She's not kidding about when the sun comes up and goes down. The Appalachian mountains aren't tall, but the hollers are deep. My grandma said they used to call when the sun went behind the mountain in the afternoon, "when the shade comes over". All four of my grandparents were from Eastern Kentucky. This is as much Bluegrass as country. You can hear the influence of the Scots-Irish settlers in the music from the Appalachians.
You have just been introduced to blue grass. Patty always gives me chills especially this song. I'm proud to be from Kentucky. You owe it to yourself to check out Patty and Chris Stapleton doing this at Kentucky rising
I live in Harlan County and love Patty Loveless . I believe she does this song better than anybody else I've ever heard . And she's a Kentucky Native to .
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥You have now heard the best female voice in country music. Mrs.Patty has true mountain soul. It cannot be taught bought or learned….you have it or you don’t. She has it. She is also the lady helping Vince Gill sign “ Go rest high on that mountain”. She could sing the ingredients off of a soup can and make it sound good.She is a gem. Nothing but the wheel and How do I help you say goodbye will bring a tear to your eye.🔥🔥🔥
Appalachian music! Back in those dark hollows in the mountains, that's where this music has lived. Originally brought here by Scot/Irish settlers when this country was founded. You should hear it echo through them mountains friend. Gives me chills remembering it.
I try so hard, but I can't hear this song without crying. My grandpa was born in Harlan, Kentucky, and they eventually moved to Perry County. He was a coal miner as was much of my family there. He and my granny had 5 daughters, all born at home, before they left the miner's shacks and mines for southwest Virginia and a 6th daughter was born. I understood grandpa had "black lung" which is related to the mines. He was also a bluegrass musician and taught us all to play instruments as soon as we were old enough to hold one, and I was playing on stage with my family at age 7. Granny had worked cooking for the miner's before they left Kentucky, and our lives always stayed connected to the mines and Kentucky. I've seen my cousins' faces when they come out at the end of a shift, and all you can see are the whites of their eyes and teeth. Any exposed skin is covered in thick, black as the night coal dust. I can't imagine what the insides of their lungs looked like. And if you ever read about the explosions and miners being trapped underground and how often it occurred, yes, you had to live in desperate poverty to willingly go into that every day. You should watch the documentary movie "Harlan County, USA" for a powerful telling of that life and hauntingly beautiful soundtrack, featuring my favorite "Dark as a Dungeon". Grandpa and Granny both died 10 months apart to the day at age 67, and I miss them so bad, years later...❤ Thank you for shining a light on this beautiful American traditional music from the mountains and hollers of Appalachia. Where people are called "deplorables" in "Flyover, USA" and have been misrepresented and lied about for decades in the media. Nothing could be further from the truth than the way my people have been depicted in movies and television. They are innocent, sweet non-complaining, self-sufficient people whose community is now being decimated by the opioids that were pushed on them by the Sackler family and big pharma, and despite the fact that you will never hear of it, where they have the shortest lifespan in the entire country.
its not an UKULELE, it IS a MONDOLIN ( pronounced man-dough-lin ). Patty is very country no doubt about that, but her voice is so pure and unique that you know its Patty singing. no mistaking her voice for any other !!!
No one sings this song as good as Patti. I think it is because she grew up in this life. Patti is authentic. From the southern appalachians and raised in the culture and the sound of the music. Being raised in the hills of TN, Been hearing this style of music all my life. It is special and magical.
I love that high lonesome bluegrass sound. Patty is a cousin to Loretta Lynn. Both were indeed "born a coal miners daughter". Patty is a passionate advocate working to find a cure for black long disease. Recently she teamed up with Chris Stapleton, Dwight Yoakum & various other artists all born in KY on a tour titled "Kentucky Rising" to raise money for victims of the recent terrible flooding there. I am from Ky and I can tell you she is considered a treasure there. Bless her dear, sweet heart & soul!
One thing you will find in Bluegrass, which this is, the voices are otherworldly. They take Harmonizing to a whole other level. Morgane Stapleton is a prime example but you are just now scratching the surface. Patti, Allison Kraus, Jillian Welch, Emmylou Harris(Even though she was more folk), Dolly. The list is endless and that's just the Ladies.
