Hazel Dickens

Hazel Dickens turned 75 earlier this week. You can listen to a interview she did with Marc Steiner. I did not make it to her concert in Baltimore this week, but I did see here perform at the Folklife Festival a couple years ago. Her are a couple videos.

Here is a video of "West Virgina, My Home" from her induction into the West Virginia Music Hall of Fame in 2008.



"The Mannington Mine Disaster"



"I Love to Sing the Old Songs"



I cannot find video of Dickens singing her song "Working Girl Blues", but to show how far her influence has extended here is a version of the song by the Japanese bluegrass band Daisyhill.
