Rhiannon Giddens just shines doesn't she? Her performances honor the founding music of a nation - it's almost like she blows the dust off the buried musical treasures in the Library of Congress and breathes life back into them. And I must also acknowledge her collaborators not the least of whom are The Carolina Chocolate Drops. (If it's not already, it should be a candy treat)
