Songs about the Appalachian Highlands

Yes I used to see such devastation, in my annual visits to West Virginia in the 1970s, but I'm happy to report that in recent decades I've spent many hours driving across WV and I've seen hundreds of miles of lush beautiful forested hills unscarred by strip-mining.
