about

Evan: All eighth-graders in West Virginia are required to take a course in the state’s history. The curriculum, however, avoids any serious treatment of our storied labor history—of Matewan or Blair Mountain, of Mother Jones or Sid Hatfield, of Hawks Nest or Buffalo Creek. Nor is there any discussion of the ecological devastation that continues to this day. So instead, our narrator (almost certainly an “old-timer”) takes his audience (almost certainly captive) to school. Many of us were not so lucky; it wasn’t until college that I first brushed up against this “buried” history. But if ghost stories teach us anything, it’s that burying something unpleasant is never the end of the matter. Like the ghosts in all of the folk tales, these events continue to haunt us today. As does the Sabbath tune similarly buried in this track.
