There was a wonderful recording around 1970 called "They Can't Put It Back" by Rich Kirby & Michael Kline with a lot of songs focused on WV and mining (both underground & strip mining). Don't know if it was ever done as a CD (though I doubt it; if anyone knows how to find it either on CD or LP, please let me know). The "Mountain Voices" section of has lyrics & chords to some great songs like "Ballad of Springhill", "The Coming of the Roads", "Jenny's Gone Away", "Paradise" and "16 Tons" in addition to others already mentioned here.
