On this West Virginia Morning, West Virginians have played a significant role in hurricane recovery efforts in North Carolina – but usually that means heading to the sight of destruction. Last week, a Mountain State native now based in Asheville returned to his childhood roots, where he found more than a little help from his friends.

And our Song of the Week comes from this week’s premiere broadcast of Mountain Stage from the Culture Center Theater in Charleston, West Virginia. Will Hoge, a singer-songwriter from Tennessee, performs the song “John Prine’s Cadillac.”
