This woman is a unique American treasure. We are extremely fortunate that she has chosen to spend so much effort examining the roots and history of our music within the context of society and culture -- not just Black society and culture (although that has been overlooked for two centuries), but ALL American society and culture. If there were a Hall of Fame for beautiful people (not superficially, but souls), she would get in on the first ballot.
Beautiful
❤❤❤ soulful feeling blessed
Her music definitely moves you. Sometimes to intense. But always feels true.
I was in prison in West Virginia and heard Rhiannon on PBS. I heard this song and Julie. Fell in love. Never saw her but a voice from heaven. Used to play with the Carolina chocolate drops. She is exceptional
Highly an emphatic artist: she can put herself into the skin of those who had suffered. Even during the singing, she is immersed in that pain.
I'm a truck driver and love music,I listen to this song at least 20 times a day I love it so much.
That song felt like it was channelled. Her performance was so focused or tranced, it was chilling!
...because it was
We owe so much to our black citizens - music, dance, etc. Just came from a kidney scan - performed by a kind young black women - who made me feel so comfortable.
There is no America without African Americans
She is so much more than a musician.... A beautiful ambassador for women and all of humanity.... What a gift to the world you are my dear! Thank you!
Settle down. She is merely the latest incarnation of Jimi Hendrix or whatever you wanna call the source of all good music!
Yes. She's truly amazing.
She is so wonderful and I love her voice, love her words.
Wonderful mix of beauty and power in her singing ... mesmerizing. Great songwriter too.
Women don't need an ambassador. C'mon man.
She truly plays from her soul and you can hear it in her music.
Amen to that
Beat box over banjo and upright bass!! A musical dream going on here!
I'm looking at your comment, thinking this lady is smart! Now I see you are an artist! Can't wait to listen to you. Stay sate in our own time of cholera...
So totally agree. I'm blown away
Keep up the good work I want to hear more of your music you got an ideal old-time folk song voice. Seriously looking forward to hearing more of you.
There are no words of praise that would do this justice..
Amazed..
I took a class about African-American history through songs for a week at Augusta Heritage Center in Elkins WV. It was wonderful learning from her and singing with her. I remember being in the audience at this concert and this song touched my heart.
Que privilegio
She was featured in the most recent Smithsonian Magazine. I had NO idea that she is such a music historian of southern music, especially that of black banjo players. When I saw her picture I said "That's the girl from Nashville!" completely unaware of her real accomplishments in musicology. Even her banjo is an older style, based more on the African instrument it descended from
I just love this banjo. The sound is amazing. Soul touching.
@POLITIMICOST at least you heard of her. I am from Switzerland and "by accident" stumbled upon her & her amazing songs and voice 💕👍
Rhiannon truly does the instrument justice. www.minstrelbanjo.com/LBrownbasicindex.html
Wow. Thanks for sharing that! She is very methodical in her practice and performance then. What a well rounded and knowledgeable musician. I have so much more respect for her now.
Is she black I hadn’t noticed
I must say this is actually pretty powerful, I am proud to be an American I am proud to hang my American flag, I am proud to call this lady a fellow American I love what she's doing and I will continue to collect her music and if anybody tries to say else will stuff their head in the toilet. This is one of the best folk singers that I have ever heard in all my days and God has blessed her with a voice for doing so God bless America God bless this young folk song singer. Don't ever let anybody discourage you and don't let nothing come between you and music you are fantastic..
This powerful song distills a historic truth in a way volumes haven’t. Love the background of body sounds and that bass. It’s like a time travel.
The intensity of her singing is only equalled by the intensity of the lyrics... truly amazing and deeply moving.
I hope the soul of that young Black woman is able to see from her resting place, as a young, free, Black woman sings a song about her and her babe. What would she think? Wouldn't she be amazed?
What a beautiful thought, Jeannie. I hope you're right.
What has black to do with anything? She's multi ethnic
The beauty of what Jeannie said just went right over your head, didn’t it? That’s sad.
@@seeingthepattern you're sad
Whatever, kid.