2022 CMA Awards - Chris Stapleton and Patty Loveless Both their fathers were Coal Miners. It's a great tribute to them. Darrell Scott the writer and Morgane Stapleton are also on stage.
I've been enjoying your country reactions. This is a very personal song for me. My dad worked in the coal mines in Harlan, Kentucky for 16 years before moving to Tennessee. But like Patty's father and grandfather, he never left Harlan alive either. He died of Black Lung in 1987 when I was 15 years old. This song gets me every time.
That's incredible. The hardships that people have endured, like your dad, just to support their families is heartbreaking but admirable. If you haven't already, you should check out "Back Home To Harlan" by Hayde Bluegrass Orchestra (good headphones or speakers definitely help) th-cam.com/video/iMFUIAtZUS4/w-d-xo.html
I hear you! My Mom's dad worked in the mines of Hazard, KY. Then moved up to Illinois and the mines of Taylorville and Decatur. He died of colon cancer in the late '40s most very likely due to ingesting all that coal dust. From all accounts he was quite a man, wished I'd met my grandpa.
I'm from Harlan county Kentucky to . I've never worked inside the mines or outside as far as that goes but I've seen quite a few people die from Black Lung . I love my home and Country and love this reaction .
That and "You don't even know who I am" are both so sad & powerful. Patty is an underrated artist who doesn't get the credit she deserves as an all time great.
My papaw was a coal miner in Harlan. Also ran moonshine. Terrible conditions my daddy had to live in and papaw working in the mines to make $1.72 a week to raise 4 kids. He did leave Harlan alive. But his heart stopped at the age of 63 in Ohio. His goal was to get out of the mines and he did it!
Very similar to my grandfather's story. From the mines in Logan WV to Ohio where he died at 54. The first memory I can put a date on is at age 3, sitting on the floor next to his wheelchair in the hospital a week before he passed.
My husband was killed on a surface coal mine in 2006 in eastern Kentucky. We were 23 and our daughter was almost 3. He had only been on that job site a week. Our daughter just turned 20 Saturday. When she sings this song I get chills.
I was introduced to this song by the tv show Justified…..set in Harlan County. The show became my favorite show ever….and Patty Loveless and this song became staples for me.
By brilliant storytelling, you mean heart wrenching tragedy. Ya can't hear two bluegrass tunes in a row without somebody getting terribly murdered. Or that AKUS song about two babes that die, lost in the woods. I get that song stuck in my brain every time i get an amber alert on my phone. Lol. I'm a mess.
Probably like many, I first heard this song on the "Justified" series (which was my all-time favorite series, until I saw "Yellowstone"). Such a powerful, heartbreaking song.
Any time I hear "Harlan", I'm reminded of the theme song from "Thunder Road" and Robert Mitchum as a moonshine runner. "Roarin' out of harlan, revving' up his mill He shot the gap at cumberland, And screamed by maynordsville With g-men on his taillights, roadblocks up ahead The mountain boy took roads that even angels feared To tread."
This awesome gorgeous woman is the best female country artist of all-time!! I've heard many, many others from several different era's, there are many from way back when, Patsy Cline, Tammy Wynette, The Carter Family, Loretta Lynn, Dolly Pardon.....then there have been the ones hat came out at the same time Patty did, Martina McBride, Gretchen Wilson, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Leann Rimes, then there's a couple decent ones today, Kelly Clarkson, and my minds a blank right now, but not many today!! Patty Loveless never got the recognition, and the respect that she so rightly deserved!! Can't begin to even comprehend the reasons behind any of this, she had hit after MEGA HIT, and every male country singer wanted to cut songs on their new albums with Patty at least singing a couple of songs with them!! Vince Gill and Patty Loveless sang many, many hit songs together, George Jones, and Dwight Yaokum just to name a few. Thanks for the great upload and reaction!! 🎉🎉🎉🎶🎶🎶🎼🎼🎼
Absolutely one of the legends in country music 🎶 hands down Patty is phenomenal 👏🏼 this song was also introduced to the non-country fans on the TV show "Justified" (which was set in Kentucky) it was sang more of a rock/country song but done equally as great ... Many thanks Sebs for going down the rabbit hole of country music which was my childhood ❣️
Hearing this again after many years, made me cry. Patty Loveless has a one of a kind voice. Another good one by her is "You dont even know who I am" thank you for reacting to all these genre's and opening peoples hearts and minds to all the GREAT music out there. Bluegrass is one of my favorite, and hope to hear you listen to more bluegrass groups/singers. One last note, I noticed your walking on treadmill started matching the beat to this song.
