Neal Casal - THE SUN RISES HERE I just can't get Neal's brilliant song "The Last of My Connections" out of my head. Why isn't this man famous?
SONGS AND BALLADS OF THE ANTHRACITE MINERS An amazing collection that captures the actual miners, not professional musicians, singing and playing on these moving songs. Anybody with coal in their blood should hear this.
