This fall, The Avett Brothers will release their new album Closer Than Together, but to hold you over, Seth Avett has performed a cover of the country classic “Mining for Coal.”
Originally from the 1989 Randy Travis album No Holdin’ Back, the song has everything you’d want from a weepy country ballad: A love story, Appalachian imagery and some Americana-inspired poetry.
Their album Closer Than Together releases in October.
