Appalachian Smoke unveils their latest single, “Mountain Mover,” a deeply moving song inspired by the stories of those who have faced displacement, hardship, and the struggle to make a living from the land they call home.

Written as a tribute to those who have experienced the effects of tyranny and the loss of their homeland, “Mountain Mover” gives voice to the personal stories often left untold. The song was inspired by the true experiences of a local western North Carolina woman whose family was forced from their land during the 1940s, when the Tennessee Valley Authority flooded communities throughout the region, leaving generations of hardworking families without their homes.
