Coleen Anderson does the song in a Pop-Country style that is not my preferred style of music. It's good--just not my style. The Soup Kitchen is, as always, a cappella, with Becky singing the lead and Will joining in on harmony on the chorus-gives it a very different feel.
We lived in Williamson for a little while when I was very small, and Mom was born and raised just over the border in McDowell County. Dad was born in Eastern Kentucky and raised in Huntington. I've been in North Carolina for 20 years now, but Mom & Dad, Fa-in-law & nephews are still there outside of Charleston and I go home as much as I can. Toot my horn and hoot my voice every time I emerge from the north end of East River Mountain Tunnel. Cry every time I leave--in spite of really loving my adopted hometown of Hillsborough, NC.
If I could pm this to you I would rather than bore all of Mudcat with my personal history--but there ya are--can't let an opportunity to share with another Hillbilly pass me by.