My soul aches for what was done in the cause of greed.... my lord, the abuse... forgive me Lord
HE forgives you. Thank you🙂
Please please understand how the remnants, the legacy and the effects of slavery are not over. The cause of greed is alive and well, manifesting in more subtle, yet cruel ways.
It's not about guilt or blame or the "bones in my body". It's about equality... meritocracy. And why we aren't there yet. History has shows us it will take forward-thinking white people joining people of color to continue moving in that direction.
What an American jewel she is! I'm impressed on several levels and moved by her music, lyric, and style.
She can make tears come into you eyes then make you jump for joy ! Wonderful !
Some singers and songs burn a hole into your heart and soul. Need I say more !
Beautiful music from a Beautiful woman! Her music touchs the soul!
This lady is powerful... her career did not happen overnight.
I learned about her when she was in the group "Carolina Chocolate Drops". I was excited when she sang at the Boston Pops July Fourth Spectacular in 2019. Rhiannon Giddens can sing anything!
Thank you Ken Burns for introducing me to this national treasure.
Everything is perfect. The voice, the music, the story. Not often a song or artist can touch me to the depths of my soul. This has done it. Magnificent!!!!!
The reason for this song that she give brought me instantly to tears.
She’s the best thing that could’ve happened to bluegrass music. Her IBMA address was absolutely stunning. This genre has a stereotype (and many adherents to) of racism. The way she is actively educating through her music is wonderful.
Bluegrass began as a bi-racial music.
Majority of people I know don't understand the level of skill required to play truly great bluegrass
Shannon Yerton Check out Kaia Kater if you haven’t already. You’ll be glad you did.
Bluegrass, R&B, Soul, Rock and Country all have the same roots. It’s nothing short of wonderful to hear her put them back together!
@jon dough all the best music is woke
Rhiannon Giddens, you are SO deeply talented. I would like to echo previous commentators: The Soul of that enslaved woman, should she hear your song, I hope would be able to find a measure of peace. This song is wrenching and beautiful.
Sultry and soulful and smooth. Man!! Excellent ekphrastic writing and fine execution of an orginal song. Simple and haunting. What a voice! Wow!
Rhiannon, I see your eyes in trance back there with that woman and now with all of us who think they can own us.
I am SO THANKFUL that this wonderful woman is keeping this memory of a most sad injustice alive !!!!!!
This woman has the spirit of Judah. I've listened to her music and I know the soul and sound of Judah when I hear it and she definitley has it.
She is simply amazing!!!!!! When this virus thing goes away and we can somehow get back to normal I would love to see Rhiannon and her group play in concert. I’ve been watching a lot on RUclips.
I think I enjoy watching her channel the "character" of the song the most. She does it here. In this video, you can see her transport her own soul to that long-forgotten woman's soul and empathize with her experience. It is pretty amazing.
You improve every song you perform, with your beautiful voice, but it's your amazing spirit that shines through and makes every song you sing a soul touching experience that uplifts our hearts. Thank you!!!
OMG this is real soul music. What a heartfelt performance. Brilliant lyrics.
Well, I have Ken Burns' Country Music series to thank for introducing me to her! I'm so glad to have found her and her band. What beautiful art. God bless!
Hauntingly beautiful and sad. I stumbled onto this amazing artist on my side feed showing Irish folk music. She did "Wayfaring Stranger" beautifully and I also found her singing "La Vie en Rose". I am hooked!!
Me too, I want to discover similar music. I really love her. She is incredible. I brought 3 of her albums.
Heartbreaking. And it becomes more heartbreaking when you reflect on how this cruelty lives on today in new forms.
Her music is so amazing live. I saw her in Portland OR in 2017 when she co headlined a tour with Aimee Mann, and she blew me away.
You are light and pure power. Peace and love to you.
There are no words, that would do her justice.
Powerful, powerful lyrics presented so simply. Lyrical melody sung tenderly and simply.
My heart breaks.
That's a beautiful banjo and it matches her look and style perfectly. Great song. Heartfelt and compelling
Love the sound but a sod to play
There's a lot going on here. Music, history, love and pain. Very amazing and touching too. All the best from UK.
