Prof. Luigi, it will make more sense if you read this article about black string band music. www.google.com/amp/s/www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/05/20/rhiannon-giddens-and-what-folk-music-means/amp For myself, I can say I didn’t know anything about black musicians like Joe Thompson until I stumbled on the Carolina Chocolate Drops at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, and then a missing piece of the string band puzzle began falling into place for me.
@@d.l.loonabide9981 Ever been to an old time or bluegrass jam? It's like 90% white dudes and ladies. It aint bad to see black people singing it, it's really refreshing, honestly. But definitely unusual.
@@ProfesserLuigi not necessarily yeah maybe if you're going to some fest in Kentucky where everyone's obsessed with Bill Monroe and flat and Scruggs and they're strictly doing a bluegrass thing but as far as old timey music goes this is not that shocking
Outstanding
Badass
this makes me so happy
The unidentified singers look like Marvin and Turner Foddrell.
unfortunately not the foddrell brothers
So lovely - thank you !!!
RIP Joe : )

Hola 👋
From a girl that grew up thinking white guys created Bluegrass, thanks Joe! RIP.
Excellent voice, anyone know who that is on the guitar?
I believe that the two men to the right are the Foddrell Brothers.
what genre would this be
Old time music north carolina Piedmont region
Gonna be real, it's weird to see black people sing this. It makes a lot of sense, though.

Not weird at all.

@@ProfesserLuigi I'd say the Carolina chocolate drops open that aspect up to the mainstream but those with Southern heritage knows this is nothing new
