Libba Cotten was a well-regarded guitar player who was born in North Carolina and discovered when she was keeping house for the Seeger family. She played a unique left-handed style of guitar but didn't have all her voice left in her later years - on her recording of “Shake Sugaree,” her granddaughter Brenda Evans sings the lyrics, about making the most out of what you got.

Elizabeth Cotton is smiling and shaking her head with approval somewhere right now.

[@JerrysAscentInaHAB5]

wattsun Carolina Pride!!!!

[@markstocker5121]

Saw Elizabeth Cotton back in 1979 along with Taj Mahal. This is a great cover of her song.

[@lindagitter1388]

Don't know why Rhiannon is not the talk of the Tube, because her music is absolutely fabulous-the phrasing, the musicality, and the voice. Love to listen to her; am buying her latest album.

[@kevinpotts123]

She sounds just as good live and in person. If she tours anywhere near you, go see her, you will not regret it.

[@perspicaciouscritic]

@ Linda Gitter (who wondered, "Don't know why Rhiannon is not the talk of the Tube..."): Well, now that she's the recipient of the 2017 MacArthur Foundation ‘Genius’ Grant, I'm sure she'll be on more lips than usual.

[@paulaldebaran104]

good assessment linda

[@wendyrussell4191]

THis is her covering a song by Elizabeth cotton

[@doctorclarkable]

Restores your faith in humanity, does she not? Love the slide.

[@mattstiefel4806]

Amen to that.

[@tbone4646]

Giddens and Alison Krauss should try a duet or two.

[@RT-me3wn]

Yeah, and Giddens and Gillian Welch.

[@kennydnolan]

It'll probably happen. Alison loves to collaborate.

[@EvilScubaKitty]

Just saw this "phenomenal woman" in Colorado....never saw her before...I will never be the same.

[@BrianDay4545]

Phenomal Amazing! God Blessed!

[@MissBrendaLeeGertman]

Can't wait to see her!!

[@MoorOfDundee]

SHAKE Sugaree written by one of other hero's Elizabeth Cotten...WONDERFUL that Rhiannon cut it too!

[@AnnaAnnaYes]

My friend turned me on to you glad she did.My faith in Music restored.

[@elfcounsul]

Thanks to our local WUKY, her music has an outlet in our town. She will be in Lexington Ky on March 31st at the Opera House. I wouldn't have heard of her if it hadn't been for public radio. My wife and I will be there.

[@alandunlavey7027]

Her music is amazing.

[@taisie100]

Love this woman I love that she loves and respects musical history

[@Ritalto]

Love your voice and music Rhiannon Giddens. Amazing talent and beauty. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us. 🌟💖🔥

[@louisgreenstein6886]

Oh Lordy me. That's just gorgeous.

[@ripper0047]

If I close my eyes and listen for an angel I hear Rhiannon Giddens. She both moves me and soothes my soul. Wow!

[@scottcarroll9201]

A beautiful song paired with a beautiful voice is a treat for the gods.

[@ladyleesutter]

Rhannon Giddens amazes me. Everything she does is over the top excellent. Elizabeth Cotten would play and sing a verse or two for her great-grandchildren, and eventually each child wrote one verse each.

[@Broblem12]

You have such a soulful voice. A blessing to me and all of us. ☺

[@arthurbaker6275]

Saw her live at the State Theatre in Sydney Australia last night, 7 April 2017. Support act for Bonnie Raitt and her band. Didn't expect a support band, but delighted to have been introduced to Rhiannon and her very talented band. Superb. Oh, the voice. And the banjo. And the fiddle. And the range of music genres covered. I'm buying whatever CDs/DVDs I can find. Loved this performance. The songs with a Louisiana flavour were especially good. If she's performing in your town, you should buy tickets now.

[@lindakweeter7446]

Class act! Great show in Louisville - didn't want it to end! You can't come back soon enough!