What the hell just happened. I have no words . Wow
Thank you beautiful people for sharing true emotions what can i say words not enough to thank you for sharing.
Love this tune.the woman who gave me music recommended it may the road go with you mary
Its a fretless Banjo, isn't it or what? This is so great... Im totally in love...
Anyone else immediately start crying when she started singing?
Profoundly moving, thank you for the story behind the song as well as for the song itself.
What a sad premise for a song. Giddens is a beautiful soul.
Amazing! That banjo sounds so interesting.
Epic! Thankyou! Best music i have heard in a looong time! Standing ovation& this is 🏅🏅🏅💜👂👀🙏🤩👏👏👏👏👏💐💐💐💐💐
Thank you, Augusta Heritage Center, for putting this online! And for bringing black and white traditional musicians together in oldtime, blues & swing, and vocal weeks.
I could feel that pain in my D.N.A., what a great song
She's a genius. I wish I owned clearplay I'd just have her on repeat for everyone's morning drive on all their stations..
Rhiannon you have such a lovely voice and are an excellent musician. Keep it going.
So much talent in this world that I'm just recently discovering.
Wow! I'm literally lost for words! Love her beautiful voice!
A difficult and weighing heavily on the heart piece and with such breathtaking tone. This is the first Rhiannon Giddens piece that I have listened to. Definitely will explore her musical art and storytelling. 🌻
Beautiful. Awesome. Powerful. I have listened to this song at least ten times, and I am weeping -- every time. I am so grateful that Rhiannon wrote this song. I am so proud of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. I am so ashamed of slavery -- not just the institution but the racism. Their incredible music is the the only thing those poor people had -- that and each other which is what the music was all about -- to help maintain their sanity. Seething anger and hatred sustained some. Others maintained themselves through drug addiction. There were others like Friedrich Douglas who were able to rise above it. Rhiannon understands the totality, and the anger and the hatred, and she is able to get beyond that and show us what it felt like. That is a miracle. Those who found Jesus eventually found peace, love and freedom. There were many different stories -- some sad and tragic, some uplifting and inspirational. But the truth is, things went on in the Old South that were as bad as anything the Hitler's SS did in WWII. It was a crime against humanity. You cannot overstate how evil it was, or the violence and damage it did to people. That damage is still with us in some people today. But, also, there are millions of normal, decent, black skinned Americans who are living normal lives too. We just need to resque every precious child we can resque. We can not help the poor girl that inspired this song, but we can help her great great grandchild. Anybody with me?
MacArthur Foundation Genius Grant? Yep - more "Everlasting Plantation" race pandering.
This may smart a bit: SLAVES AND DEMOCRATS
ruclips.net/video/blJKdNr5VSU/видео.html
@@pops1507 Yep, in the 1860s the Democrats were the right wing and Republicans were the left. That went on till a century later the Democrats under Johnson aligned with the civil rights movement, alienating the Deep South Dixiecrats and making them ripe for the plucking by Nixon's Southern Strategy. So what's left of the white-supremacist Dems are now Gops. And what does any of this have to do with the superb music of Rhiannon Giddens? I don't get why you even watched this video.
Colin Kelley- You are weeping? Really? Are you a woman? BTW- You never owned a slave so you have nothing to be ashamed of. A bit of a drama queen huh?
Sublime.
This lady is an amazing talent but when she plays the banjo it is transcendental.
This is so chilling and sad... Thank you for confronting me with with this, even if it is hard to hear that story. The beauty of the song brings the history to life so vividly.
Rhiannon: You have a real gift, my dear. A, real, gift.
She doesn't have a gift, she is a gift.
@@boneheded2819 I'm sorry I didn't consult with you before posting my comment.
Oh How much I love that music and Miss Giddens
Ireland is so lucky to have her.
I was at this show...one of the best!
I don't remember having heard a beatboxer functioning like this. It works and dammit, with RGs voice on top it's nice.
