Another Great CD of Coal Mining Songs

There have been numerous collections released through the years of songs and recordings paying tribute to, and telling the stories of coal miners, their families, and their work. This collection features a couple of traditional songs about coal mining, but mostly Breiding did a great job writing his own collection.

From songs about being a union miner to songs about specific events in the history of West Virginia coal mining, a traditional instrumental bluegrass standard brought to Appalachia by the Irish immigrants who worked the mines, and songs recounting specific strikes and disasters, The Unbroken Circle is an exquisite tribute to the history and struggles of the American coal miner.
