Album Description:
AS HEARD ON NPR!

'Even though the music's being played right in front of you, you expect to hear crackles and hisses as if the sounds were being torn from a salvaged 78.' - Independent Weekly

Terrific renditions of old-time classics from the Carolina Chocolate Drops as they reclaim their African American NC Piedmont string band musical traditions! This young group is the hottest thing to hit the old-time music community in decades, and have grabbed the attention of folks like Taj Mahal, Mike Seeger, Alice Gerrard, and John Sebastian.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Carolina Chocolate Drops
The Chocolate Drops are good for their age and will improve as they grow older and have more instructions and practice. I have heard better young people as well as many who were not as good. Again I say that with more practice and exposure they will be one of the better groups in the near future.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Several centuries of music education in two hours
One day not long ago, the Carolina Chocolate Drops formed out of the ether. Well ... not really. But the ether is where two of the three hung out, so to speak, chatting on a listserv with other Black Banjo enthusiasts. Over the course of the next few months, Dom Flemons and Rhiannon Giddens of the string band Sankofa Strings met up with Justin Robinson, then Joe Thompson, followed quickly by Etta Baker and Algia Mae Hinton. Flemons, Giddens and Robinson eventually became the Carolina Chocolate Drops, while Thompson, Baker and Hinton influenced and furthered the already-substantial musical education of the three. There's a distinct difference between learning the music formally, or by "transmission," growing up with it. Transmission is more of an osmotic process than an educational process, and that's what the frequent visits by the CCD to their adopted mentors hope to achieve.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Stunningly good!
I don't care how many string bands you've listened to, you ain't heard nothing like the Carolina Chocolate Drops. By resurrecting the African-American "Piedmont" style of string-band music, they've brought an electrifying new energy to the genre. The trio add their own enormous musicianship and rootsy attitude to produce a sound that is just breathtaking. Buy the CD -- and if you get a chance to see the band in person, run, don't walk.
