This week on the Golden Road, DJ Lee is featuring what he calls “IA Tunes.” What are IA Tunes you may ask? Well the short answer is songs about railroads, coal mining, steel mills, and labor. These songs will run the gamut from the romance of the railroad to life in the mines to the loss and despair caused by deindustrialization. DJ Lee has been thinking about this show’s content for some time, and the inspiration for this show dates back to the early 1990s as an idea for a mix tape that was never completed, until now!
