Genuine Negro Jig

I've posted tunes by this group before, and I was reminded of them the other night when they appeared on the Tavis Smiley show.

I like old time string band music, which we tend to think of as a white musical tradition. It's not really, as these kids show. I think they have a certain "tongue-in-cheekiness" about them too. Enjoy.

Just a personal observation - Dom, on the left, looks like the most confused Orthodox Jew ever, and I think I detected a slight Klezmer undertone at one point. Heh.

The Carolina Chocolate Drops (Wiki - G) offer a preview of their Nonesuch debut album, Genuine Negro Jig, capturing live performances, interviews with all three band members—Dom Flemons, Rhiannon Giddens, and Justin Robinson — and a few words from the album's producer, Joe Henry.

Thanks to nonesuchrecords.