Oh man. If you would like another Patty Loveless song that is an absolutely heartbreaking story, go with either "You Don't Even Know Who I Am" OR "How Can I Help You Say Goodbye"
Eastern Kentucky is the most beautiful place on this planet. I'm not from there, but arriving there is an emotional experience every time. And leaving it behind physically hurts. Nowhere like it on earth. Oh yeah, and you should hear her sing "you don't even know who I am."
Great reaction. I"m glad to see Patty Loveless songs making the rounds. If you need something more upbeat, "I Try To Think About Elvis" was a favorite of mine as a kid :)
I've been enjoying your path with Country music. You're reactions seem to be sincere and heartfelt. So I Had to subscribe. Patty has one of the most beautiful voices in the industry (in my opinion). She and Vince Gill harmonize like nobody you've ever heard. Suggesting "Go Rest High on that Mountain" or "When I Call Your Name". Both songs by Vince with Patty's beautiful harmony. Looking forward to more of your reactions.
Harlan Kentucky. Coal mine fatalities in 2020 were 75, fatalities in 2021 was 95. Back in 2017 fatalities were 123, in 2018 1:30, and in 2019 fatalities were $130. In 1917 was the biggest gas explosion 62 of the 253 men that were down there were killed.
I'm from Kentucky the 10 in the morning and 3 in the evening means it is in a hollow ( hills around you). it is the time we live in. Have you ever seen the warrior poet on the times creating the people. easy times makes soft people hard times create tough people. it is a video worth watching.
Just so you know..This is not Country, it's Bluegrass...Patty grew up in the middle of the Bluegrass sound !! 10 to 3 for the sun...You live in a holler in-between mountains and you are lucky to see the sun 4 hours a day.. Bluegrass is played in major and just a few minor chords.. But they sing in so many minor notes to the major chords... For 40 years, Patty was the most sought-after partner for a song !! She won so many awards..
I still have my Daddy's old mandolin. He passed in 1999 at 86 years old. He would have been 110 a few days ago on Groundhog Day. The casing of the mandolin is slightly cracked sadly, but I wouldn't take a million dollars for it. In my memories, I can still hear him play it. His favorites to play were "Wildwood Flower," "Wabash Cannonball," "Your Cheatin' Heart," and "Get Along Home, Cindy, Cindy"!
My Great Great Granddady moved his wife and five children to Texas around the turn of the century. A few years later he went back to sell his property, but he "never left Harlan alive". It was a hard life and mean country. In the old family photos of "old folks", they're in their 30's.
Many people don't realize. The hills in Eastern Kentucky are so tight and close. That's why you don't actually see the sun till 10am once it finally makes it over the mountain. And then it's slipping behind the mountain to the west around 3. Short days in terms of actual exposure to the sun.
Patty is country music royalty, but her bluegrass albums are undoubtedly her best. Definitely check more of her music out. And major props to Carmella Ramsey on the fiddle and harmonies who is a legend in her own right.
Patty Loveless is without doubt my favorite female country and bluegrass artist, throw in Alison Krause as well. You would do well to delve into her music deeper. Not just her bluegrass but also her more contemporary country as well👌🎶🎻
So glad you did this one. And yes this live version is on my playlist! One of my favorite songs of all time. As with others you’ve done, this one is so hauntingly beautiful. “…. spend your life digging coal from the bottom of your grave.” Chills! ♥️♥️
Patty has such range. She has so many poignant songs, but she also has some upbeat fun ones. Check out BLAME IT ON YOUR HEART, I TRY TO THINK ABOUT ELVIS, I'M THAT KINDA GIRL, HURT ME BAD. Additional tear jerkers are HERE I AM, HOW CAN I HELP YOU SAY GOODBYE and of course the g.o.a.t...GO REST HIGH ON THAT MOUNTAIN w/Vince Gill at George Jones' funeral.
