KRCB Live Episode 201 - "The Carolina Chocolate Drops" part one 

I believe Rhiannon Giddens is a National Treasure and we are lucky to have her. I am 70 years old and so many of my favorites are now dead.

So sad this band is no longer together , they were a revelation. You tube, don't ever lose this stuff!

I learned about early American music in the late 79s when it was real popular in the form of festivals. When I saw the bones being played, I loved the rhythm. I found someone who sold then ..real bones, not plastic. It wasn't til this show, I see them being played at this extent...two sets per player. It's awesome!!! Thanks for posting! I love Rhiannons music with the rest of the band. Ya'll are awesome!!!

Love your music and different instruments and voices

Absolutely outstanding talents. Love it.

I found this group because of my passion for Rhiannon Giddens' Silk Road work. Thank goodness for the internet!

February 15, 2014... Last night had to be the most 'hand clappin', ,foot stompin, Valentine's Day of my life. It being such a special day and all, plus me flying into the cold Louisiana weather from Maine,(no really, there were icicles hangin' down from my brother's roof!) anyways... my brother thought he would treat his wife Missy and I to a music show. So, we drove down streets til we came to the 'heart of New Orleans', squeeeeezed into a space on the corner of Napoleon Ave, and made our way across the street straight into the dimly lit, much loved, historical music hall, 'Tipitina's'. First thing my brother said was, "get in and go almost all the way up to the front then plant yourself in the middle of the stage." Well that was sure easy, there were no chairs anywhere-? Well I soon enough found out why, when the 'Carolina Chocolate Drops' came on stage. They quickly picked up the cello, fiddle, banjo, and 'bones' and I can tell you straight, what began was the best hand clappin', foot stompin, I have ever heard! And me being me, I respected everybodies space and hopped, jumped, wiggled, clapped and twirled in the teeniest, tiniest little circle, no one even noticed. The sounds of the instruments and the singing were soooooo, well, awesome. Oh, and did I mention that the band is the Grammy award winning 'Carolina Chocolate Drops'? Plus did you know they will be performing in Brownfield, Maine in April? They play 'wicked good' stuff. So come on Mainers buy up those tickets...

Joyous music. I love this group. They are truly talented musicians and singers. :)

Amazing band!

What a voice, what a beauty!

Phenomenal talent and timing as a group.

MAGNIFICENT!

Just saw Dom Flemons in concert here in Tennessee last night. He was great!

I love this band

Pretty much the greatest band of the last 20 years as far as I'm concerned. Every member is a brilliantly talented multi-instrumentalist prodigy. They are all doing solo stuff now, and sadly I think Dom and Leyla are officially out of the band, but hopefully there will be a reunion. Check out the solo stuff. Rhiannon's work on the New Basement Tapes has gotten a fair amount of press, and Dom's Prospect Hill is great, but what really blew me away was Leyla's tribute to Langston Hughes, Vari-Colored songs. So so good. (I like to pretend I'm on a first name basis with the band, but if I were to meet them I'd be all star-struck and agape)

Goddamn. That was one helluva show. Phew.

I am really enjoying this music I never thought I would be listening to country-and-western I'm not sure if that's what you call it or bluegrass whatever it is it's smoking, very joyful and rhythmic I dig the way this woman sings

So great such great music.

Just silly amounts of talent here. How can we be so lucky?

Can't believe it,where are the 50000 + views ?

Love that sound

Now I'm impressed!

Wow. Just wow.

Love it!!!

Son geniales me encanta todo lo que tocan y ni hablar de cómo cantan los amo 💕💕

Pure fun! I can't sit still.

superb - fun - swing - skillful - top

Dom is a mighty fine bone player.

When are you coming to Wilmington NC?

where is part 2 link please

What talent do these people not have?

If you like these guys....check out Pokey LaFarge. You will not be disappointed.

the song 'no romance mamma' is not kind to us divorced men. we're not all rats .

they wiggle, they jiggle, they say things and make like heros ect Booof !! never again (never say never)

I feel bad for this band's sound person. Switching instruments all the time, everything miced, no pickups or direct inputs as with a keyboard or something, different vocal arrangements with all of them singing sometimes and just one other times. It must not be easy. On the other hand, I assume the band themselves rehearse completely acoustically with no amplification. The way it used to be. The way it should be more often. (Not always of course)
