Georgia Buck !!!
This is absolutely fantastic! Thank you.
Great fiddle and singing and the banjo gal delivers a magic, foot-stomping performance on the 5 string.
This is an absolutely 5 star video by the CCD’s. Thanks for the post.
BTW what’s the name of this tune…. Same as the band ??
Blues always been around, one way or other.
opposite of wigger
I must say that I’m not very into country/ southern music, but this is worthy of more than 5 stars. Absolutely beautiful.
If you ever feel the need to see a truly great show then you must see the Carolina Chocolate Drops! They will without a doubt blow you away. I saw the at the Bijou in Knoxville a couple weeks ago and I am still smiling and stomping my feet.
AWESOME
Actually Bill Monroe, the Father of Bluegrass, was influenced by the Blues, an American musical genre that came about via gospel/spiritual songs, work field songs and holler songs of black Americans/ex-slaves post-American Civil War. So the Blues were around at least 30 years before Monroe was born.
Wonderful! Thank you!
they are GREAT !!!!!
This is old time music pre-dates the modern bluegrass by some 50+yrs and more but it’s still folk grassroots music. In other words is the daddy of the bluegrass….
Bluegrass predates the blues we know and black/white folks borrowed each others songs so there was so much cross fertilisation. The banjo is perfect result of an instrument that was introduced from african-americans
Fluff, after hearing the CCD talk about their own music, I realized what your saying is absolutley right….they themselves do not call it bluegrass…really just stringband music….a combination of genre’s.thanks for taking me to school on this….
Well i have to disagree . Maybe we need to remind ourselves the difference between bluegrass( been around since the 1940s) and old-time fiddle music (around for centuries)
They are great musicians nevertheless, I just wanted to get that across
Wow. Just left South Carolina’s Boone Hall Bluegrass Festival. Can’t say enough about these guys. They are such a rare group of musicians. Trying to give a description of them is impossible as there is nothing I’ve come across to give a comparison to. One word here folks…..TALENT. They KNOW what they are about. I love we have been gifted with them sharing our unique history of the universal language of music. Many thanks Carolina Cho1colate Drops. You have many new fans
How anyone can say that this band is not bluegrass or ‘historically inaccurate’ is beyond me…this is one of the most AUTHENTIC bluegrass/string bands I’ve ever heard and they kick ass!
Bluegrass has its roots in Ireland,Scotland, Wales, and England. No where else. To hear them tell, they invented God and sunshine.
I love this music too! I just don’t know why anyone would say that they aren’t historically accurate.
lol. the music is awesome, but (i have to admit) so is your comment.
Yes, who would have thought of putting a fiddle, a banjo, and a jug together?
Total anachronism.
You can beat a good fiddle and banjo and the old jug - you don’t need a bass fiddle when you have it. I love the old claw hammer style this young lady is using and her banjo playing is terrific. All three of these musicians are great and, as has been mentioned in posts on other videos of theirs, they make lots of music with few instruments. Thanks so much for posting. - Paula
please, your comment is the equivalent to the ruining of an erection
Can you explain WTF you’re talking about without the bombastic language?
