About the Music CD
Born of Fire - Songs of Steel and Industry
Southwestern Pennsylvania. The steel making capital of the world for more than
100 years. A region built from pig iron and slag…steaming with blast furnaces,
pump houses and rolling mills.
But this is a region—and a story—that documents more than the strength of steel.
This is about the fragile human fabric that gives it life. For this is the story of the
people who lived here, who raised entire communities in the steep hills that peered
down into the mills. It’s about entire generations of men and women whose tireless
efforts literally built a nation: the Brooklyn Bridge... the Empire State
Building... the armaments that helped America fight the evils of tyranny.
This is about a region that influenced not only the country, but the world.
These are the songs of the time, written by the people who lived them.
Whose struggles, hard work, defiance, pride and survival are captured in the
music of the mills. In the songs of a shared past, and a future forged from steel.
These are the songs Born of Fire.
