When you're so good you can do anything you want.

Always amazed at his guitar playing, if you're a player yourself, you realize, just how dynamic and intricate, what he's playing is, it's really masterful, and so pleasing to the ear, it just flows, like water. I also love his songwriting and voice. Truly an all around master, of telling a story, through music.

I think it's not an exaggeration to say that this man is the greatest American singer/songwriter ever.

[grantlewis]

I love this friggin song. What a feeling. Takes you on a journey.

[joyvramos]

I just discovered you today. I can’t get enough of your songs!!! I found you through one of my favorite singer songwriters…. Patty Griffin. Your wonderful songs will be on my new favorite playlist! ♥️♥️

[sandraberg]

Love his heart...I can see it when he sings. Bravo bravo and bravo again

[ottocarbus]

great song, fits to my familie, regards from Germany

[GLMusic]

what a storyteller, what a musician...

[christhomason]

This version of the song is bad ass. The original is awesome and he could have just played it the same way, but I like that he changed it up. It’s stripped down and simpler in some ways, but still complex and he still tells that great story in song. Top notch stuff.

[col.davidcrockett]

What a performer, he makes this song seem like he just walked out of a coal mine. I like this version and Patty’s version both the same cause each brings a little different feel to it but yet both brilliantly done.

Harlan... that's where I trace my bloodline. Very strange to walk though the grave yards and see you name on a headstone. Had lunch with the Mayor who was distant kin from a century ago. An odd and unique experience.

[Quantuman]

Love your music, so much soul and meaning, where can I see you live?

[michaelcraig]

On KDHX 88.1, our local independent station here in St. Louis. You can hear great real stuff like this on this radio station, all day Sat. and Sun. Give them a listen. When did Darrel write this song? Anyone know?

[donalddenison]

Good Version. It doesn't have to be coal or mining, I've seen lumber producing company towns that are at least as rough as Harlan.

[sanibolton]

Awesome - quick question how is your guitar tuned? Cheers

[castorocellars]

Love Darrell but seems he's struggling with the higher notes here....

[lcruce]

He is good but Patti Loveless did this first and is better.
