...when the wheels won't role.

thanks pauly. didnt do any looking to find out, but is this your own personal driving footage? great idea to put that there. i also wonder where it is im looking at in the footage. its hard to explain but theres something really great about joyriding, if youre into that. with your best friend or girl, driving around watching the world outside pass by. feels great."just to get a little brew, just to get a little brew"deep respect to all the others who have done this song, but this versions my favorite

Brilliant! Appalachian coal miners still have to fight daily for a safe workplace.To hear how miners who make safety complaints today are treated by non-union coal operators, check out Raymond Crooke's song "Big Coal Don't Like This Man At All" on YouTube. It tells the true story of Kentucky coal miner Charles Scott Howard, who stood up for safety at a mine operated by Arch Coal and was fired as a result. He filed a whistleblower case, won his job back, and is working in the mines again!

I like this version by Townes. Wish I could-a seen him live. I am more familiar with John Prine's take, which is way up tempo on the Sweet Revenge LP. I have to agree with bth2458: "Townes' take allows the mind to conjure hearing this on a jukebox at a roadhouse bar, off of some secondary highway in New Mexico." And I would add to that: "While tasting some fine Tequila"...

Doc Watson and the Monroe Brothers did beautiful versions of this one too, but Townes' take allows the mind to conjure hearing this on a jukebox at a roadhouse bar, off of some secondary highway in New Mexico.
