How the hell somebody can give a thumbs down for this? If you can't find it wonderful like I do, at least you should consider that these people are loving what they are doing, they are good in it and they don't want to hurt anybody. The music itself is positive and makes people happy, what can be wrong with it?
The most talented vocalist in America right there! So amazing! Thank you Rhiannon for sharing your beautiful gift with us! Love everything you have done with the Chocolate Drops, etc.... What a blessing...
Serious chills. This authenticity and talent combo is so tough to come by these days. Bravo!! It looks like she's nominated for a Grammy... crossing my fingers :-)
Saw her at Caramoor this evening. Absolutely amazing. The originality, musicality, and wonderful singing is like no other singer past or present. She gets better and better in every respect.
There is not one iota of phoniness in this woman. She's all heart, and the quality of her God given talent is at this time in 2019, second to none. Honestly, I find it hard to believe.
I have been a fan of Rhiannon Giddens since first finding about the Chocolate Drops in 2007. To see her continue to absolutely shine in every genre is a tribute to the amazing talent she is. Is there a better women performer than Rhiannon right now?
Lovely, luminous lady with a huge talent. So appreciated by me in this day and age where overemotive theatrics during performances are more common than not.
When I was a kid-about a hundred years ago-my folk listened to this kind of music. We called it "folk music", I guess they call it bluegrass now. Thanks for the memories Ms Giddens.
The outstanding performer on this year's Jools Holland Hootenanny new year eve show on BBC was Rhiannon Giddens... happily now listening through as much as I can of her performances.
I heard her for the first time at the Boston Pops July 4th concert. Since then, I have searched for everything she has done. How she isn’t a household name is beyond me, but I expect she will be before long. What a talent.
There ain't nothin' here that ain't beautiful in every way. This girl got it goin' on & she's keepin' it alive & well. Keep singin' it you angel & don't stop layin' it down.
BRAVO À RHIANNON GIDDENS ET À SES MUSICIENS ! 👏👏👏👏👏👏 J'ai particulièrement adoré ce violoncelle jazzy : c'est super !!!!!! Merci Rhiannon 💙 💛 💚 ........
Rhiannon Giddens' two jaw-dropping sessions blew away the 2018 Fresh Grass Festival this past September. She opened to a packed house to present the work that the festival had commissioned her to create. When she finished her hour+ slot, my friend turned to me and said, "Might as well go home. Nobody's topping that". Fortunately, it was a great festival and Rhiannon and her talented crew brought the house down again at her second session. What a talent.
lyrics sound a little like Lone Pilgrim on Bob Dylan's World Gone Wrong album but then he pinched a lot from the tradition he loved and to a degree he absorbed in his youth
She did an interview on Fresh Air with Terry Gross, and, if my memory serves me, she said she was. I even vaguely remember her just banging out arias, as if they were nothing, too!
The church of music is a place where believers and non believers are both welcome. Thanks so much Rhiannon.

Another fun performance from an amazing artist who seems to take any genre she touches up a few notches. Ya gotta feel blessed.
A strong cup of coffee and a smile.
If Gospel music was a person, tears of awe and gratitude would be running down its face.

Agreed. I paid a fortune to go to the Cambridge folk festival to see her last summer and it was well worth it. Hope to see more of her in the UK.

not sure if there's ever been a better woman performer...
Sarah Page To answer succinctly,No!.Emphatically.
Jerry Shea Alison Krauss is on The same level
Is there any top performer for you among men musicians?
Lovely, luminous lady with a huge talent. So appreciated by me in this day and age where overemotive theatrics during performances are more common than not.
I don't know why some bands and singers feel the need to do that. I just love watching the band playing. That does it for me.
Love hearing Malcolm Parsons on those cello solos! Way to go! Wish we could hear more of those solos.

OF COURSE ITS BLUE GRASS

+bi1iruben saw her too, was the best performer in my opinion
+bi1iruben If you like her, you should look at the Carolina Chocolate Drops which she is/was a part of.

Very fine song and interpretated very well ... Yes, Rhia sings it so wonderful! Thank you so much ...
If you like this, you should check out Sister Rosetta Tharpe. She did both these songs and is Rhiannon is obviously a big fan of hers.
sister rosetta should be in the hall of fame, she was way before he time with the electric guitar
lyrics sound a little like Lone Pilgrim on Bob Dylan's World Gone Wrong album but then he pinched a lot from the tradition he loved and to a degree he absorbed in his youth
truly amazing woman,,
St. James Infirmary Blues!
imelda may is also cool.
Shout Sister Shout!

She did an interview on Fresh Air with Terry Gross, and, if my memory serves me, she said she was. I even vaguely remember her just banging out arias, as if they were nothing, too!

When its played like that ( the cello) its called a bass fiddle.
Malcolm Parsons--he also plays with Turtle Island Quartet
The Real deal! K
Deep rever blues ?
Al green
A great talent, without question.
She could’ve sang a better song though, IMHO
Oh, the irony, a white rhythm section backing a black artist! Some things have changed!
