This week on Inside Appalachia, a new book looks into the toxic legacy of a huge industrial disaster in TN. Also, rock climbing gear wears out. But it can still live on as art. And, an eastern KY pharmacist serves vegan food for the holidays.
Our Song of the Week comes from acclaimed Nashville singer and songwriter Kim Richey, along with her band and San Francisco’s Chuck Prophet, who was a guest on this episode and also appears on Richey’s new album “Edgeland.” Here’s their duet, “Whistle On Occasion.”
We also shot a video of Kim and Chuck performing “Whistle On Occasion” on location at the state capitol grounds in Charleston, WV. You can see the video below via VuHaus.com.
