    Patty is from Kentucky. She is a cousin of Loretta Lynn who is also from Ky. The. Cumberland Mointains run through Kentucky. Harlan is a mining town in Eastern Ky. It has a brutal history, also known as bloody Harlan. That Bluegrass sound can touch the soul like no other!

    IMO this is the best performance of this great song. Respect to its creator, Darrell Scott. It was a dream come true when Chris Stapleton asked Loveless to perform it with him at the 2022 CMA Awards. And Stapleton, being the quality human being he is and always honoring the music, had Darrell Scott with them on that stage.

    Harlan, Kentucky is located at the confluence of the Clover Fork and Martin’s Fork rivers. These forks join together in Harlan to form the Cumberland River. So, while Harlan itself is not directly on the main stem of the Cumberland River, it is at the point where the river begins.

  • @LP-ck6qx

    The Cumberland reference may be the Cumberland gap, on the border between Kentucky and Tennessee, a gap between the mountains where people could travel through. Or there is a small town near Harlan called Cumberland. The coal mine owners were all out-of-state, wealthy business men. Most of the workers were either immediately local or from throughout the region. There were always worker/owner conflicts and there were numerous battles to unionize. My people were from that region.

    Years ago, mountain folk didn't know what mineral rights were and therefore, sold their rights to the minerals sitting right under their 'feet'. Many thought they were keeping their homes and land. Too late, they found out they "sold" their futures for a few hundred dollars and ended up losing just about everything anyway.

  • @morrigan908
    @morrigan908 5 місяців тому

    West Virginia born and raised. I was in/around the coal industry since I was 14--first working for the company my mom worked for, getting paid under the table to do stuff around the office; then as an analyst and technical writer for a mining contractor; and finally as a paralegal in a mining lawfirm. Watched mining bottom out in the 1980's following the disaster that was the Carter Administration, and it nearly bankrupted my family, because the company Mom worked for nearly folded and couldn't pay their employees for months at a time. Dad's far more more modest salary as a fireman just barely got us through that. Of course I was too young to understand what was going on until I got older and Mom talked more openly about it.
    Coal evenutally rebounded. It rebounded to such an extent that many power plants in the US started switching from coal to natural gas in the early 2010's because bituminous coal prices had risen sharply and natural gas prices were at an all-time low.
    By then, I had moved on to work as a paralegal for the largest mining-related lawfirm in the US. I was the primary paralegal for the firm working on the aftermath of the dust explosion at Massey's UBB mine in 2010 in Raleigh County, WV, that killed 29 of the 31 miners who were in the mine and injured the two survivors.. As part of the evidence, I reviewed pictures of the bodies in the mine as well as autopsy photos and reports. Shortly after, I was offered and accepted a position in a completely different industry, so I've been away from the coal industry for over a decade now. UBB will stick with me for the rest of my life though.
    Edit: They're referring to Cumberland, KY, in this song, a town in Harlan County. Harlan County has a particular significance among mining families and really everyone in this region. The "Harlan County War" or "Bloody Harlan" in the 1930s was an ongoing fight between coal miners and the companies. State and federal troops were brought in to suppress the violence and, to this day, no one is sure how many people--miners, mine owners and foremen, union representatives, sheriff's deputies, troops, hired thugs, and bystanders--died during that decade in Harlan.

    Harlen is in eastern Kentucky. Before mine safety regulations, most died in the mine or from black lung.

    It's interesting to see MrLBoyd become emotional listening to music. There are times when he seems to completely misunderstand a song, but when he gets it, he really gets it; another great reaction was to the Stones Sympathy for the Devil, it's probably the best reaction to that song on UA-cam. Another live video is Patty singing with the bluegrass legend Ralph Stanley doing Pretty Polly. Stanley was in his 80s and still delivered a masterful performance with Patty; definitely a show piece between two of country music's national treasures. ua-cam.com/video/WL-gBlCf0L8/v-deo.htmlsi=Ce0hhQfoQEYmfla3

    “Coal Keeps the Lights On, My hometown keeps food on the spoon in my youngin’s mouth, Tires on the truck and a sundress on my baby girl,” beautifully encapsulates how the livelihood of these communities is sustained by the coal industry.
    The second verse delves into the harsh reality faced by coal miners. With decisions made in Washington to potentially close mines, Rose speaks up for the voices of those affected. He laments how these decisions disregard the “little man” and their calloused hands, symbolizing the hard work and sacrifice made by coal miners. The verse highlights the way of life that has been established for generations and the importance of preserving it.

    MRLBOYD I have suggested many times that you start in Ashland KY and travel to Jenkins Ky on Rt 23 it would allow you to understand this music much better. The Country Music highway is an experience that every person that loves this music should experience.

    Harlan, Kentucky, is southeast part of state, close to the area where West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee converge. Harlan (and surrounding areas) was the site of much strife and violence between coal miners and the coal companies. At one point our own state/federal officials used armed force of law enforcement and other military resources against our own, the miners. There are various books and movies that deal with this subject. "Harlan, Bloody Harlan!"

    I went to Iraq with a guy that was from Harlan Ky. After we got back from our tour of duty he overdosed. It is part of the sound track of a show called "Justified". It's based off a book called Fire in the Hole. Deputy Raylan Givens has his own, Wild West-style methods of upholding justice, putting him at odds with the criminals he hunts and with his bosses in the U.S. Marshals Service. And an incident prompts his reassignment to the Kentucky district where he grew up. It's based in Harlan.