[@stanlolo106]

Rhiannon each time you cast your net I am trapped again . What a skilled fisher you are! Absolument sublime, un bijou cette fille et elle est belle en plus! ça devrait passer en boucle sur les radio chez nous!!!! ( en France où on ingurgite une quantité invraisemblable de daube anglo-saxone sous prétexte que c'est en anglais) Là les paroles sont délicieusement douce-amères comme beaucoup de chanson trad des Appalaches.

[@gingerpennyk]

I saw her today in CBS..live..I JUST LOVE HER VOICE

[@kagokass]

as a fan of Elizabeth Cotten i adore the way her gift inherits a whole life in this rendition. lovely way to knit tradition together and she has done in in so many different styles. adorable work.

[@rememberourmusic53]

You have an incredibly beautiful voice!

[@TheBeekeeper]

This song is going to be stuck in my head for the rest of my life, and I don't mind one bit.

[@waymanjohnson3515]

Rhiannon I just love you. I think your version of Leaving Eden is one of the most beautiful songs that I have ever heard. I could listen to you sing from now on and never get tired of hearing your voice. Thank You for making the world a little more Beautiful, both visually and audibly.

[@Tearloch]

Like a breath of fresh air ... music in good hands ... with such exquisite artistry

[@ivanpetkov2933]

Im at peace with you voice....so elegant and wonderful....thank you

[@roberteggleston9662]

I saw her playing with the Boston Pops 4th of July Concert last night. Wow! It's always nice to learn about a talented musician I hadn't heard of before. Hopefully she will become a household name.

[@irishson06]

She was the best part of the Boston 4th of July concert 2018 (besides the Indigo Girls of course.... no one is better). Such a huge talent that had all of us in the crowd in awe.

[@tulsaducati]

She is life-changing

[@L2PSandK]

I just love everything about her voice and her CD. Just a wonderful interpreter and sound.

[@connorjames1760]

Ms. Giddens, you should come to Florida. Preferably somewhere in the St. Pete - Tampa area. I'd pay a whole bunch to come see you.

[@EvilScubaKitty]

Connor James Oh my...we would all be the better for adding her sound to our lives!

[@neonsparky]

Come to Pensacola

[@chipwIlbury]

Have a Little secret I have to tell I'm goin' to Heaven and not to … Oh Lordy me I'm so in love with Thee Everything Rhiannon is to me!!

[@vinmanr2d2]

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME !

[@ethnicmusiclover]

Just wanted to say that I love your music and you. Love this song. Brianna Lea Pruett, a singer songwriter that I love practiced this in a hotel window in a video on KZbin. She passed away Sept 2 at age of 32. Her music was so important to me after my wife Brenda passed away in December. Has been a difficult year. Brianna also did a version of Elizabeth Cotten's Freight Train. Fund this on Vemeo. I love the Carolina Chocolate Drops and your music. You are so beautiful. Just had to share this with you Duane Gibson Tucson, Az. Formerly of the White Mountains of Az.

[@maryjanegoncher3647]

Rhiannon is amazing! Her rendition of "She's Got You" on CBS Saturday Morning" just blew us away. I will buy her CDs.

[@JoleneBear1]

i can't help but to sing along i love this song! Rhiannon sings it so well

[@rayminthecat]

And that's how it's done

[@CynthiaAMartz]

What a voice!

[@audreynevermore3819]

Love everything that you do. Big fan from Randleman.

[@colinbell9534]

Bit late to the party... I have only just discovered this fantastic artist.

[@kentonadler]

We saw Rhiannon with the Carolina Chocolate Drops over in Mountain View, AR a few years back. Fantastic. You should come again, Rhiannon. The Schlimmers are with us now at Lyon College. Love this song.

[@skiergramma]

This woman is amazing. I had the pleasure of seeing her several years ago.

[@davemcbroom695]

Nashville brought me here. What an amazing voice!

[@alasdairwreid]

now that's a nice old one - just keep doing this stuff!!

[@sderoski1]

Please come to Seattle!

