There's a folk/rock/bluegrass musician here in Minnesota called Reina del Cid. She records a lot of videos that she puts up on Youtube, not just of her own stuff but covers too.

Some of the covers are pretty much what you'd expect:

Some of the covers are a bit more unexpected:

I paid an arm and a leg to some Stubhub scalper a couple years back and we took a road trip to Philly to see him on the start of his Tree of Forgiveness tour. Show owned, and I'm even more thankful now that we pulled the trigger when we did. Absolutely joyful on the stage, even after almost 50 years.

The Skeeters are pretty good and very Waylon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDxv-GeJsNM

Steve Earle is good too. 'The Mountain' is a fantastic album- a little bluegrassy. 'Copperhead Road' and 'Guitar Town' are both still great albums 25 years later.

Oh yeah Train A Comin' is good, too.

This is a tough one. He will be so very missed.

What the gently caress

e: I had tickets to see him in April before they got cancelled. I leaned p heavily on his music for the last decade and was super pumped to be able to see him play.

I can't imagine what his family's going through.

Was he sick? That’s pretty shocking. Guy was talented.

I hadn't realized it but I just saw some vids on YT of a couple of his shows from the last year. Looks like he was struggling pretty badly.

Yeah, and that's why I left Coal Miner's Daughter off my list. It's totally reasonable to be proud of coming from a hard trade background through region and family, especially when that trade is something that provides for people's needs one way or another. Tyler Childers and Sturgill Simpson both allude pretty explicitly to that part of the struggle in their songs. And like so many trades that are defining and dominating for the region, poor families often don't have a way to not be part of it, so why not take pride in what you've been dealt in life. Where I come from, there's chicken farming and timber. If your family doesn't have means and you're not a superstar student, you will have a hard time leaving the region and likely spend a lot of your life working in a chicken plant or driving a pulpwood truck or working in a paper mill.

Industries that exploit and damage natural resources and the people are never so simple as to be painted all good or all bad. You can be deeply and inescapably part of the system, hate it and want to leave it, resent what it's done to your land and your people, want better for the people you work with and for, and be proud of the work you do in it. Yeah, coal mining is pretty clearly bad and we need to not do it anymore, but the people who do it aren't bad just because that's one of the few options they had to make a living. It really is a perfect industry to write country music about.

Got a li'l collection of books that address this area and its music, especially with regard to the coal:


A lot of overtly workers' rights songs came out in the middle of the last century, but I'll throw in (more folk than country, probably)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgmewUP-E-w
or anything Woody Guthrie or Pete Seeger were involved in
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcddbibYMCc
Billy Bragg has a lot of Woody covers and originals that are extremely pro-union
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enZ6MSFc1f0
or any "Ballad of John Henry" song from the last century you like
