WORK: THE MINER'S LAMENT

Charlie Parr- Miner's Lament

[purchase]

I thought I'd follow my post of Sixteen Ton's with another about the plight of the miner. Making my posts this week sort of a mini-theme inside of a theme.

Duluth, Minnesota's, Charlie Parr plays a self-taught version of the Piedmont Blues that sounds like it’s hopped right off an Al Lomax field recording and into your living room. He has six albums to his name including 2004's King Earl which features this particular song.