[@gracie9501]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@scarletcomptonbellew8470]

I was lucky enough to see Rhianna live at The Spinning Jenny up in Greer South Carolina.... and let me tell you.. the videos do not do her voice justice ! Seeing and Hearing her live was so amazing ! She sang this song..too little too late..too bad... I have searched everywhere for a video..Fat City Blues did the song but Rhianna make that song come to life ! How I am hoping she records it..cause it sure was a great song she made her own in the singing of it !

[@berniekroczekrealestate9393]

I first discovered Rhiannon on ABC Radio National in Australia. Sadly the miserable music haters who run the joint have decided that music does not fit into their Marxist ideology and have canned all music on the station. Thank you Radio National for introducing me to some of the best music in Australia and the world. It's been good knowing you.

[@Dcvillnz]

Dang that's right , you've got it - love it. !

[@Sunflower1199]

Loving her music and style......fine writer. My favorite this year.

[@timkjazz]

Go see her play when her tour hits your town, the intimate setting she will perform at will only enhance the experience of seeing a talent such as her.

[@ish474]

SOLO TOUR? I'll be front row for that one too

[@MedSou]

from north africa ,Simlpy beautiful 👍👍👍

[@iangillham9647]

What tasty playing, no showing off or grandstanding just the real deal.

[@CDA129]

Wonderfully played and sweetly sung. Most thoroughly enjoyed.

[@gessecrash]

Que voz...

[@GHMD321]

This is SUCH an amazing version. You rock

[@mrwed96msn]

Terrific ! Can't wait for your new album.

[@lastrada52]

If you like the beauty of Rhiannon's singing, a young lady who had been doing this type of song years before, is Madeleine Peyroux (some say she's a ghost of Billie Holiday) who goes vocally beautifully alongside Rhiannon's voice as well. I always play them together. "Life Is Fine," is a great introduction to her. Her cover of Patsy Cline's "Walkin' After Midnight," turned into a jazz tune is excellent. These two ladies would be wonderful together. I'd pay for that.

[@shawngraham3598]

Excellent!

[@gazotokun]

From Brazil, your voice makes my cry. Beauty Voice.

[@therun7024]

Been falling sleep to these for a few days, I love it so much

[@oldmanonthehill56]

Missed you last year.

[@LadeeJ87]

AMAZING voice!

[@coravisser727]

This is beautifull awesome.

[@Mantanhattan]

Damn. She's great.

[@rudolphpatush2071]

Heard this at a Starbucks reserve bar. Fell in love instantly.

[@patriciaunangst5135]

the most amazing talent...such range of content and musicality

[@400OTD]

Old timey great stuff! I'm about as god fearing as a piece of granite but this material makes me think that there MUST be something "Up Above My Head" orchestrating this and granting us the good fortune to hear it. I can't describe in words how well this entire album is put together! ,,,not a single breath or note wasted or out of place! Shake Sugaree......Sweet!! Thank you for this wonderful material! 400 OTD

[@angelagray8546]

I’m trying to get a handle on the phrase Shake sugaree...does anyone know what it means? I know the Dead song and remembered Elizabeth Cotton used it first. Glad I also found this recording. Very pretty and will be looking up more by this artist

[@joebueno715]

The voice of an angel ,carryon

[@hankdusommeil1065]

Super! Thank you Rhiannon

[@bt11able]

[@lumaz71]

you're Sugaree, ms. Giddens. Ciao!

[@thegardenpear]

Can't wait for Bonnaroo!

[@jonbebad]

Like a rocket out of the common soul, Rhiannon. Pleased to have found you. Keep a good lock on your happy place, things are probably gonna get very busy for you very soon. I can see you making waves in all kinds of genres, and would love to see many collaborations. Ry Cooder? ...Please? How about maybe just one cover off of Paradise and Lunch or Chicken Skin Music? Or a dirty Little Feat tune? Glad you're releasing on vinyl, the best! Cheers!!

[@gauri7251]

En bucle durante horas, hechizado por esa voz inefable.
