about

We became intrigued in our last year of college with protest music and began to write songs reflecting our present-day lives and the issues facing our world. We are friends of coal, mountains, and miners and felt compelled to write this song in respect to all of them. Throughout our travels in the region we’ve seen the degradation of strip mining to the land as well as the deep miners that have lost employment due to lack of job stimulus through mountaintop removal. The way we see it, it would be just as productive to plant cigarette trees to burn down the forest rather than clear-cut the land. This song is a smack in the face to the moneyman who wants to render our land lifeless. Big Ole King Coal, you may keep the lights on, but we can knock your lights out.

(Linda Jean Stokley)
