Pretty Little Girl with the Blue Dress On - Rhiannon Giddens

[@JJBushfan]

Forget all the glammed-up rock and pop stars. This woman is a real gem.

[@audryhaynes3277]

Speaking of pretty girls... In addition to her amazing talent, I think Rhiannon is positively beautiful!

[@trenaesumter2902]

She sings with her whole body, mind, heart and spirit. Love her.

[@zeppelinmexicano]

To call this woman talented would be a waste of words. She's connected to something the rest of us can only sniff from a distance.

[@paulmatters2641]

She is a staggering talent

[@erickohn5695]

My wife Ann and I coordinated the green room for Appel Farm and these guys were great. Rhiannon and her husband came in with their young daughter who was tried and clingy for her mom. Ann had some crayons, sidewalk caulk and trinket games. What a hit Rhiannon could relax and get ready for an absolutely fabulous set. Dom he was a little harder to corral. Nicest guy in the world insisted we call bones and I had to insist he got in the golf cart so I could take him to the stage.

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Rhiannon I really really enjoyed watching you Playing and singing so beautifully and so fast, that must have taken so doing??? Fantastic as always you make my heart ❤ smile, Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤

[@esta1ful]

What a multi-talented human being.

[@user-zl4mx4ec5f]

I never stop being amazed at her talents

[@charlesholliday7923]

Wish I could like it a thousand times!

[@waynemcmillan5970]

This girl can do anything

[@starmessenger]

To say she's extraordinary would be an understatement.

[@keithbuck1668]

Reading the comments, and nobody mentioned Hubby Jenkins. He's a absolute badass.

[@neurofire]

I think this might be my 50th or 60th time watching this - still knocks me out. Extraordinary in every respect.

[@dontaylor7315]

I fell in love with Loretta Lynn 40 years ago and now I've fallen in love all over again with Giddens. Born too late for Loretta and too soon for Rhiannon - damn!

[@jt60srn]

So proud of this little North Carolina girl what a talent

[@irvinslagter8298]

She's mighty good, and that feller on that banjo ain't no slouch either! Great pickin'

[@philarevolutionarywarriorp8295]

This woman is FANTASTIC!!! So much talent and beauty it's almost Unbelievable!

[@hank0455]

I seen her on PBS, It was complete Shock and awe, I have never heard a voice so powerful as hers, She is absolutely stunning.

[@denniswarren3668]

Rhiannon and Rachel Price are my 2 favorite female singers period!

[@lynneweber12]

She has such heart which comes through her absolutely gorgeous voice. Add her fabulous playing of any stringed insturment...RHIANNON GIDDENS IS the definition of AWESOME!!

[@ukgraffitiwalker8846]

Amen

[@melgloberman3292]

The only thing I would add to your “awesome”, is beyond!

[@elredlenny5731]

Rhiannon, the lady gives out powerful energy like she explodes on stage and grabbed the ordeence in her Palm, such mystic energy. PEACE to all

[@sutapasbhattacharya9471]

[@laserbeam002]

These folks are simply wonderful especially Rhiannon Giddens.

[@jasonhiggins8909]

You can just see she loves that fiddle so much god bless her

[@markwaldsmith1414]

She is absolutely beautiful and talented beyond belief totally amazing,,,,,,,

[@ThePapasmurf1946]

She's my current favorite musical artist. No competition.

[@dominicshaw4140]

check out daoiri farrel from ireland

[@1930Granada]

Just remember, there was a time where fiddlers weren't near as rare as they are now. There were plenty like her, long back. Most of the greats, like Chubby Wise, Paul Warren, Curly Ray Cline, Gordon Terry, Arthur Smith, and Jim Shumate, are gone. Fortunately, Giddens and Bobby Hicks are still with us.

[@p.j.mercer964]

Mine too, she is special. No glitz, just plain ol talent and presence.

[@suzannebaker5078]

[@johnmc3862]

Good for you!

[@harvdog5669]

This young lady is also a banjo player in a guitar player I've been listening to her for the last 3 days and lots of different videos she's doing really well and she plays a nice banjo with No frets on it from Africa

[@Mr195357]

I love this woman! She is a celestial being I believe. I have never heard anyone better.

[@zhubajie6940]

Loved her when she played with the Carolina Chocolate Drops. So glad able to catch her here.

[@cathalodiubhain5739]

there is no word out there to describe this lady, her music says it all

[@sufenta67]

Bass player was INTO IT!!!

[@scoberg]

She majored in opera in college, and has an amazing classical voice, as well as doing incredible old-time stuff. She does a stunning version, in perfectly-pronounced French of Edith Piaf's "La Vie en Rose." Search for it here on KZbin; you'll be blown away.

[@markpieexplores]

Love how much she enjoys it, it's contagious

[@debbiefulton1001]

She's also a classically trained opera singer

[@sandramorey2529]

As was one of her mentors, Odetta.

[@cpoorker]

Wow - their music and her smile just made my day....awesome!

