Richest Hill On Earth — Half the World (Official Audio) | Henry B. Colter

Henry B. Colter — "Richest Hill On Earth" (Official Video) From the album Montana Knows My Name (Continental Divide Records). Butte, Montana, and the cage of daylight that went down into it. The papers called it the richest hill on earth, and the song asks the harder question — copper you can count, but you can't count the men who built. Irishmen and Finns, Serbs and Cornish, different words around the table and different churches down the street, and underground a working man was just the man beside your feet. Some men made a fortune. Some men made the shift. Some men didn't live. Recorded plain: wood, wire, breath, and the sound of the room. Filmed in the real West — head frames at dusk, mine timber, lamp tags, snow on the fence line, weather and open sky. Forever Cowboy, Singer of the Ages. #HenryBColter #WesternCountryGospel #Americana