This type of music is as old as time. It comes from real life called "spittin words" or "spittin truth". Rap music "spits truth". Blue Grass "spits truth". Folk music "spits truth". Country, rock, Southern rock, Spirituals, Operas and on and on!!! This song and so many others like it makes me appreciate how precious life is!!! Thank you so much for sharing!!! Love from Texas!!!
Great review, you are now into Bluegrass, Patty is marvelous, and still singing. Coal mines were horrible, death traps. Miners were paid in company script, was forced to buy from Company store with prices so high they could never save any thing. They were little more then slaves.
It's not just Harlan that makes many feel like they won't get out. My grandpa grew up in the depression Era in Kansas. Talked about the everyday worry about making it to the next day. And that still kinda continues today. There's a lot of us who don't have the luck, opportunities, or feel they're just trapped by their small hometowns. I felt and seen a little of it from time to time. I've had some crazy luck blow my way given I went to Kenya when I was a teen after a family friend had a spot open on an EF tour. And my folks didn't pay for it, I earned it by working and paying my own way to go. Then after college, I got a chance to work on a dig in South America and to Europe later. But I see it around my hometown at times. Some kids who look like they can't or don't want to leave. Because they don't think they could make it. We're not as hard as grandpa, but we still tough out each day.
Harlan is a county in Kentucky in the middle of coal country. I guess you have never watched the t,v, series Justified which takes place in Harlan County. This style of country music is called Blue Grass for Kentucky Blue Grass, hence the fiddles, banjo, and mandolin. Old time miners followed the coal seam down into the mountain for miles. The new mines strip the whole top off the mountain, called strip mining.
Just watched your reaction again. These people were only tougher because they had no choice. In many, many places - entire states - there were virtually no other jobs. If you weren't underground, you weren't working. I just watched an interview with an 81 year old man who had spent 45 years (!) working in 30-inch mines. That's 30 inches high, so he was on his knees, in mud & water, so far back in a hole that the only light was his lamp. And oh, yeah....there were always rats. For 45 years............Count your blessings.
My dad worked in the coal mines in Kentucky. We were from the hollers (hollows)we speak really southern. There was nothing else to do to make money there. We're talking deep in the hollers! Like Shawney Branch etc.. We ended up going North. Patty Loveless is a terrific harmonizer!! Try her & Vince Gill...When I Call Your Name!! They also performed a song Vince Gill started writing when Country singer Keith Whitley died & finished it when Vince's Brother died called...Go Rest High!! Scam!! 👇👇
I was raised on Blue Grass, Gospel and Country music. My Daddy could play anything with a string, harmonica, organ, piano, etc. The Dobro was my favorite. Amazon music, has a true feel to it.
My grandfather was a preacher. He died when I was 6 from black lung. They said when he was in the ambulance, he rose his hands and looked up and smiled and took his last breath.
Grew below the Mason Dixon line we were migrant workers going to whatever crop needed picked.... Worked all day as kid to turn around at night and snap bean's..... Came up north for be better life.... I go back home every now and again.

"And you spend you life, diggin' coal, from the bottom of your grave." Such a powerful lyric
She's not kidding about when the sun comes up and goes down. The Appalachian mountains aren't tall, but the hollers are deep. My grandma said they used to call when the sun went behind the mountain in the afternoon, "when the shade comes over". All four of my grandparents were from Eastern Kentucky.
This is as much Bluegrass as country. You can hear the influence of the Scots-Irish settlers in the music from the Appalachians.
Shout out to all my fellow Kentuckians and all coal mining families who lost a loved one to black lung.Big hugs!🫂
Thanks from wv
@@djt8518 I've been to West Virginia a few times.Absolutely beautiful Picturesque mountain scenery.
Hello from Kentucky 👋🏻 that’s where I’m from Louisville
@@Luv_my_cats Hello neighbor! I'm right down the road in Elizabethtown.
