With Ghosts Of West Virginia, Steve Earle & The Dukes craft a moving tribute to the resilience and history of coal mining communities, centering on the tragic Upper Big Branch coal mine disaster of 2010. Drawing from the rich roots of folk and country, Earle’s storytelling and the band’s evocative musicianship deliver a powerful portrait of pride, hardship, and unity, reflecting the realities of rural America.
This limited edition pressing includes a gatefold insert with lyrics and credits, deepening the listener’s connection to each song’s narrative. Ghosts Of West Virginia stands out not only for its compelling songwriting and heartfelt performances, but also for its focus on honoring those whose lives and communities shaped the modern American landscape.
