| Summary: | "Riding on the Santa Train gives me the opportunity to participate in the lives of the people I have been singing about," [Kathy Mattea] said. "There is a sense of community here, and a sense of place like nowhere else; riding a train through the mountains and visiting with the folks will be the highlight of my Christmas this year." Mattea said her new CD "Coal" describes the hardships that many miners face in the mountains. It was inspired by the 2006 mining disaster in Sago, W.Va., that killed 12 miners. Mattea, 49, is a two-time Grammy winner who has four No. 1 country hits to her credit, including "Eighteen Wheels and a Dozen Roses." |
