“American Coal” is the newest released album from the talented singer, Stella Parton, and is comprised of wonderful Country music. As the title of this album suggests, it is dedicated to the men and women who spend their life working in the coal mining industry. Parton also includes brief narrations within the CD describing the history of coal and the significance it brings to our nation. Her bouncy rendition of “Sixteen Tons” on the song “Coal Medley” is sweet and charming as she sings of the labors of the hard working coal miner. Another song, “Coal Tattoo” generates heartfelt lyrics with tasty Country Rock tonality. “I’m A Coal Mining Man” is pure Country at its best as Parton voice is strong and sincere accompanied by a smooth and flowing beat. If you like good old Country music with a splash of Rock then “American Coal” is an album you will really enjoy, especially if you’re a fan of Loretta Lynn or Tammy Wynette.
