Kathy Mattea returns to Mountain Stage on this week’s broadcast with ‘Coal Tattoo,’ written by fellow West Virginian Billy Edd Wheeler. Mattea has said she enjoys playing this song because it allows her band to “stretch out” on their instruments – especially her long-time guitarist and sideman Bill Cooley.
