Sod Lonnie bloody Donegan this is the real deal, although, Rhiannon clearly got it from Odetta. Indeed, I had/have an Odetta e.p. where she sings this song.
She has the musical talent and vocal ability to make you feel joyous or to bring you to tears. To make you want to get up and dance or just sit there in appreciation of the beauty of her voice. A rare talent and there are many talented musicians and singers but she is truly a once in a generation vocalist.
FANTASTIC!! Real MUSIC is what brings people together!!! It knows no money, color or religion!!!! She has a GIFT to give!! I love her and her band!! Such a breath of fresh classic true REAL storytelling music!!!
Real music is expression. It's an expression of love, hate, color, money, religion, no religion, suffering, joy....culture. It knows it all and is a reflection of life.
Awesome and highly versatile range for so many different stances in folk blues. Love her gritty and pure tuned style! First time I heard of you is tonight, thank you youtube. You are a rare talent, dear woman.
As Rihannonn is on Tour in France this 2017 december, I Just discover this incredible voice and person. I can't find the words to tell how it moves me deeply. For the small story, last week, I told My 80 Years old Uncle an Aunt, living 200 kilometers from her coming performance in LORIENT (French Brittany) : "Well, knowing how you love real voices, I think you should listen to this..." 5 hours later, they sent me :" we just bought the ticks : it's not near home, but we won't miss this for an empire !" Beauty wether it come from thev oice, the soul, or both, is priceless. Thank You Rihannon and Hubby !
Such a breath of fresh air. Such a breath of wonderful old air. She brings the ancients out of their graves, back to life, and explains to them how wonderful and important they were. I am stirred to the depth of my soul. This is not just amazing talent we are watching and hearing, it is an American spiritual revival. She/they are introducing us to our heritage. I am so grateful that Rhiannon chose the path she chose.
What an amazing voice. This song gives me chills because Rhiannon is just that damn good as a singer (and she is an extremely talented musician as well).
HOLY shit Rhiannon and Hubby! Give em hell! Its time people here the real history lessons from qualified people. I loved learning from you. But I an sooooo happy for your success in telling the story of the south and it's trials. I studied with John Cephas for 10 years and he taught me more than anyone could imagine.And not just about playing Piedmont blues but he would have me listen to the recordings. He would set the stage about the social climate for those who played and wrote it. I grew up and live in the south and remember seeing segregation. I did not understand it or adhere to it thanks to my black and white parents whose heart is filled with only love love. Beck says hi!
Ich war kürzlich an ihrer Gig in Milano. Voll Wahnsinn was diese Frau bringt. Sie begrüsste uns auf italieenisch und die Beigabe war eine italienische Kantate. Sie, ihre Band und das Publikum wie eine grosse Familie.
Giddens has an amazing voice. Was lucky to see her during her Freedom Highway tour. Fantastic show. Her biggest inspiration, and the one she considers the best female ctry singer ever, is Patsy Cline, who was, indeed, an incredible talent, lost way too soon. This is more roots music imo. Giddens also has bit of wide range of genres...Roots music, Bluegrass (another type of roots music), country, gospel, folk, African, Appalachia, Celtic, Jug Band..& more. 🙃 She plays multiple instruments very well. What a treasure she is. I'm always telling ppl I meet, or new friends about her. And most haven't heard of her. They missing out! 🥰
Truly, there is no end to this woman's talents. I have been listening to her classical music podcast Aria Code and that is brilliant too. Of course, I am biased because I am deeply and irrevocably smitten.
It's just much too short ! Wonderful Rhiannon Giddens !!! (except your hair on that day - and your make-up as well ; you really DON'T NEED that, you're naturally soooooo BEAUTIFUL 🥰 !!!!!). I do love your exceptional voice... And I know how many music instruments you can play (even the KAZOO ! Fiddle 🎻 , banjo, etc...... Perhaps not the "bones" 😉 ? ) Congratulations from France and I beg your pardon for my so bad English 😌 !......... I enjoy so much listening to : "JULIE" or : "YOU CAN TAKE MY BODY....." or : "CORNBREADS & BUTTERBEANS" !!!!!! Much love from Marseilles in South-east France . 🙋♀️ 🌿 🇫🇷
No one has the right to tell Rhiannon Giddens what clothes to wear, and whether she should wear makeup or not. Would you make similar comments about a male singer?
I love how they kept blank faces and played almost mechanically at first...and then made such a radical shift. Rhiannon knows how to play it for maximum impact (and I assume Hubby does, too. Gotta look his work up...)
Rhiannon always is modest in dress, depending only on her stupendous vocal talents. My, my! She is cute as a button, and a short, tight skirt is not needed. Gorgeous lady!

