Her voice is pure and without artifice. She has no gimmicks or additives. She sounds like she’s smiling and it’s a genuine and beautiful smile. Top female vocalist IMHO.

[@jonathanparker8084]

The greatest gift I was given was hearing Rhiannon Giddens.

[@k9six185]

Her voice is clean and clear.....no auto tune .....most singers can’t hold a candle to her!

[@Kevin-oe9cx]

I cannot believe I have not heard of this beautiful soul before. She’s so incredibly talented musically and vocally, she’s simply perfection!

[@JamieMelvilleTV]

Oh damn. 30 seconds into the song and I'm already balling my eyes out. So, so, so beautiful.

[@Cocobon-co2rr]

I have been blessed to see her and the incredible musicians she collaborates with 3 times. Each time I am more amazed by her talent. So unapologetically HERSELF. Incredible!

[@ZzZ0ne]

every day u can spend with someone thats more then 1 generation away from your own is a gift

[@mediamarv1]

Just saw her, Dirk and the band last night. This song brought tears to all of us. Outstanding talent.

[@ronnieorsak9132]

She just makes me smile takes the pain of this world away helps me visit my son who is with the lord now. Love you jeremiah

[@paulgleitman7096]

She’s priceless. A precious gem. Generational.

[@paulgleitman7096]

She’s exceptional. Generational. A throwback to the folk singing era . I rate her with all the greats ,perhaps a notch higher . I’ve heard them all going back Pete Seager & The Weavers , Josh White + like Huddy Leadbetter, Bessie Smith.

[@philhayhoe1]

Stunning. Authenticity is the new currency.

[@luthiermatt]

Yes, I was trying to come up with the right word. Authentic.

[@fluffyfluffykatz]

This is one of those songs that just brings tears to my eyes every single time I listen to it

[@paulgleitman7754]

Beautiful song , beautiful singer , wonderful voice . A throwback to an earlier time - folk.

[@martinwall7297]

this is music history.

[@johnnyjensen6067]

I've just discovered her from watching a 2017 interview with Linda Ronstadt who is a fan of this lady, and Dirk Powell is a very talented musician who has worked and travelled a lot with the great Joan Baez. Great singer this gal!!!

[@garysmith1615]

Have you checked out did the Carolina chocolate drops? This I believe is her first band more of an old folk style

[@johnnyjensen6067]

@@garysmith1615 Yes, I have, thank you.

[@jacobmclaughlin6049]

This song sailed me to the promised land. Thank you, and fly away somewhere beautiful

[@bobbowen4786]

A couple of years ago, I was reduced to a quivering mass of blubbering tears when she performed this at Dartmouth's Spaulding Auditorium. It's just the most heartbreaking, yet inspiring song I've ever heard, and this lady can sing it like an angel. Absolutely stunning!

[@willysunday]

I've been around a long ol' time and can't think of anything better than this. amazing

[@lorilori7126]

It was a treasure to see this live in Santa Barbara. This gal! XXXOOO. A true legacy.

[@howardlenow]

Resplendent, soaring, heartfelt…..a voice for the ages.

[@luthiermatt]

RG sings with such a powerful and dynamic voice. There is something so honest about the way she sings. What she does with her vocals honors the song. Every time.

[@carolmikofsky4976]

Anton and nephew Myles went to see/hear her in Central Park last summer. This song reminds me what a good violinist Rhiannon is. One of your many talents, beautiful musician!

Rhiannon is good, but if you take away that clarion voice, fiddle playing, banjo picking, basically savant like skill playing anything with strings, pure raw musicality, her soulful melodies, devastating lyrics... sorry, I forgot where I was going with this.
