Logan Halstead I cant tell you how many times I've listened to this song since I first heard it a few months back. Powerful stuff. You have great things ahead of you man, can't wait to get more awesome music from you!!!
feel this song so much, keep at it! your amazing and the song is really meaningful to others! I dont do coal mining but tree work and it relates in many ways ! thank you
My husband plays this and I sing to it. And every time, I cry. With sadness and pride and love and hopelessness and a ton of hope. This is all in one for me. Love ya'll
I love seeing Logan getting more recognized. He popped up in a recommendation and it open the flood gates to Tyler Childers, Sturgill Simpson, Billy Strings, Whitey Morgan and the 78's, Marcus King. I didn't know there was so much good music you don't hear about.
Ya I don't mean to hate but a lot of the vocal patterns, cadence, guitar, and lyrical content is just a copy of nose to the grindstone. I knew someone else would pick up on it too
As I stand here leaning over my kitchen counter crying listening to this song, The thought hit me That no one can understand what this man is singing about unless you grow up in Or Or near a coal town. Everybody knows somebody that's died in the mines. My uncles owned the Sago mines were the 13 miners got killed. It's in my blood, it's in Logan's blood. It's in his dad's blood, It was in my dad's blood so thick that it took into his grave. I went to high school with Logan's dad in mom. Dark black cold, take my soul, I Dark black cold, take my soul, I owe it to you anyway.
Bruh at like 2:08 your entire face changes. You're just grooving to the guitar and then you hear his voice and you zone tf in! Love it. Logan is so talented!
Been a rough month for me and this song, plus the encouragement at the beginning, has really helped me today. Thank you for the change of pace and perspective today.
Been waiting for this one. Logan’s doing some incredible stuff. Glad to hear a voice like his. Shout out to the person that recommended this for review.
I’m from WV and for you to post this was AWESOME of you I just ran across him today I’ve posted a couple of his songs he’s really good I also posted yours here Thank you so very much
I’ve been watching this guy’s videos for a few weeks/months and I gotta say, I could hang with this dude. His knowledge and passion are inspiring. And even though he’s got crazy skills he approaches everyone he meets with a humble respect as if they might have something he can learn from them.
You make me discover so much beautiful songs and artists ! A big thanks to you and your community. I’m from Quebec and i love the American country culture ❤
Just discovered your channel, love it. Just discovered Logan Halstead, amazing musician. at the 6:00 minute mark, your reaction to his words was so genuine. Sometimes ill hear a song and the words hit me like a ton of bricks. Always been a huge lover of lyrics. Awesome video.
Love seeing Logan start to grow my little brother was childhood friends with him and he lived up our road. Was always a great kid and still a good man! Also great musician, far better than I’ll ever be.
This one reminds me of “You’ll never leave Harlan alive” that’s been done by a number of artists but none better than Patty Loveless. A haunting song, but beautiful
These words are so deep. Many people just don’t realize the heaviness of them. Here in WV we have oil fields and coal. My husband goes to work every day not knowing if he will come home. I almost lost him a few times. 1 on a pad he went to every day and that 1 day while almost to that pad he was turned around to get to a pad with an alarm going off on it. The pad he was suppose to be on blew up minutes later. Another time him and our best friends always rode into work together that afternoon they drove home with out our fiends wife. It’s dangerous work and in WV it’s all we have really. But those words man are so profound to me. I never know if this day will be the last time I see him. They work these souls 6 days a week. But the shoulder to shoulder is so real. They’re there for each other in tragedy. If something happens to another man’s family they take care of them for them. It’s a hard life but it’s our life and I love how bonded they all are even if we don’t know another. God bless thank I for choosing this song.
Remember John Prine's Paradise --- "When I was a child my family would travel Down to Western Kentucky where my parents were born And there's a backwards old town that's often remembered So many times that my memories are worn And daddy, won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County Down by the green river where paradise lay? Well, I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away Well, sometimes we'd travel right down the Green River To the abandoned old prison down by Adrie Hill Where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with our pistols But empty pop bottles was all we would kill And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County Down by the green river where paradise lay? Well, I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away Then the coal company came with the world's largest shovel And they tortured the timber and stripped all the land Well, they dug for their coal 'til the land was forsaken Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County Down by the green river where paradise lay? Well, I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away When I die, let my ashes float down the Green River Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester dam I'll be halfway to Heaven with paradise waitin' Just five miles away from wherever I am
Check Out Sturgill Simpson's version that was just released this last week ... It will be on the 2 volume of the "Broken Hearts & Dirty Windows" series due out this fall ... Oh Boy records is releasing a single from the album every month until its release date ...

It’s not just a concept , it’s real . I saw it , lived it , and when I graduated high school in 93 ,, I joined the Marines and never went back . I refused to put myself in that spot after what I saw my dad go through and all my friends parents . I chose to take my chances dodging billets or dying in a desert than underground mining that black coal . Thanks for mentioning Dwight ,, he’s my all time favorite . 28 years later ,, living in middle Tennessee,, I have no regrets , proud of where I came from , but I found a way out and never went back . I love acoustic guitar , I play around a little but I don’t really play like I want . So I live through you guys . Great content , great channel it seems , I’ll hit subscribe and give you a spin . God Bless Merica 🇺🇸💪,, “now play me something you mean from the heart” ❤️
Love that Yokem song off his acoustic album, you mentioned (whole album is great). I like them coal songs also like Cash’s L&N don’t stop here anymore, Loading Coal and Jim & Jessie’s (The Virginia Boys) version of Paradise. This Kid sounds like the real deal, glad RU-vid is good for something like showcasing these talented up and comers.
