Demon Copperhead Playlist

by Barbara Kingsolver

20 tracks
balanced
Nov 13, 2026

Rooted in Appalachian string music, country, and folk, the playlist follows Demon’s movement through hardship, loss, and hard-won resilience. Instrumental passages evoke the mountains and the lives shaped by them; the songs with lyrics touch on poverty, addiction, family, and the fierce impulse to keep going.
