Playwrights Jessica Blank ( @JessicaCBlank ) and Erik Jensen ( @ErikJensen123 ) describe the genesis of their musical, Coal Country , a collaboration with Steve Earle ( @SteveEarle ). Steve talks about the role of empathy in songwriting, and plays his song “It’s About Blood,” which lists the names of the 29 miners killed in the Upper Big Branch mining disaster. The show runs at the Cherry Lane Theater in NYC until April 17, 2022. The project is a collaboration with @PublicTheaterNY and @AudibleTheater https://SongWriterPodcast.com/Coal-Country-Steve-Earle Twitter.com/SnogWriter Instagram.com/SongWriterPodcast Facebook.com/SongWriterPodcast
