine. There were no jobs & even the police wouldn't come out in those hills! Even people like Dolly all had shacks. They would definitely drink bitters & all, including children would sing, dance & play instruments. That's all their was to do! Patty is the one who harmonizes with Vince Gill & sometimes Ricky Scaggs!!
Born and raised in Harlan ! And I left it alive. Southeastern Ky mining County. I’m a Coal miners Daughter.
I live in Harlan County in Kentucky in USA and this is based on coal mining and how dangerous it was and still is.
Patty Lovelace loves sad country songs & so does Miranda Lambert. They met on a tour or something & hit it off. Miranda was in a hotel and wrote a song specifically hoping Patty would sing it with her on her album & she did. The only version I've heard was live in some bar. It's called Dear Diamond!! It's beautiful!! Maybe we can get you to pull that one out!! ❤💯
