The Pride In Her Face..And the way she carries herself..as she blazes Through This GREAT Old Trad Tune....Is UNREAL!!!!!!...What A Role Model For Musicians EVERYWHERE!!!!! Thanks for the Post..Fantastic Work Rhiannon!!!!!!!!!
Hands down best version of this traditional song I've ever heard and I've heard more than a few. All that great sound coming out of one beautiful woman -- I musta died and gone to heaven for a few minutes.
I just had an epiphany about why I'm not fond of modern country music. The music I remember as a child was done like this. Rhiannon is a rare gem in today's plastic world. Pay attention all you posers.
Try her song at the purchasers option or cry no more...womans a freekin powerhouse thank you for your music dear sister love and light .. ..you rock my soul....way down deep
Never gets old, this is music to my mountain kid ears. And if you somehow don`t know about the new basement tapes the you need to drop what your doing and bless your ears with the sweetest of music.
The now famous former member of the Carolina Chocolate Drops featured on a Chieftains album. She is half Irish & half African (Ethiopian I think) and she speaks Irish. she can sing songs in Irish, which half of Irish people cannot even manage. They learn the basics in school but most do not pursue it much beyond. That is changing though. There was a time under British rule, Irish people could be hanged for speaking Irish or flying the green flag of Ireland.
Wow! In love with her as well as the music. I'd put a apron on for her, longs as it reads chef, and bake some biscuits and bacon gravy for her any time!
You see plenty of Irish fiddlers use a grip like that on the bow. See lots of "non standard" ways of holding the fiddle too. I also think she's maybe in an alternate tuning, such as AEAe to facilitate playing drones, but Hey! she's every bit good enough to get drones in standard tuning GDAe!
