A note from the producers of Coal Country Music:

We would like to thank the artists, producers, engineers, publishers,
songwriters, record labels, managers, and all of the other creative
and dedicated professionals who made this project possible. They
freely and generously contributed their time, talent, recordings, and
compositions without remuneration, knowing that the proceeds from
this CD will help bring national attention to the devastation of
Mountaintop Removal coal-mining and to the central role the
Appalachian Mountains have played in American history, music, and
culture. We also acknowledge the dependence on electricity we all
share in our private and professional lives. Our intention in producing
this musical compilation is not just to help stop Mountaintop
Removal, but also to help promote renewable and sustainable energy
alternatives and the green jobs they create.

In assembling this compilation we were afforded the luxury of using
existing tracks that had already been produced and engineered by some
of the best in the business. We took no creative or technical role in
shaping these recordings or making them what they are, we merely put
them together on this disc.
Unfortunately, due to the large number of artists participating in
the project, and the exponentially larger number of creative and
technical people involved in producing the many recordings, we were
not able to list full performance, production, and engineering
credits for each track on the CD. In the interest of giving credit
where it's due, we provide as much of that information on this
website as we are able.

We would however like to give a special thank you to Mastering
Engineer Mark Hood at Echo Park Studios in Bloomington, Indiana. Mark
took on the difficult task of fitting together this diverse group of
recordings which came to him in a variety of states. Some of the
songs were from professionally mastered releases, some were
unreleased, and others were little more than demos. Mark did an
amazing job of making them all work together seamlessly. Thank you
also to Kevin Loyal at Echo Park for his assistance with the final editing.

We offer this compilation out of reverence for the natural world that
sustains all life, for the mountains forests, and rivers of
Appalachia that nurtured a nation, and by way of tribute to the
spirit of the people of Appalachia whose dedication and sacrifice
inspired this project.

Thank you,

Andy Mahler and Jason Wilber