Hey from Paducah, halfway between Money's Eyebrow and Possum Trot!
You have just been introduced to blue grass. Patty always gives me chills especially this song. I'm proud to be from Kentucky. You owe it to yourself to check out Patty and Chris Stapleton doing this at Kentucky rising
Ky proud here too!
Patty Loveless and Chris Stapleton also performed this single at the 2022 CMA Awards in November, as well...along with Morgane Stapleton.
Me too. I love our lonely but precious hillsides.
I live in Harlan County and love Patty Loveless . I believe she does this song better than anybody else I've ever heard . And she's a Kentucky Native to .

Totally agree! It's more Blue grass but in our eyes Blue grass & Country go together like salt & pepper! Great job
This is bluegrass in its purest form❤
And, You don't even know who I am ♡
Appalachian music! Back in those dark hollows in the mountains, that's where this music has lived. Originally brought here by Scot/Irish settlers when this country was founded. You should hear it echo through them mountains friend. Gives me chills remembering it.
Both my grandfathers mined coal in the Appalachian mountains. So true about the sunrise and sunset.

After the next big war this is the kind of music we will be blessed with. Once the electricity is gone real music and musicians will be appreciated.
I’m from Harlan 3rd gen coal miner 26 yrs. Lot of truth in this song. So many good hard working folks there.
She just did this on an awards show with Chris Stapleton and her voice is still just as powerful. I think there is a TH-cam video of it

I honor your Dad for his courage in working in the mines to provide coal to heat our homes and for keeping the lights on. I'm sorry for your loss.
If you want a tear jerker - listen to Patty sing "How can I help you say goodbye" It gets me everytime - love your reaction videos 😊
Definitely one of my all time favorites
that is one of the all time most heartfelt songs of love and loss ... it makes you feel any loss / goodbye all over
That and "You don't even know who I am" are both so sad & powerful. Patty is an underrated artist who doesn't get the credit she deserves as an all time great.

You should do "You don't even know who I am" and "How do I help you say goodbye" by Patty, great song her voice and range is fantastic.

This is actually bluegrass, you should do a little rabbit hole diving into that genre. Rich history and remarkable storytelling.
Chris Stapleton started out in Bluegrass, Steeldrivers. You cant fake it in Bluegrass!!
@@csutton161 my wife introduced me to bluegrass years ago, been hooked ever since.
By brilliant storytelling, you mean heart wrenching tragedy. Ya can't hear two bluegrass tunes in a row without somebody getting terribly murdered. Or that AKUS song about two babes that die, lost in the woods. I get that song stuck in my brain every time i get an amber alert on my phone. Lol. I'm a mess.
Bluegrass is really interesting, because it's basically a different rural version of blues/soul.
This is the real deal, genuine bluegrass country style music!
Probably like many, I first heard this song on the "Justified" series (which was my all-time favorite series, until I saw "Yellowstone"). Such a powerful, heartbreaking song.

dobro
Yeah that’s a dobro

Harlan Kentucky. Coal mine fatalities in 2020 were 75, fatalities in 2021 was 95. Back in 2017 fatalities were 123, in 2018 1:30, and in 2019 fatalities were $130. In 1917 was the biggest gas explosion 62 of the 253 men that were down there were killed.
The pride we have for our state and how it became what it is today is extremely great. This song gives me goosebumps every time
I'm from Kentucky the 10 in the morning and 3 in the evening means it is in a hollow ( hills around you). it is the time we live in. Have you ever seen the warrior poet on the times creating the people. easy times makes soft people hard times create tough people. it is a video worth watching.
That amazed look on his face... That's what Patty Loveless will do to you. Absolutely a legend and wonderful human.
Just so you know..This is not Country, it's Bluegrass...Patty grew up in the middle of the Bluegrass sound !! 10 to 3 for the sun...You live in a holler in-between mountains and you are lucky to see the sun 4 hours a day.. Bluegrass is played in major and just a few minor chords.. But they sing in so many minor notes to the major chords... For 40 years, Patty was the most sought-after partner for a song !! She won so many awards..
