I'm not black myself but I know great music when I hear it. Whew!!!
Wow I’m a mixed black trans woman and it made me cry watching this. I’ve never seen a someone who looks like me playing music like this it’s a revelation and the start of something beautiful for me.
❤ I'm a 70 year old white man that grew up in the Mississippi Delta, during segregation in a family of Tennant farmers on various cotton plantations. I have never been so moved by a song. I cry every time I listen to it. Such a POWERFUL song, and I GET exactly what she's saying. We didn't have to "check" ourselves before entering any businesses, or drinking from a water fountain ect. We were seen as trash because of our social/economic status but, at least we were free. The black people had it way worse. We are all of the same blood, created EQUALLY. Anyone that needs a few more lifetimes of evolution!
This song is especially powerful. The ancestors are speaking through you!
Country, Bluegrass, Soul, Blues, Rock n Roll, Folk music all comes from the same fountain, well done!🥳💜🌻
@Amythyst Kiah is awesome!
A FANTASTIC group of powerful women! Thank you for giving them a platform!
These Ladies are what Women Power is about: talent - skill - virtuosity- self esteem - bravour - dare - charm - self esteem - --- GUTS ;))
Here today for reasons I will keep to myself. Just learned about Amythyst Kiah today.
got to see her perform this at a small, house showcase Blues Foundation event last Saturday...she is a revelation!
amazing

Just saw Amythyst at the Parlor Room in Northampton MA (small venue about 80 people). Absolutely amazing.
THE BEST musical thing of 2019!!
2022 song of the year!!!!
truly awesome defiance & joy, my favourite performance of this anthem - even sat in my room watching still can't help but spontaneously applaud at the end!!
Looking forward to Amethyst, Allison, and Leyla each performing solo in Amsterdam this summer and fall.
I love this band and can’t wait to see future projects from these artists
Amazing. Keep it up!! Powerful song with a powerful message.
Brava! Keep on! (White myself) I love your music, your message, your performance. Great song, great singer.

Incredible…powerful…my jaw dropped listening to this.
WOW, just incredible.
I am loving what these four soulful women are dishing out. Phew.
PHENOMENAL TALENT!!!
Outstanding. Can't wait to see them perform live.
Fantastic song
Wow!!! What a star!!
That was an epic performance. God damn.
Love this group…so glad I found them.
Amazing voice!
This is the only group other than Sweet Honey that I would crawl over glass to see.
Best album in years. Love this group.
It's got a Alabama Shakes feel to the music.
Saw her in Indianapolis open for Yola, absolutely amazing! More, more, more!
LOVE!!!!
She's adorable!
Incredible voice!
Lotsa great musicians on this song. Good stuff!
This is so bad ass!
This whole album is amazing!
I thought it should’ve won album of the year in the folk category
That voice! 💘
'...when they stopped shipping work horses they bred their own anyway...' wow, woah...top!
Love the version. Big support from Italy
That was kicking ass!

More talent on that stage than ever played ACL IMAO
Love this song. I hope they tour in England next year!
Wow wow wow!!!!!!
So good! 😍
Excellent
Fabulous!! So great to see Dirk Powell in the mix :)
Yeeeeeeeees!
Tearing it up
Often I've been mistaken. I'd love to record this. but I'm not black, nor could I grasp the full scope of the cultural richness. This performance is a 10!!! AWESOME SONG. I'd like to see a Blues cover. eh?
This ain’t blues.
She's a badass
😎🙌
❤️❤️‼️
I’d like to hear this on Kroger radio please.
yeeahhh!!!
Powerful!!! (And Buddy Miller on guitar, isn't it?)
This song was featured on KXCI 91.3 in Tucson
Just caught her performance on CBS Sessions. Wow, just, WOW!! Musical find of the year so far!!
She can frigging PLAY too. Her banjo work is sick. Check out Carolina chocolate drops too, they have some bangers
Is that Dirk Powell on the squeeze box?
Yes. He produced and performed on their CD that includes this song.
Pick up that bsnjo and jsm with me anytime you want 🙂👍
Is that Keith Richard on lead guitar?
Fucking amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
WHY wasn't Amythyst listed FIRST in this video??? It's HER song.
Not sure this is the reason, but it does reflect the way you see them on the screen going left to right.
SHIVERS.
This ancient hippy likes.
Anyone know who the drummer is?
I think it's Brady Blade. He and Buddy Miller (guitar and bandleader in this) were in Emmylou Harris' Spyboy .
@@jeffreyday2414 Thank you!
Is this Country Soul ?
This group advertises itself with photos featuring the hottest woman looking like the leader and all of them holding banjos. The live show features the woman (?) on the periphery of the frame in the promo photos running the entire show, while the other three backup sing unremarkably and dance in front of a mostly white backing band...and zero banjos, despite banjo playing being referenced in the song itself. Can you imagine putting together a group wholly based on black identity, whose hit song is about black identity, and then hiring older white dudes to play key instrumental roles? Also, how does this song come out sounding Nashville? Based on the chord progressions it sounds like an empowerment song about messing up your boyfriend's car after he cheats on you
It is likely this is a house band for the event that backs up every performer presenting at an honors or awards show. I have seen Our Native Daughters live and the band is made up of the players from Rhiannon Giddens's performing band, notably her husband, multi-instrumentalist Francisco Turissi. These women are all multi-instrumentalists and have successful individual careers. Their collaboration was commissioned by Smithsonian Folkways and the accompanying documentary details their work and the fact that African Culture and Black talent have been written out of Americana and Folk Music history. Every time I've seen Allison Russel her band is all female. But I have to say there is something very powerful about these four women leading a white male band and singing Black Myself. My how the tables have turned. I love it.
SMH
Wtf is your problem?
WTF??????
Aw...someone feels threatened.
