The NewLanders
Born of Fire: Songs of Steel and Industry
The NewLanders are a group of Pittsburgh area musicians and songwriters who have researched and rediscovered songs written by, and about, the people of southwestern Pennsylvania. By forging these old tunes in their own style, the Newlanders have created a new sound -- while honoring and preserving the spirit of this region's rich past. The CD contains eleven songs born of the steel and coal industry in southwestern Pennsylvania between 1845 and 1945. They are the songs the men and women of the steel era sang and which tell, in their own words, the story of their lives. Their story is one of struggle, hard work, defiance, pride, and survival.
