Tin Tin KaCHING! Just like the sound of a hammer hitting the coal beneath the ground, Josh Slone & CoalTown hit pay dirt with their new single, ‘Virginia Bound’. I love it – Gracie Muldoon, WorldwideBluegrass.com.
The boys from CoalTown sing about what they know. It is true roots music from the coal mines of Kentucky and the valleys and mountains singing about love, sweat and tears. They sing and pick the real sounds of Country folk – Uncle Bill Dunbar, Country Unplugged Bluegrass Radio & WorldwideBluegrass.com.
