Appalachian Livin’ – Almost Heaven Nearly Hell
Two women, Lindsay Riser and Elise Keaton, dive into their experiences growing up and living in Appalachia. A one of a kind podcast created and produced in the Coalfields of West Virginia. Each episode will host a new guest to educate, inform and uplift the people of Appalachia and beyond.
This week on Appalachian Livin’, we’re joined by musician Curtis Lovejoy from Wyoming County, West Virginia. Curtis has been writing songs that speak to what’s really going on in the world right now — some might call it political or protest music, but really, he’s just telling the truth.
We kept calling his songs cheeky — they’ve got personality and humor — but behind every line is something real. Curtis performs a few tunes for us, including his newest release “The Scorpion and the Frog” ( you can download it here: https://www.boomplay.com/songs/218582641 ) and a powerful song called “Words,” where we talk about how language carries weight and shapes the world we live in.
A little music, a little conversation, and a whole lot of Appalachian truth-telling.