I’ve already seen plenty of comments saying this, but gonna throw it out there that you should check out Cole Chaney. A guy from the same area that has that gritty and emotional voice along with great songwriting. I’d check out “Coalshooter” or “The Flood”
I was literally typing out the same thing and then this caught my eye.... those eastern Kentucky boys are killing it lately. One of my favorites and Cole is a great guy period.
Ummmm. This is fucking phenomenal. Let’s get someone to sponsor us to make a mini doc about this kid and we’ll put it on your channel. My god. He’s so fucking good.
Logan’s from the same state as me and I’m pretty sure is from the county beside me so this song represents all of our lives in West Virginia and just in the Appalachian mountains in general
I had a fill valve bust on my second floor and it flooded the whole house while i was at work. I came home with water coming out both ends of my house and parts of my ceiling on the first floor were collapsed. Took over 9 months to get everything back to normal. I know the pain you are going through man. It sucks but I am sure you will make it through alright. For me I was able to make some upgrades to the flooring and other things in the house so now it feels more like home than before :)
I remember when you were talking about a documentary you watched about the opioid epidemic. Well there is one about Boone county. I don't know it that's the one you watched, but that is where he is from and his song far away touches on that. My favorite song by him is coal River.
Thanks for putting me on to thus young gentleman, Appalachia really is forgotten, I miss it but I don't. Also I think this guy is from Boone WV, my girlfriend is West Virginian, when she was 16 years old 30 miners died under the mountain in her town , digging to line the pockets of the company. Justin Townes Earl has a great take on it, called "Lone Pine Hill"
I want to write a song like this. My father has worked for everything he’s got, dealt with me and my brother (who has Apert’s syndrome), works night shifts as a train dispatcher 10:00pm-7:00am, can barely get 6 hours of sleep on the weekends, 3 on a good day during the week, refrains from drinking or losing his temper, comes and works out in the yard with me because he doesn’t want me to feel burdened to take up adult roles while both of my parents have to pay attention 24/7 to my brother. I love my father and respect a man of faith and hard work no matter what condition he is in♥️👊🏻.

I just found your page bc of this song been playing since I was 15 and I'm 24 now, but anyhow could you please do a video of the acoustic picking video
Hang in there Micheal,I also raised 4 boys!!! Manic will be a state of being,till they hit their stride later in the teens (if then!).Thats why I bounce from classical to death-metal and everything in between! Your doing a great job,thanks for the periods of sanity. Peace from an aging hippie guitar player in Ct.
Hey just watched your review on Logan and decided to subscribe. You are the first channel I have ever subscribed to. I would really like to hear your take on kellen smith cheat grass and clover. I really dig how you like doing song with authenticity. I just stumbled across kellen smith and cheat grass and clover. I am a Rancher and his song hit home deep. Love to hear your take. Thank you and god bless
Ryan Adams 200 More Miles if for nothing else... the story it tells. I was today years old when I discovered your channel and truly think you will dig it BIG!
I don't know how to link videos into comments but check out Logans song "far from here"!!! You'll love the detail of the opening line. "When my lips turn cold and purple, and I take my last breath". Love your reaction to these guys!!! I don't know the first thing about playing guitars but I really enjoy your videos.
It’s good to know I’m not the only one that gets in ruts when it comes to practicing guitar I didn’t start learning to I was 47 I’m 50 I learn a lot in the beginning but I’ve been not playing like at first
Man you gotta do a whole deep dive on the Pembroke Pines, FL 5/22/77 Help on the way>Slipknot!>Franklin's Tower seriously one of the best versions I know of that jam. Full of Phil bombs, and Jerry voids. Gotta give it a go for personal, video would just be awesome.
I only ever watch you when I'm drunk because you're the most wholesome RU-vid channel next to Townsend's and Steve1989, but you don't make me hungry. This makes my soul happy.
Shameless back-pat, a month ago on Boston Levi's video I dropped a "check out Logan Halstead- Cole river" it's great do that one now that he's on your radar
please please check these ones out. You will truly love them and have fun with them. Heading South by Zach Bryan, South Side of Heaven by Ryan Bingham, and finally On The Run by Warren Zeiders. This would make me very happy to see you do these
I’m from WV and to come from Boone County or anywhere in the coalfields, and make it- that’s an accomplishment. If anyone doesn’t believe this about Boone County, look up the Wild and Wonderful Whites. I love West Virginia and I live near the Boone County line on Coal river so I mean no shade.
Logan is a great singer I love seeing other folks from West Virginia getting recognized besides the whites of West Virginia we are more then that. Keep it up Logan. Stay away from Nashville keep your own work.
