Carolina Chocolate Drops | 30-Minute Music Hour

The Carolina Chocolate Drops won the Best Traditional Folk Album Grammy Award for 2010's "Genuine Negro Jig." The band has been a one-band revival of a twice forgotten art form: North Carolina Folk music in the African-American tradition. Rolling Stone describes the band's music as, "dirt floor dance electricity."

I saw this group in Knoxville 2 Christmas, and at Bristol TN and Johnson City. Great Group!

It started, for me, with being blessed by God to (accidentally) hear Rhiannon Giddens on Austin City Limits; she sang "Jenny" and I was mesmerized. And so, after following her, I naturally discovered the Carolina Chocolate Drops, yet another blessing. It all makes me so happy!
