Newport Folk Festival 2011: Carolina Chocolate Drops In Concert
From: NPR Music
Series: Newport Folk Festival 2011
Length: 55:09
The following text is from the concert's story page on NPR Music:
Carolina Chocolate Drops' members met at the 2005 Black Banjo Gathering in Boone, N.C., and have spent the years since revitalizing and refreshing a glorious tradition of African-American string-band music. But this is no mere trio of nostalgia-miners: Members Dom Flemons, Rhiannon Giddens and Justin Robinson are as likely to work with a progressive orchestra, or to reinvent Blu Cantrell's R&B hit "Hit 'Em Up Style," as they are to draw on old-time jug-band favorites. Hear the Grammy-winning Carolina Chocolate Drops perform live at the 2011 Newport Folk Festival in Newport, R.I.
Set List:
- Georgia Buck
- Short Life of Trouble
- Didlbux
- Baby Ain't Sweet
