You’re one of the reasons that I play guitar today, never thought I’d see myself on your channel. Thank you so much!

[jessenisbet]

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

[claycarpenter]

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.

[jamess]

As a father, songs like these hit me so hard. Everything I do is to give my son a better life.

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!

[EvanP_Fitness]

Love this song! Your knowledge and appreciation for music makes your channel the best out there!

[RTJsims]

That song proves that you don’t need to make a complicated instrumentals to have a soul rending powerful ballad. I just became a fan.

[jhall]

Such an amazing artist! I discovered Logan a few months ago. My family is from Eastern Ky & coal mining runs in my family & this song hits hard.

[pennington]

This is big Tyler Childers nose to the grindstone vibes

[NozzleDog]

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.

[Dallas-Rife-UDX--Tennessee]

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” ❤️

[Grizzly_adams]

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.

[UnknownUnknown-bxlc]

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.

[mitchellmfc]

This is your best reaction yet. Really sincere, you played 4 notes. You were so enamored with the music. Very cool

[donnachapman]

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

[jasonarthur]

I love that this song and this artist is able to just capture the raw emotion and feeling of entrapment. So good!

[UnknownUnknown-bxlc]

Came back to listen again... Beautiful. Thanks.
