79 year old Nimrod Workman's music is very much reflective of his experiences, and in this tape he moves from anecdotes to songs and back again without any sense of self-consciousness or artificiality. Topics covered include coal-mining, the union struggle, black lung, herb gathering and the Hatfield-McCoy feud.