She converts an old Lonnie Donegan throwaway song into a classic. Wow, I'm 74 and so relieved to hear that music isn't dead after-all.
+Rockin Atheist Lonnie Donegan? It's a traditional song first published in 1922. Throwaway? Try listening to Odetta.
OK - thanks
Yes is true Rockin, BluesSaloon is long beautiful particularly Rhiannon Giddens are long too beautiful & talent :=)
Sod Lonnie bloody Donegan this is the real deal, although, Rhiannon clearly got it from Odetta. Indeed, I had/have an Odetta e.p. where she sings this song.
@@musik102, which is not to say Rhiannon isn't very talented in her own right. Odetta just came first.

A rare talent and there are many talented musicians and singers but she is truly a once in a generation vocalist.
How could it happen, that Rhiannon Giddens never showed up until now on my YT screen. Could listen all day long
Yep, What you said.
Enjoy the rabbit hole.
this lady is astonishing. an amazing voice and can play about any instrument you put in her hand. one of my favorite artists of all time.
FANTASTIC!! Real MUSIC is what brings people together!!! It knows no money, color or religion!!!! She has a GIFT to give!! I love her and her band!! Such a breath of fresh classic true REAL storytelling music!!!
Real music is expression. It's an expression of love, hate, color, money, religion, no religion, suffering, joy....culture. It knows it all and is a reflection of life.
She has the kind of voice that would sound good just singing around the house while doing chores or whatever. She is amazing.
Wow. Rhiannon Giddens is Odetta and Woody Guthrie wrapped into one soulful package
Great observation!
Awesome and highly versatile range for so many different stances in folk blues. Love her gritty and pure tuned style! First time I heard of you is tonight, thank you youtube. You are a rare talent, dear woman.
this is one of the most powerful vocal performances ive ever heard ❤
check out Odetta Holmes (1930-2008) singing WaterBoy. I guess she is one of Rhiannon´s inspirations

WOW!!! I've just viewed her performance and my dropped jaw is only now returning to normal. What a singer, what a song!
WOW! Channeling Odetta. What a singer. Thank you Ms. Giddens.
Check out Harry Belafonte's version as well. Stunning!

Who gave this a thumbs down??? Like how? This was incredible!
Yeah, seriously. What is not to LOVE about this? Totally moving.
I just love watching Buddy Miller's enjoyment in playing with the talent before him, he is eatin' it up!
I thought that was him. Only the best!
Damn.. she's got the whole package! Awesome pipes.. plays everything.. geez.. Amazing!
I'm hooked.
Holy Mother of God. Rhiannon Giddens and Buddy Miller on the same stage.
Just happy to say I saw them in concert in the Boone, NC before they became world famous.
I think I'm in love....... This is remarkable.......
Me too
Absolutely and utterly amazing Rhiannon you are in a world of your own.
She is as beautiful as her art, totally mesmerised when she performs. Keep the style alive :)

Omg! cold chills ... she's magic
Do you know if she ever comes to Canada (B.C.) to give a performance. I'm somewhat disabled, but would do anything to get to see her.
www.rhiannongiddens.com/#shows--not this year.
oh she makes me cry. So much heart and feeling. I love this gal and her guitarist more.
as the announcer said "that's Americana" - in a beautiful form I may add
Giddens is multi-talented and beautiful. Appears to put her heart and soul in to her performance. Hubby is very good too.
what am impressive gorgeous expression of her voice. stunning
She's so amazing.
A rare and great talent
What a pure voice and fantastic singer.
There are so few musical genius people within any given genre...please know you are seeing and hearing one here.
Giddens is amazing!
Geez - she is absolutely so great!

A beautiful soul witha beautiful voice...Great musicians with Buddy Miller on guitar too.
a supremely talented, beautiful woman and a damned good group of musicians.
Just love this ... everything about it ... great musicians, great music, great song, great voice ... simply great ... brilliant.
You bring such joy to so many of us!
I was about to ask where she's been all my life, but with a voice like that, where the hell have I been all my life?!
Totally agree. I only discovered her last year
Oh good! Some new performances to play during Thanksgiving dinner. Last year we screened Another Day, Another Time :)
I seen her on PBS and that's all it took, and I had to hear everything on her.
Giddens has an amazing voice. Was lucky to see her during her Freedom Highway tour. Fantastic show.