[@mjw12345]

Rhiannon - love her, fine artist, lovely person from what I've heard and seen,

[@saffronskies333]

I never get tired of watching this... she is SUCH A BADASS

[@muralbutton80andfreinds35]

Until tonight I had never heard of this lady, how remarkable.

[@sandtats]

Hadn't heard of her until this evening. She was one of the performers on Boston Pops July 4th concert. I had the TV on, heard her from another room singing She's Got You. Her voice stopped me in my tracks. She followed that with Pretty Little Girl...barefoot. Spent the past hour researching her. Amazingly talented woman, pure Americana, a true original, beautiful inside and out.

[@powbobs]

MuralButton80 andfreinds I first discovered her with her first band. The Carolina Chocolate Drops. Check them out. Amazing

[@1930Granada]

Not many old-time fiddlers left. Glad to see someone relatively young is keeping it alive.

[@powbobs]

1930 Granada Fiddle is alive and well. It’s just not mainstream.

[@theawesomeharveygogangbroo9443]

Trying to explain to my friends, the words I was looking for, Fiddling is a live,just ain't Mainstream. Thank you

[@puddnheadwilson2956]

As usual, I'm late to the party . . .what talent!

[@Barigoddess]

I thought she was great singing and playing banjo, but now, I'm just blown away. Wow!!!!

[@heyrendc]

What a talent i could listen to her all day. She sing so many types of music

[@SpiPou]

Sometimes I do listen to her the whole day!

[@johnmeadows5645]

FOLKS, it just don't get any better than this.

[@patricklynch742]

How can you not fall in love with this beautiful, talented woman.

[@jerrynappi2349]

[@shawngraham3598]

Rhiannon is a Goddess come down to entertain us!!!

[@melanigaster]

This is 3 minutes and one second of pure talent and energy. You hit it out of the park into the next county!

[@tangobango9653]

Talented, interesting, intelligent, beautiful...what else can I say about you Rhiannon?

[@jackjohnson6063]

Hey Lady, haven't heard this song for some months now. You're fantastic but you've kind of drifted from us into something above some of us the last few years. Come back and see us from time to time. We still love you.

[@tom7471]

She is beyond awesome! Wow! What talent!

[@howardlenow]

Simply amazing. I agree with the comment above. She is incomparable in her range and the talent of a generation.

Their collective sense of timing is great

One of my favorites!

[@loraineschoenfield462]

FABULOUS!!!! Rhiannon is so talented! Totally amazing!!!

[@adaisepulveda]

I was introduced to this artist by her 4th of July performance with the Boston Pops. She played the fiddle, sang and danced the song, "Pretty Little Girl...", amongst others, and I was charmed by her talent, charisma and beauty. After researching her and learning about how much her racial mix informs her music I added her records to my Pandora collection :)

[@lioneljohnpilcher204]

Thanks, I get happiness 😊. You go lady and keep on going

[@benstone642]

I cant get enough

[@bobboscarato1313]

[@mikehunt4780]

It's impossible to not fall crazy in love with her !!!

[@REbullet1954]

More than a touch of Grand Ole Opry!

[@richardmcguinness9073]

REbullet1954 ...Actually, PRE-Grand Ole Oprey, I would say.

[@1930Granada]

Richard McGuinness Actually, this was how most banjer pickers on the Opry played before Earl Scruggs showed up. Uncle Dave Macon played like this, Sam McGee played like this, and David "Stringbean" Akeman played like this.

[@VerbranntiChaib1]

Just put this on my best ever list.

[@jaybabel3528]

Gosh she rocks! Just the look of pure joy when she starts playing is the best! Keep on being awesome and thank you for playing!

[@MaskedMan66]

Wow! I'd heard her music, but I never knew she was a fiddler as well as a singer!

[@nothinghere2683]

Bro that bass is going HAM

[@rainiedwards2342]

My goodness, magnificent ,and I am going to learn how to play the fiddle that way..... I have left handed violin and viola. What a God give gift to us all. Embrace this genius this wonderful lady, and thanks for the upload. My hero. Good day.

[@kilakila992kilakila2]

It took me three more years...

[@dtcj04]

Fantastic!..... Lifts the spirit!

[@carlbowden4712]

This gals talent just never ceases to amaze!!

[@tawutke]

Great talent. First time I've seen her wear shoes.

[@gratefulpete4810]

Absolutely electric. She let that voice out and I got goose bumps. Incredible energy here. I've just found another artist to dig into... love it!

[@thedarksideoftheforce6658]

Most white people of the new generation don't understand bango was played by African slaves continuing the origin of the original instrument called the ankongting. Bluegrass is a combination of Irish settlers mixing in the African origins of the banjo and blues. So a friend of mine was shocked when he saw a black person singing bluegrass and playing a banjo and I told him about the African history and Irish influence ballads creating bluegrass.

[@johncoppedge6409]

My brother in law introduced me to her and I am hooked! I am so happy he knew I would love her!!! AMAZING God Given Talent and Beautiful at the same time. Thanks Jerry for taking the time! I am obsessed!
