Biography
Hazel Jane Dickens, born on June 1, 1925, in West Virginia, was an American bluegrass singer and songwriter. Raised in a mining family, she moved to Baltimore in the 1950s, where she began her musical journey. Through her brother Robert, she met Mike Seeger, and the two became active in the Baltimore-Washington bluegrass and folk scene in the 1960s, eventually performing with Bob Bakerâs bluegrass band. She also formed "Hazel & Alice" with Alice Gerrard, releasing their first album, Who's That Knocking? And Other Bluegrass Country Music, in 1965. After the duo disbanded in 1976, Dickens pursued a solo career, releasing politically charged music such as "Black Lung" and "Coal Mining Women." She appeared in the documentary Harlan County, USA (1976) and contributed to its soundtrack. In 2011, Dickens died from complications of pneumonia. In 2017, she was inducted into the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame alongside Alice Gerrard.