Simply stunning, Where has this lady been hiding ?
+steviez110
Ireland.
Nick Shortland That is totally wrong. She is an American ---Carolina Chocolate Drops. NOT Ireland.
K Stewart She LIVES in Ireland, with her husband and kids.
The correct answer is Greensboro N.C. and Limerick, ROI, and many locations around and between. She is marvelously talented and accomplished.
More the issue is why has she been hidden from us? Garbage gets promoted, genuinely creative talent has to fight to be heard.
"Now That's Americana!" So true.
Now check out her new song, "Don't Call Me Names." Rhiannon has talent and vision to spare. We need her right now.
Love her!!
Absolutely love her gifts!
INCREIBLE, LA VI POR TV, Y DESDE ENTONCES NO PUEDO DEJAR DE ESCUCHARLA/MIRARLA. Saludos desde España.
Astounding!
Absolutely phenomenal !
All my "pickers and grinners" check out this wonderful banjo playing opera singing lady from Greensboro NC. An angel from the past and the future.
Girl's got some pipes.
Plus, she's a helluva banjoist, fiddler, and songwriter!
and can sing pretty good too ;)
She's a trained opera singer.
I CANNOT wait to see her at the ACL Live taping on Monday!!!!!!!
To me, the use a few lines of "wayfaring stranger" as an introduction gives this song a new meaning. Great song, gifted band...
Belleza en su máxima expresión ---- Voz, música y presencia ---- Millones de gracias.
she is wonderful, no doubt. and, man, that banjo player is for real.
Holy. Crap. I'm in awe.
Wow! NO, REALLY, WOW!!!
Amazing
goddess energy ❤️
This is what music in 1900 was like. We've regressed since then.
Not really--lots of great, talented musicians/singers/songwriters out there. You just have to know where to look. You won't find them on the radio.
@@jeannie1renee2 That's for sure.
Love Her music
Wow, she's got everything
She is amazing!
Saw her in concert in Charlotte …. what a show.
stunning. simply, supremely, perfect
Truly, there is no end to this woman's talents. I have been listening to her classical music podcast Aria Code and that is brilliant too.
Of course, I am biased because I am deeply and irrevocably smitten.
Folks, I'm talking one multi-talented Lady, hands down 😮😮❤
Que portento de Voz. EXTRAORDINARIA. Y tocando violín igual, destreza total.
Amazing!
It's just much too short !
Wonderful Rhiannon Giddens !!!
(except your hair on that day - and your make-up as well ; you really DON'T NEED that, you're naturally soooooo BEAUTIFUL 🥰 !!!!!).
I do love your exceptional voice...
And I know how many music instruments you can play (even the KAZOO ! Fiddle 🎻 , banjo, etc...... Perhaps not the "bones" 😉 ? )
Congratulations from France and I beg your pardon for my so bad English 😌 !.........
I enjoy so much listening to : "JULIE"
or : "YOU CAN TAKE MY BODY....."
or : "CORNBREADS & BUTTERBEANS" !!!!!!
Much love from Marseilles in South-east France . 🙋♀️ 🌿 🇫🇷

Yes, of course ! 🤷
Holy shit. This girl rocks
I love how they kept blank faces and played almost mechanically at first...and then made such a radical shift. Rhiannon knows how to play it for maximum impact (and I assume Hubby does, too. Gotta look his work up...)
Wowza!
WOW !!!!
Que voz increíble !!!
Wow she's got you rendition is unbelievable!!
Amazing woman!
What a musical treasure 👏
Wow, I would walk 500 miles to hear Rhiannon fiddle play with Mairead Nesbitt. Lord that would a night of fiddle playing!
The one thought that comes to mind for Rhiannon Giddens is 'Angelic'.
In the boots and not a bare foot ? surprised I truly am. However it's still amazing performance. Thank you Rhiannon Giddens!
Damned unbelievable. Superb.
How amazed was I
Yes!!!
Just, WOW!
I love me some Rhiannon Giddens
Wow, Wow ❤
The best musicians never make it to radio
A real life angel singing among us.
looooooove them
Nailed it!
Rhiannon always is modest in dress, depending only on her stupendous vocal talents. My, my! She is cute as a button, and a short, tight skirt is not needed. Gorgeous lady!
Need a mashup with her and Billy Strings. That would be legendary.
Real music...
Awesome
oh what a voice!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! Good LAWD she's amazing!
masterful
Still choked up
🔥🔥🔥
