“Coal Minin’ Man” was written by Lee Roy and his good friend Matt Rogers. They both wanted to write a bluegrass song that would reflect the daily life of a coal miner. Matt is from eastern Pennsylvania and has many coal miners in his family and community, so he knew the subject well. “We knew the day we wrote it, it would be a great song for us to record on the new album, and I’m thrilled this is the first single.” said Lee Roy.