The music of the American people ,
Bless your heart 😂😂 "is that an 8 string ukulele?" Nah that would be the mandolin! It's a gorgeous instrument, usually used in bluegrass💕
I still have my Daddy's old mandolin. He passed in 1999 at 86 years old. He would have been 110 a few days ago on Groundhog Day. The casing of the mandolin is slightly cracked sadly, but I wouldn't take a million dollars for it. In my memories, I can still hear him play it. His favorites to play were "Wildwood Flower," "Wabash Cannonball," "Your Cheatin' Heart," and "Get Along Home, Cindy, Cindy"!
Such a mesmerizing performance. I have watched it many times and it always hits me that way.
Im from Harlan County Kentucky and proud of my Home and Love Patty Loveless .
Another great bluegrass song by Patty Loveless and Ralph Stanley is Pretty Polly. A true bluegrass masterpiece.
If you enjoy this, check out Allison Kraus and Union Station. I promise you’ll be blown away.
I first found this song through the TV show Justified. But they used the cover by Brad Paisley. I personally think he did it amazingly as well.
My Great Great Granddady moved his wife and five children to Texas around the turn of the century. A few years later he went back to sell his property, but he "never left Harlan alive". It was a hard life and mean country. In the old family photos of "old folks", they're in their 30's.
Many people don't realize. The hills in Eastern Kentucky are so tight and close. That's why you don't actually see the sun till 10am once it finally makes it over the mountain. And then it's slipping behind the mountain to the west around 3. Short days in terms of actual exposure to the sun.
Patty is country music royalty, but her bluegrass albums are undoubtedly her best. Definitely check more of her music out. And major props to Carmella Ramsey on the fiddle and harmonies who is a legend in her own right.
Patty does this song with Chris Stapleton and his wife Morgan live on the CMA awards that’s awesome
This is a song by the Americana poet songwriter Darrell Scott .... But Patty's voice was built for this soul crusher.
Proud Kentuckian here. My Daddy died of black lung. He was a coal miner. I love you Patty.
Patty Loveless is without doubt my favorite female country and bluegrass artist, throw in Alison Krause as well. You would do well to delve into her music deeper. Not just her bluegrass but also her more contemporary country as well👌🎶🎻
Patti Loveless is a treasure
Check out "Hurt me Bad" and "Timber I'm Falling in Love" also by Patty Loveless.
I am from Kentucky and so proud of it!
Legend!!!
So glad you did this one. And yes this live version is on my playlist! One of my favorite songs of all time. As with others you’ve done, this one is so hauntingly beautiful. “…. spend your life digging coal from the bottom of your grave.” Chills! ♥️♥️
Patty has such range. She has so many poignant songs, but she also has some upbeat fun ones. Check out BLAME IT ON YOUR HEART, I TRY TO THINK ABOUT ELVIS, I'M THAT KINDA GIRL, HURT ME BAD. Additional tear jerkers are HERE I AM, HOW CAN I HELP YOU SAY GOODBYE and of course the g.o.a.t...GO REST HIGH ON THAT MOUNTAIN w/Vince Gill at George Jones' funeral.
Patty has a unique voice you need to listen to more of her song's of yesteryear
Grammy worthy performance.
You need to watch the version of this she did last month at the country awards with Chris stapelton.Amazing
This type of music is as old as time. It comes from real life called "spittin words" or "spittin truth". Rap music "spits truth". Blue Grass "spits truth". Folk music "spits truth". Country, rock, Southern rock, Spirituals, Operas and on and on!!! This song and so many others like it makes me appreciate how precious life is!!! Thank you so much for sharing!!! Love from Texas!!!
No one sound like Patty. Wonderful mountain voice. From the Ozarks Mts person. Much in common with way of living except coal mining.
Great review, you are now into Bluegrass, Patty is marvelous, and still singing. Coal mines were horrible, death traps. Miners were paid in company script, was forced to buy from Company store with prices so high they could never save any thing. They were little more then slaves.
It's not just Harlan that makes many feel like they won't get out. My grandpa grew up in the depression Era in Kansas. Talked about the everyday worry about making it to the next day.
