"Coal Country is political theater of the most lucid, urgent and necessary kind, given soaring emotional heft by Earle’s songs and his superbly evocative string-picking. The growing sense of dread is most movingly conveyed by Patti, in a monologue that Bacon delivers with grace and sorrow, The show closes without sentimentality but with a heartfelt expression of loss and longing as Bacon’s Patti, in a beautiful voice, sings 'If I Could See Your Face Again.'"
