More than just a few southern West Virginia coal mining towns are just a ghost of what they were back when coal was king! This song I hope captures the lament of many.

I wrote this song when I saw what I thought was irresponsible methods used to drill for gas where I live. I am not anti-progress. I'm am against the irresponsible destruction of nature, however. I am playing all the instruments in the song and doing all the vocals. Over 90% of the photos were shot in McDowell County, West Virginia.

This song was written about a true story that happened right in my home town of Welch, WV. David Grubb and I wrote the song. We are both McDowell County natives. My daughter, Jessi Shumate, helped me sing the song and Nathan Lawson played the banjo. I played all the rest. I hope you enjoy.
