Dave Weekly talks with Kathy Mattea about Mountain Stage heading to Athens, Ohio for a live show at the Memorial Auditorium. Mattea reflects on the program's regional reach across Appalachia and previews the lineup, including Peter Holsapple, The Steel Wheels, Lily Thomas, Russell Best, and Sam Weber. The conversation also revisits R.E.M.'s memorable 1991 Charleston appearance and highlights how Mountain Stage continues to connect artists and audiences throughout West Virginia and beyond.
We stay in 1987 for one more episode, stopping for some flowers along the way, because it's Valentine's Day 2026, and thus just the right time to take on Kathy Mattea's signature hit, "18 Wheels and a Dozen Roses". You already know how this song tugs at the heartstrings, but how does it manage to keep itself rolling so deliberately toward its near-term goal, while constantly looking in the rearview mirror toward the more distant past?
Lots of country music is sad stories. This is that, and there's a sad story under it, but it has way more at work than you might think — and it launched one of the most important careers in the history of country music. Delta Dawn, originally by Alex Harvey, covered by Tanya Tucker. Outro music is Eighteen Wheels and a Dozen Roses by Kathy Mattea.

Today on the show, we're bringing you an episode from Our Common Nature (https://link.podtrac.com/v7mx144d), a new podcast series where cellist Yo-Yo Ma and host Ana González travel around the United States to meet people, make music and better understand how culture binds us to nature. The series features a few familiar voices, including Ana González (host) and Alan Goffinski (producer), from our kids podcast, Terrestrials (https://link.podtrac.com/vysacqn1). About the episode: West Virginia is defined by its beauty and its coal, two things that can work against each other. Yo-Yo Ma felt this as soon as stepped foot in its hills.This episode explores how music and poetry help process the emotions of a community besieged with disaster and held together by pride and duty. We travel down the Coal River with third-generation coal miner Chris Saunders, who tells us how coal has saved and threatened his life. Poet Crystal Good shares her poetry, which channels her rage and love. And musician and granddaughter of West Virginia coal miners, Kathy Mattea, explains the beauty of belting out your home state in a chorus. The end of the episode finds host Ana floating down the New River with help from a group of high schoolers and Yo-Yo Ma. Listen to the full series Our Common Nature (https://link.podtrac.com/v7mx144d). Featuring music by Yo-Yo Ma, Dom Flemons, and Kathy Mattea and poetry by Crystal Good.EPISODE CREDITS: Radiolab Bits Produced - Anisa Vietze (Radiolab bits)Signup for our newsletter!!
