Notas del episodio
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.
