Carolina Chocolate Drops cover Johnny Cash "Jackson" Live @ Grey Fox Festival 2013

[@LAlba9]

The fact that this wonderful "true country" group with its amazingly talented lead singer, Rhiannon Giddens, is not a household word yet is astonishing..

[@richardmcguinness9073]

Lawrence E. Alba. .......Their only problem may be that they don't fit anyone's stereotype....but they are a wonderful group and they are maybe a real contribution.

[@EchosLens]

@MADAM X Yes! It's great!

[@goatwren]

It has happened you were right.

[@peterharvey5696]

This cover of Jackson is probably the best I've heard

[@andrewgraziani4331]

She's a Dusey!

[@keithfreeland7638]

Have you heard Nancy Sinatras?

[@lynnechase6673]

I've been watching videos with Rhiannon Giddens for hours now and still have a hard time believing how LOW she can go with her singing! Bravo!

[@davidj.7779]

She trained originally in opera and developed her enormous range. In an interview she said her opera training is the reason she can articulate lyrics so quickly because in Italian opera especially, you have to be able to sing fast

[@barrycowan3540]

I think there's no doubt Johnny Cash would love this!

[@bengemeister]

+Barry Cowan U rite! And did you catch the ref to Afrosheen? VINTAGE! Love it.

[@roncarpenter7240]

Barry Cowan And so would June Carter.

[@jeanneposner2549]

Not often one gets fabulous musical art and some historical knowledge at the same time. I LOVE this group-and Giddens is astonishingly talented (and brilliant)

[@tomadkins2866]

Whoohh! Johnny Cash and June Carter would both Applaud that performance.

[@kevinmahon7848]

My Heart is smiling Thank You Chocolate Drops.

[@petermcculloch4933]

Best Jackson cover ever.Rhiannons personality shines.

[@Deebemc]

Talent to burn! These folk along with Pokey LaFarge, just shows what an amazing pool of talent US has......and not necessarily knowing about them! Great post!

[@freeian2]

Saw them both in Knoxville-Pokey opened. Brother invited me for a show-didn’t know of either them. Overdosed on music-what an evening.

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Absolutely fantastic and fabulous too. You are absolutely Amazing 🤩. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤❤

[@eddiewillers1442]

Fun song...and they do it great!

[@ethnicmusiclover]

There are amazing artists who are not household names like Lindi Ortega and Rhiannon Giddens. Both are True Country and True Old Time Music. In my place they are household names!

[@123heynoodle7]

[@zeppelinmexicano]

Thx 4 posting this. I've always wanted 2 hear this w fiddles. Luv the original, but always wanted a longer version- a stanza of fiddle b4 the "we got married..." repeat would have been awesome.

[@paul1x1]

American music is the best

[@misstinwhistle1]

Ooooweeee!!

[@MuskieMcKay]

Who is playing guitar? The right hand technique…

[@danhelms8134]

Giddens is sawing the fuck out of that fiddle.

[@jxxnrxxi2160]

Interesting version, but the vocals?! No Johnny and June there, that's for sure.

[@DralionProductions]

Am I the only person here because of an article in "Smithsonian"?

[@neonsparky]

DralionProductions I’ve been meandering down this Rhiannon Giddens worm hole for the past week and have yet to be disappointed

[@danvitale1825]

lee hazelwood and nancy sinatra done it first

[@bcooke4374]

Good, but with Justin they were great. Meh.

[@stacyperkins7006]

Please don't ever sing that version again. Terrible.

[@faolanliath6687]

Stop.

[@petersaula2304]
