Earle, Steve & The Dukes - Ghosts of West Virginia (Black, 150 Gram) Czarface “Yegelle Tezeta”C Side 1Ghosts of West Virginia centers on the Upper Big Branch coal mine explosion that killed twenty nine men in that state in 2010, making it one of the worst mining disasters in American history. When asked about what drove him to craft his deeply evocative new album, Steve Earle says, 'I thought that, given the way things are now, it was maybe my responsibility to make a record that spoke to and for people who didn't vote the way that I did,' he says.
