“So many punk bands in this town”
Great opening line
Wow very cool— can’t wait to see Sun O))) lay one down after our local women’s pro soccer game
This is a tough one, and I'm going to have to divide this up:
1. Appalachian Studies, @emhilly.bsky.social "Making Our Future," easily one of the most inspiring texts I've read in a long time. It deals with cultural matters, so a more nitty-gritty choice would be Ronald D. Eller's "Uneven Ground."
Equal parts Nick Drake & Sibylle Baier on this one ✨
Two fantastic UNC Press authors in conversation with one another in this podcast 👇🎧
Everyone @emhilly.bsky.social has done it again. What a total delight, beautifully researched and, yes, there’s a playlist at the end. oxfordamerican.org/magazine/iss...
In front of a live crowd at the Celebration of Women in Old-Time Music event at the East TN History Center, we discuss Hazel's life and her powerful songs that narrate the Appalachian migrant experience, advocate for working people, and outline an intersectional working class feminism.
Album of the summer! (or winter if you're down under)
Attn: Chicago pals & folks in early for Labor Notes!
Alice is a force & a total delight! We talked her collab w/ Hazel, Libba Cotten's chicken & dumplings, integrated tours in the South "chasing after a better world," women old-time musicians she knew, and how she taught her dog to bring her a beer from the fridge (and recycle the can afterwards)
Happy May Day! We took the podcast on the road to Knoxville and invited our friend Jessie Wilkerson to join us in celebrating the late great labor songwriter and groundbreaking bluegrass musician Hazel Dickens (1925-2011)! 🌹✊🧣

The Female Bob Dylan
I’m curious, so, historians (broadly defined), give me two book titles:
One: the one history book IN your field (however you define it) that is the absolute best, that everyone should read.
Two: the one history book OUTSIDE your field that you think is absolutely the best.
