We have a conversation with Marshall University's Turning Point USA chapter president. We also learn about a recently released horror film shot near Huntington, and the population decline in central Appalachia that may be getting worse.
We revisit The Wood Brothers’ third appearance on Mountain Stage as part of this week’s encore episode. The trio’s high-energy set includes songs from their exceptional album “One Drop of Truth,” released in February 2018.
They also perform “Chocolate On My Tongue,” a favorite from their 2006 debut album “Ways Not To Lose,” which is our Mountain Stage Song of the Week.
“Over the years we’ve written a lot of dessert songs,” front-man Oliver Wood said while introducing the song, “Wish we could do them all, but inspired by the brownies down in catering, we chose this one.”
