“Charlie McCoy led a group of excellent musicians called the “West Virginia Superpickers” in a beautiful rendition of “Cold, Cold Heart” by Hank Williams and barn-burning version of “Orange Blossom Special.” McCoy also featured a song of his own called “Take the New River,” about a man in love with a moonshiner’s daughter.” Read more about the event at WVGazette.com
