Matewan: Blood and Coal
A haunting Appalachian ballad of love, loyalty, and loss set against the mine wars of Mingo County, West Virginia. “Matewan: Blood and Coal” tells the story of Cabel, Jessie, Jackson, and Smilin’ Sid — ordinary people caught in the shadow of company gunmen, coalfields, and promises made before history turned bloody. From a quiet porch swing after church to the streets of Welch, this song remembers the human cost behind the headlines and the love that endured through grief. Written and performed by Kevin Corley, this is a story of Matewan, sacrifice, and the people the mountains never forgot.
