You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive - Darrell Scott

I've met people from Harlan and I think I'd like to visit. I assure you I would feel more at home with the folks of Harlan than with the wine-sipping, cocaine sniffing, plastic faced/false toothed bunch of superficial snobs bragging about their "portfolios" and other crap that doesn't make a bit of sense to me! I like people who are sincere and down to earth, and who make sense when they talk. Pass the iced tea, please.

Have been to Harlan may times. Many good, hard working people there. The last time I was there...there were many changes. New business and a new mall. A big new four land highway crosses the mountain. My grandfather, great and great great grandfathers were born there.

A beautiful song. A beutiful video. BUT Patty Loveless' is done LIVE and it has an edge that builds to the end. Thanx for that-But Patty's is the best I've seen/heard yet.

this song hit me like a freight train... and i cant say way... i heard it a while ago, and while i liked it, it never registered, never stuck... but tonight, i was watching an episode of the series Supernatural where and entire town of pagen worshipers get wiped out after having tried to kill Dean and a girl, there was a song in the end that somehow reminded me of this one, so i searched it up again... cant say why really , but for some reason the song struck deep this time...

An outstanding voice and brilliant players....and all about a strict injustice that lives here still. But, maybe, not for long.

its a shitty little county that has mine owners who have screwed their employees for years on end with the help of the government and union busters and it still isn't over. sort of like Cape Breton coal miners in my own country. try reading some history

My dad was a coal miner (strip mining) and it was a filthy, dangerous job. I can't even remember how many men were killed while working in Lynville, Indiana in the mines. God bless them.

But the people are good folks.

I first heard this done by Brad Paisley and thought it was great. every version I hear is just as good. It goes to show a Great song is universal.

This is a great song. I've never been to Harlan, but based on this song, I imagine it's a fine place, with good, honest, hard-working people. It's people like that who make this country great.
