Sod Lonnie bloody Donegan this is the real deal, although, Rhiannon clearly got it from Odetta. Indeed, I had/have an Odetta e.p. where she sings this song.
She has the musical talent and vocal ability to make you feel joyous or to bring you to tears. To make you want to get up and dance or just sit there in appreciation of the beauty of her voice. A rare talent and there are many talented musicians and singers but she is truly a once in a generation vocalist.
FANTASTIC!! Real MUSIC is what brings people together!!! It knows no money, color or religion!!!! She has a GIFT to give!! I love her and her band!! Such a breath of fresh classic true REAL storytelling music!!!
Real music is expression. It's an expression of love, hate, color, money, religion, no religion, suffering, joy....culture. It knows it all and is a reflection of life.
Giddens has an amazing voice. Was lucky to see her during her Freedom Highway tour. Fantastic show. Her biggest inspiration, and the one she considers the best female ctry singer ever, is Patsy Cline, who was, indeed, an incredible talent, lost way too soon. This is more roots music imo. Giddens also has bit of wide range of genres...Roots music, Bluegrass (another type of roots music), country, gospel, folk, African, Appalachia, Celtic, Jug Band..& more. 🙃 She plays multiple instruments very well. What a treasure she is. I'm always telling ppl I meet, or new friends about her. And most haven't heard of her. They missing out! 🥰
Awesome and highly versatile range for so many different stances in folk blues. Love her gritty and pure tuned style! First time I heard of you is tonight, thank you youtube. You are a rare talent, dear woman.
As Rihannonn is on Tour in France this 2017 december, I Just discover this incredible voice and person. I can't find the words to tell how it moves me deeply. For the small story, last week, I told My 80 Years old Uncle an Aunt, living 200 kilometers from her coming performance in LORIENT (French Brittany) : "Well, knowing how you love real voices, I think you should listen to this..." 5 hours later, they sent me :" we just bought the ticks : it's not near home, but we won't miss this for an empire !" Beauty wether it come from thev oice, the soul, or both, is priceless. Thank You Rihannon and Hubby !
Such a breath of fresh air. Such a breath of wonderful old air. She brings the ancients out of their graves, back to life, and explains to them how wonderful and important they were. I am stirred to the depth of my soul. This is not just amazing talent we are watching and hearing, it is an American spiritual revival. She/they are introducing us to our heritage. I am so grateful that Rhiannon chose the path she chose.
What an amazing voice. This song gives me chills because Rhiannon is just that damn good as a singer (and she is an extremely talented musician as well).
Ich war kürzlich an ihrer Gig in Milano. Voll Wahnsinn was diese Frau bringt. Sie begrüsste uns auf italieenisch und die Beigabe war eine italienische Kantate. Sie, ihre Band und das Publikum wie eine grosse Familie.
HOLY shit Rhiannon and Hubby! Give em hell! Its time people here the real history lessons from qualified people. I loved learning from you. But I an sooooo happy for your success in telling the story of the south and it's trials. I studied with John Cephas for 10 years and he taught me more than anyone could imagine.And not just about playing Piedmont blues but he would have me listen to the recordings. He would set the stage about the social climate for those who played and wrote it. I grew up and live in the south and remember seeing segregation. I did not understand it or adhere to it thanks to my black and white parents whose heart is filled with only love love. Beck says hi!
I love how they kept blank faces and played almost mechanically at first...and then made such a radical shift. Rhiannon knows how to play it for maximum impact (and I assume Hubby does, too. Gotta look his work up...)
Truly, there is no end to this woman's talents. I have been listening to her classical music podcast Aria Code and that is brilliant too. Of course, I am biased because I am deeply and irrevocably smitten.
It's just much too short ! Wonderful Rhiannon Giddens !!! (except your hair on that day - and your make-up as well ; you really DON'T NEED that, you're naturally soooooo BEAUTIFUL 🥰 !!!!!). I do love your exceptional voice... And I know how many music instruments you can play (even the KAZOO ! Fiddle 🎻 , banjo, etc...... Perhaps not the "bones" 😉 ? ) Congratulations from France and I beg your pardon for my so bad English 😌 !......... I enjoy so much listening to : "JULIE" or : "YOU CAN TAKE MY BODY....." or : "CORNBREADS & BUTTERBEANS" !!!!!! Much love from Marseilles in South-east France . 🙋♀️ 🌿 🇫🇷
No one has the right to tell Rhiannon Giddens what clothes to wear, and whether she should wear makeup or not. Would you make similar comments about a male singer?