And that still kinda continues today. There's a lot of us who don't have the luck, opportunities, or feel they're just trapped by their small hometowns. I felt and seen a little of it from time to time. I've had some crazy luck blow my way given I went to Kenya when I was a teen after a family friend had a spot open on an EF tour. And my folks didn't pay for it, I earned it by working and paying my own way to go. Then after college, I got a chance to work on a dig in South America and to Europe later.
But I see it around my hometown at times. Some kids who look like they can't or don't want to leave. Because they don't think they could make it. We're not as hard as grandpa, but we still tough out each day.
Harlan is a county in Kentucky in the middle of coal country. I guess you have never watched the t,v, series Justified which takes place in Harlan County. This style of country music is called Blue Grass for Kentucky Blue Grass, hence the fiddles, banjo, and mandolin. Old time miners followed the coal seam down into the mountain for miles. The new mines strip the whole top off the mountain, called strip mining.
Love me some Patty L. growing up in the 90’s:)
I forgot about this song. She’s amazing!!
Your reactions are so compassionate and real.
Just watched your reaction again. These people were only tougher because they had no choice. In many, many places - entire states - there were virtually no other jobs. If you weren't underground, you weren't working. I just watched an interview with an 81 year old man who had spent 45 years (!) working in 30-inch mines. That's 30 inches high, so he was on his knees, in mud & water, so far back in a hole that the only light was his lamp. And oh, yeah....there were always rats. For 45 years............Count your blessings.
I think you’ll love “Go Rest High On That Mountain” by Vince Gill, which features Patty Loveless soaring on the high harmony.
Yes she’s amazing addition to the shortlist of the amazing women of country
High and lonesome. Pure bluegrass.
My dad worked in the coal mines in Kentucky. We were from the hollers (hollows)we speak really southern. There was nothing else to do to make money there. We're talking deep in the hollers! Like Shawney Branch etc.. We ended up going North. Patty Loveless is a terrific harmonizer!! Try her & Vince Gill...When I Call Your Name!! They also performed a song Vince Gill started writing when Country singer Keith Whitley died & finished it when Vince's Brother died called...Go Rest High!! Scam!! 👇👇
Do not click that prize thing! It's a major scam! Not by Sebs or me! They're hitting all reactors over & over!! It needs to be taken care of asap!!
Scam!! 👇 Do not click!!
Patty loveless is one of my favorite female singers
Hauntingly beautiful true story of her family. Beautiful.
You are the only one that I watch your videos on a regular basis. Best in the business.
Her duet with Vince Gill would blow your mind. "When I call your name"
My Father was raised in Pike County Kentucky. I was raised on bluegrass!
This is Scots-Irish music. A good song tells a story. That's how they passed stories to us.
I was raised on Blue Grass, Gospel and Country music. My Daddy could play anything with a string, harmonica, organ, piano, etc. The Dobro was my favorite. Amazon music, has a true feel to it.
This is Bluegrass.. Country and Bluegrass cross a lot. Great reaction, this is one of my favorite songs.
A song with 3 epic female country singers with beautiful harmonies, "The Sweetest Gift " with Dolly Parton, Linda Rondstat, and Emmylou Harris.
More than epic female singers! They are all national treasures, icons, country royalty and legends. They can do it all.
Agree 💯
And their two Trio albums, every song a gem.
My grandfather, father, and uncles were all coal miners and moonshiners in Martin County, Kentucky.
People from Kentucky are very talented. Theres alot of great singers from Kentucky especially from Eastern Kentucky. Also some actors as well.
Listen to Vince Gill's Go Rest High On That Mountain w/Patty Loveless and Ricky Skaggs---AMAZING!.
Love Patty
"homie's playing the slider with the guitar down" I don't know why that cracked me up so much, but just so you know, he's playing a dobro.
My grandfather was a preacher. He died when I was 6 from black lung. They said when he was in the ambulance, he rose his hands and looked up and smiled and took his last breath.
Grew below the Mason Dixon line we were migrant workers going to whatever crop needed picked.... Worked all day as kid to turn around at night and snap bean's..... Came up north for be better life.... I go back home every now and again.
This type of Kentucky bluegrass always ends on an up note, with the joyful music at the end, no matter how sad the words may be.
