Rhiannon Giddens "Spanish Mary" on Austin City Limits

[@brianwood7480]

I'm just so effing speechless listening to this woman who oozes passion and reality from every pore of her being. And she's so beautiful too.

[@JamesCordillio]

First time hearing her and to think she's been here all the while, incredible, amazing, reminds me of my younger days when folk music was the genre. What a prize.

[@richardbailey2130]

This woman is a National Treasure!😳💜

[@juniorjohnson9509]

The lady is a rare talent.

[@russfry7776]

She smiles while shes giving us goose bumps and controlling that awesome voice.

[@cathylopez1345]

this is not a legend in the making .. this is a legend !!! She inspires me !!! the music is off the charts (literary) no comercial garbage here!!!

[@cuchulainn1659]

I'm Irish, I been listening to jigs and reels me whole life, but damn, Rhiannon has managed to encapsulate the poetic meaning and nuances of Irish music, damn....

[@Machihekamake]

I was thinking this song had Irish hints too. She is very talented.

[@GoogleGoogle-fy3cj]

She actually has recorded some songs in Irish. Give a listen.

[@indigoblue91]

Most Black Americans have Irish ancestry but we dont usually doscuss it in public because of trauma of slavery. However, we lived among the Irish in the north and the south so we shared music food and culture with one another and created new music and had children with each other. Even my family. I learned about the music and the resilience of the Irish and really like the culture. I appreciate Rhiannon is educating America about African, black american and Irish influence in American music.

[@vivdoolan6846]

Yes .... i have irish roots im a bodrhain player and I love playing along to this.

[@jodeneantonson985]

I just heard of her for the first time last week. I’m completely hooked. Her music captures the essence of so many cultures.

[@robfriesen2341]

Plain and simple one of the best voices in music today. Can't wait to see her resume grow.

A Bob Dylan dalok feldolgozásairól kèszült filmben láttam, amikor ezt a számot kèszitette! 👍❤️💥

[@vgrof2315]

Wow!!!...incredible!!!

[@ehotel]

holy shit! awesome.

[@dmitryponsov2870]

Very! Very! Tnx!

[@robertjakob7009]

How much of a badass do you have to be to play a fretless banjo?

[@blueblur6447]

Left or Right Handed. She can sing in like 5 languages, in multiple styles... And on and On. One of the best!

[@kernowdrewsta]

With nylon strings?! I am so confused!!

[@saffronskies333]

this is a late reply... but, one helluva badass!!!

[@TheAnticolano]

fantastica

[@stacym735]

WOW!

[@kindguy4106]

Amazing guys

[@r.thomas9648]

I'm glad I found out about her from Red Dead Redemption 2's soundtrack. "Mountain Banjo". Had no clue she could sing too!

[@Pur9leRain]

She reminds me of Emmylou Harris. Americans keep producing these amazing women! Alicia Keys is another one I love. They can sing with no music or backing singers and still shake the foundations of the building. And we have the Spice Girls 😂

[@coy0te9]

Y'all have Eliza Carthy, Kathryn Tickell and The Unthanks. Plus The Spice Girls who were fun.

[@frankrosati6403]

There were three sailors, bold and true With cargo they did carry They sailed away on the ocean blue For the love of Spanish Mary So deeply now were they disturbed No longer could they tarry Swoon and swerve For the love of Spanish Mary In Kingston Town of high degree The buffoon, the fool, the fairy All paid the dues and inquired to me For the love of Spanish Mary Beggar man, beggar man tell me no lie Is it a mystery to live or is it a mystery to die? I seek ye not to ask of you It was in Kingston Town indeed It is said they stopped but not for greed But for the love of Spanish Mary I remember well, they came one day The buffoon, the fool, the fairy They asked of me what could I say For the love of Spanish Mary 'Tis not of me to talk absurd No rumour do I carry No, I'll not give you one word But for the love of Spanish Mary Beggar man, beggar man tell me no lie Is it a mystery to live or is it a mystery to die?

[@eddiewillers1442]

Holy BeJesus!

[@bonfireblu]

One day Ill see her in Concert, and my guitar gonna get me in the show and by My Luck and good fortune will give me the opportunity to play a song or 2 with her. In my dreams thats how it would go anyway. Lmao

[@oldskool2044]

damn!!!

[@afro70]

This performance it's like the light St Paul saw on the way to Damasco

[@oldtrio1]

Spanish mary

[@juditbicskey]

[@Piggy-Oink-Oink]

[@juditbicskey]

Láttam a filmet, ahol Bob Dylan dalokat feldolgoztak. Ott kèszitette Rhiannon ezt is! 🎸😍

[@gomofly]

Just in case you're mystified by some of the subtitles, here's the lyrics: There were three sailors, bold and true With cargo they did carry They sailed away on the ocean blue For the love of Spanish Mary So deeply now were they disturbed No longer could they tarry Swoon and swerve For the love of Spanish Mary In Kingston town of high degree The buffoon, the fool, the fairy All paid the dues and inquired to me For the love of Spanish Mary Beggar man, beggar man tell me no lie Is it a mystery to live or is it a mystery to die I seek ye not to ask of you It was in Kingston town indeed It is said they stopped but not for greed But for the love of Spanish Mary I remember well, they came one day The buffoon, the fool, the fairy They asked of me what could I say For the love of Spanish Mary ‘Tis not of me to talk absurd No rumor do I carry No, I’ll not give you one word But for the love of Spanish Mary Beggar man, beggar man tell me no lie Is it a mystery to live or is it a mystery to die

[@jtrevino5268]

Seriously this song scares me

[@waski672]

Not just another bare foot girl playing the banjo.

[@jazzmanchgo]

I always like it when a singer bares her sole.

[@lesfreligh4139]

A definitely amazing thing to behold, especially in this lifetime ! ! !

[@reneepuvvada]

WHAT?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@zzausel]

Dear recording team, a banjo is not a mandolin. Just for your general education.

[@c.s.mcleod7383]

David Lindley would be a great fit.

[@davidgreen3532]

Celtic blues?

The Buffoon, The Fool, The Fairy, not The Buffoon, The FUR, The Fairy.
