Mountain Stage
Malcolm Holcombe.

Malcolm Holcombe makes his second appearance on Mountain Stage, recorded live at the Culture Center Theater in Charleston, W.Va. Born and raised in western North Carolina, the singer, songwriter and guitarist has been championed by heavyweights such as Emmylou Harris, Wilco and Steve Earle.

Fellow Mountain Stage guest Ray Wylie Hubbard says of Holcombe, "[He] scares the living bejesus out of me, as he writes from a place only a true poet knows, and channels ancient mountain tones from dark overgrown hollows where ghosts and spirits moan and plead their cases to the devil." Holcombe's latest album is titled Pitiful Blues.
