Civil War-Era Ballad 'Tom Dooley' And Our Mountain Stage Song Of The Week This West Virginia Morning

Listen

On this West Virginia Morning, we learn about the classic Appalachian ballad “Tom Dooley.” It’s grounded in a true story, but there are different perspectives on what happened. Also, we listen to our Mountain Stage Song of the Week brought to us by the Brooklyn-based modern rockers The Hold Steady.
