"The Working Men & Women of the Mines"
is a
25 track CD produced as a
tribute to all coal miners. It contains legendary coal mining songs
such as "Dark as a Dungeon" and "Nine Pound Hammer" sung
by Johnny Cash* and who
could forget the 1961 #1 hit "Big Bad John" by Jimmy Dean*. This CD
also contains original songs and spoken words by Mel Shaw and coal miners
from Jim Walter Resources, Inc.'s No. 4 Mine in Brookwood, Alabama.
These coal miners sing back-up to The Jordanaires in "Amazing Grace" and
tell their own stories about their careers in some of the deepest coal mines
in North America. JWR's own Jimmie Hyche performs a song he wrote,
"Brookwood to Birmingham" about his grandfather's life as a coal miner and
farmer. And what would a tribute CD be without "Coal Miner's Daughter"
written by Loretta Lynn. Kim Byram, a true coal miner's daughter (her
father is Dale Byram - JWR Training Center) performs this historic coal
mining song. The song was recorded at Loretta Lynn's studio in
Hurricane Mills, Tennessee with Britt Payne on drums (Britt's father is Paul
Payne - JWR No. 5 Mine). Order your copies today! *Master tracks under license from Sony Music Custom Marketing Group, a division of Sony Music, a group of Sony Music Entertainment Inc.
