This woman is an American National Treasure what talent, depth and soul she weaves into her musical tapestries

@sylviamccullers4355 8 лет назад

Why isn't this talented woman super famous?

@lauryndb 7 лет назад

Rhiannon Giddens is the whole package. She possesses a uniquely beautiful, expressive voice, range, songwriting brilliance, an intuitive understanding of how to approach every line and note. On top of that she is a deft instrumentalist, historian, world-class beauty and tremendous stage presence. A goddess.

@Makez33 4 года назад

Maybe, MAYBE, one day I will be able to listen to this song and not tear up. This is probably the 20th or 30th time and not even close. I heard you sing it once live, Ms. Giddens, and you are an American Treasure.

@worchj01 4 года назад

No one should have this much talent, depth, passion, skill, and beauty. Incredible.

Understated, clean, elegant, genuine. I was thinking this was a traditional, I see by the notes above (thank you for them!) that Rhiannon composed this using a memoir as inspiration, it's so well conceived.

@pr0xykill978 7 лет назад

Susan Rose I'm not sure I understand the chain of events-- does the Mistress want her to leave or not? Why does she want Julie to claim the gold is hers?

@susannahrose9928 7 лет назад

PrOxykill - I can't see your comment, but I have an email saying you asked a question about what was happening in the song and why. Yankee soldiers are approaching, and Julie's mistress is concerned that Julie will be liberated by them and leave her. Julie has done the necessary work of convincing her mistress that she has only the mistress's best interests at heart and holds no grudges. The mistress wants Julie to say the gold belongs to Julie so the soldiers won't take it from her. No chance!

@jjohnson10321032 7 лет назад

@LilacUnderworld 6 лет назад

That's some powerful storytelling right there! She's got a hell of a lot of heart and soul and you can see she feels every word she sings as it came from a place of struggle from the 19th century's slave's memoir! Shame about the sound, but thanks for the link to the corrected version and thanks for the upload or I wouldn't have discovered this masterpiece! :)

These cruel things happened - again and again. A powerful song distilling so much pain in simple words.

@Andrea-xs4ny 5 лет назад

Wow. That was just amazing. The last few lines really express the pain and suffering: "That trunk of gold Is what you got when my children you sold. Mistress, oh mistress, Don't you cry. The price of stayin' here is too high. Mistress, oh mistress, I wish you well, But in leavin' here, I'm leavin' hell."

@winkleWHAT 5 лет назад

This woman is a brand new discovery for me tonight. I am so happy to have happened upon her while looking up American Folk Music. She sings better than any of the other artists I have been listening to. But, if it weren't for researching the past music, I never would have found her. Thank you Pete Seeger et all !

This is beautiful and beautifully performed. Folk music will always be necessary because it helps us lament and recount and grieve and celebrate. It makes us see through honest plain spoken means how we are attached to the earth and to each other-- for bad or good. Thank you so much for sharing this.

Shout out to the OTS, really miss the old Folk & Roots festival. Square Roots just doesn't cut it IMO, now it's just another crowded street festival. Sooooo much better when they set up in Welles Park and you could spread your blankets out and bring the whole family for a day in the park. Not so easy any more to bring the wee ones and the old folks when it's just a big old crowded street with no where to set up camp.
