My great aunt Cynthia May Carver wrote this song. Her stage name was Cousin Emmy. It delights me to hear this

[@johncrawford6568]

Rhiannon you have helped heal my soul. I was born into a deep South clan led family. Was raised to hate anyone not white. I am now 70 yrs old and so ashamed. As a mtn man I have always loved bluegrass. After seeing you on PBS I must say you are a bright star on the music scene.. So terribly ashamed. Thank you my dear.

[@creoleviking8433]

Now you see the truth that has always been right in front of you. You dont have to carry someone else's burden. Lay it on down John.

[@MicahBlackLight]

I’ll just add a small something to what Creole Viking put forth: you were RAISED on hate. Barring some terrible legitimate crimes you committed in service to that hate, you need not carry any shame. Parents, peers-it’s who we learn from, get much of our identity from. It takes time to find our own voice, our own truth. No matter how long it took you, you’re here now. The shame will not serve you. Your opened eyes, open heart and appreciation absolutely will.

Madness. Rhiannon is the most fierce, the most talented, the most beautiful woman on the planet.... and what a great murder of musicians she is surrounded with.

Rhiannon Giddens is an incredible musician and singer. One of my new favorites.

Meeeeeeeee toooooo. I just found out about her this week! She's absolutely amazing!

[@indigokids88]

My neighbors have never heard of rhianno before they love it ❤❤❤ I said me too

[@scottsmith4612]

My definition of an attractive woman is all-encompassing: beauty, brains, wit, heart, soul, kindness, passion, talent, and more. Rhiannon pegs the meter in every way. Truly an amazing creation of God.

[@alexgreen5847]

Rhiannon is an incredible musical talent. And a very pretty lady ! Her career has much longevity!

[@saffronskies333]

This woman knocks me OUT... I love her- what a soul.

[@troynov1965]

That is one mighty talented woman. One of the best in the world today.

[@brendamilloy2557]

RIP Bobby Osborne, the sweetest tenor to ever lift his voice to the heavens. Rhiannon does this song justice. Beautiful!

[@unwrought9757]

Believe it or not I heard a radio broadcast with your music here in the Czech Republic, the very middle of Europe. I became your fan immediately having heard the relation. Thanks for your wonderful music and thorough and true musicanship.

[@shiftyhenry5133]

I just saw her on the pbs special she bloody killed it

[@seycas118]

I did too!! Great specials, but for me, she was the best part ...

[@jennygentner638]

I watched it earlier today and absolutely had to watch again for my husband! She is incredible!!

[@princeinflorida214]

In the grand finale of the gala show, it annoyed me that Marty Stuart hogged the microphone from her. But I could still hear her loud and clear.

[@elgersmam]

That performance was FIRE!

[@schout777]

I wish I could see that performance again without having to buy it.

[@carlruf9037]

Alot of collection of musical influences in Americana music. African, Irish, Scot, English Ballad, French Canadian (Cajun) and Creole. Even though the banjo is associated with blue-grass it was an instrument developed and played by early African-Americans. The old time flailing and claw-hammer banjo is the best. Rhiannon does a fantastic job bridging these styles and cultures.

[@flightyrambler8650]

Her voice hooked me from the first. Damn. Her dress is lovely!

[@cacciato69]

but she barefoot'n

[@RexJacobsen]

Soooo talented. And what a voice. I could listen to her all day.

[@mrjamila88]

She should be played on country music stations instead. What a talent! The whole band is awesome.

[@charlestims1851]

Seeing her with my "Central-European" eyes, there is nothing else to say than - she’s really wonderful. The way she sings, moves and makes gestures... A real intellectual among musicians worldwide (!)

[@davidllewis4075]

This came up on KZbin, couldn't wait to see what that girl would do with it. (For the record I'm old enough to be her grandfather, so she's a girl to me.)

[@cindylou3176]

I saw you on PBS for the Ken Burns Country Music concert. You blew me AWAY🤯🤯 I was raised with my Dad singing me songs while playing the Banjo and it’s part of my soul. I didn’t know your name until yesterday but I FOUND YOU!!🤗🥰 The Country Music documentary is playing again on PBS and it reminded me of this incredible singer & musician who wore a red dress, bare feet & played a primitive banjo better than Pete Seeger and Grandpa Jones!!🤩 I think you make root music sound the way it should!! I can hear the influences of multiple cultures and it’s very satisfying!! Love the clacking instrument + the sound your banjo makes together!! This song just amazes me. Thank you!!❤

[@paulpatriot1776]

Rhiannon, you are simply amazing! I will count it a Blessing the day I get to see you perform in person.

[@fazbell]

Great repertoir and great voice. Giddens is a rare genius.

[@larrytharp9521]

What a great group of musicians!

I am dreaming. That woman does not exist.

Rhiannon how can anyone give you a thumbs down. You’re spectacular!!! Greatest of your generation,one of the all time best. Cultural ignoramuses who don’t see it.

[@katbowl9971]

I've been binge watching Rhiannon for a couple days. She is so good. Can't get enough of her!

Exactly Kat... Me too. The last couple of days... Where did she come from all of a sudden?

Love her infectious enthusiasm for the history of roots music and the instruments used to play it, not to mention her own mountain of talent.

Absolute class mate best version I’ve seen

[@1999bmwm3baby]

She is phenomenal! Damn! Her cd "All the Pretty Horses" showcases her folk voice. I am not into her blues but her bluegrass is epic!!👏 She just decided to learn the banjo, and here we are!😉

I just discovered Rhiannon, and i am loving, greetings from Brazil.

[@Bennett94941]

Thank you for this Thanksgiving treat. The band is tighter than ever! Rowan's bones really help drive the engine. Listening to the band with Rhiannon at the helm is pure joy and energy.!

[@johendren8893]

Never thought I'd hear anyone cover this song as well as the Osborne Brothers--she does. It's different from it's bluegrass renditions, but uniquely beautiful!

[@manuelh7375]

My grandaughter Ruby...Very specials bloodS run through her veins..this song could be about her.

Agree. Thoroughly enjoy this version. Written by Cynthia Carver and popularized by the Osborne Brothers.