Beatboxing is the modern-day version of the old "hambone." It's really a venerable, ancient "folk" percussive/vocal technique adapted to our modern day. The spirits of the ancestors remain strong!
Wow. I get full-body goosebumps every time I listen to her. This song in particular was complimented nicely by the beat boxer (although if this were a studio version, I might have retracted/added different layers at different times to create more builds/breaks), but the human percussion was such a nice element here considering the subject matter... Well done!
Thats Justin Robinson. Hes been working with her since Carolina Chocolate Drops. Check out Carolina Chocolate Drops "Cornbread and butter beans" hes singing lead and playing fiddle. Hes pretty talented.
I don't wish to be pedantic, but it actually says (0:52) "Jabari Exum vocal percussion", not Justin Robinson.
+Irions Family - Jabari Exum has worked with the Carolina Chocolate Drops as well.
+Nicole - The 'Beat Boxing' is actually an African tradition. I always find it interesting how strong Genetic Memory is. Back in the late 1970s when my generation started experimenting with Hip Hop music young people just started doing this stuff; riffing with the mouth and imitating percussion. Mostly because folks couldn't afford a drum set. I started looking into it to see if Continental African music had anything like it. Lo and behold, I found the same kind of improvisation in West and South African music!
Glorious (and tragic) song. And that bass!
Holy dear God where did this girl come from with that voice!!!
This song rips my heart out.
Oh dearest Rhiannon Giddens, I fell in love with your talent. How I wish I can meet you even if it is gonna be brief in life. muah😘😍
I love her singing, everything about her.
Wow!! ...just wow!!
Beautiful unified creative triad raising our consciousness in what we continue to do to each other blindly to benefit no one!😢
I've got a babe but shall I keep him
'Twill come the day when I'll be weepin'
But how can I love him any less
This little babe upon my breast
You can take my body
You can take my bones
You can take my blood
But not my soul
You can take my body
You can take my bones
You can take my blood
But not my soul
I've got a body dark and strong
I was young but not for long
You took me to bed a little girl
Left me in a woman's world
You can take my body
You can take my bones
You can take my blood
But not my soul
You can take my body
You can take my bones
You can take my blood
But not my soul
Day by day I work the line
Every minute overtime
Fingers nimble, fingers quick
My fingers bleed to make you rich
You can take my body
You can take my bones
You can take my blood
But not my soul
You can take my body
You can take my bones
You can take my blood
But not my soul
You can take my body
You can take my bones
You can take my blood
But not my soul
Ive got a babe but shall i keep him
One of my favorite artists!
What an incredible talent this beautiful lady is! I have a wish! Maybe they both will read this and do it: I wish to see Rhiannon in a co-operation with the equally beautiful and talented Tracy Chapman! Wouldn't that be something?
Such a Beautiful American Woman!
Long over due.
Brilliant!
on this 4th of July this voice speaks to the nation as a whole
Damn! That's deep and I love it!!!
Saw her live in LA last week. JUST WOW!!! SO TALENTED!
The Woman. The Women. The nation of a people reside in the women. The Ancestors speak through the souls of women, for they shall not, nor will the be forgotten. No matter how much their voices were stiffled, muffled, killed...they will not be forgotten. Our Native Daughters, brings alive the stories, the voices of yesteryear, yesterday, and the ancestors that are created today. They more so tell the stories of African enslaved in the Americas women and bring to the table the story of the lynching of women (the truly forgotten). I ask all who can to listen to so with intention, , carefully and with an open heart to hear this story in song...you will feel that you are there with feet planted in the red dirt of the Mississippi and the smell of tabbaco fields...listen...listen......
Dearest Rhiannon, I do declare as I sat in deep reflection humbly looking towards the Spirit in the sky seeking inspiration through harmonically meaningful melody's... not merely of some new catchy hook, but from the very recesses of ones soul, such soul as to stir the lost and forgotten depths echoing throughout each corridor reaching beyond the very fabric of ones soul, with increasing light emanating from within as well as through those wisest of eye's was your celestial and sentient artistic expressions presented. Thank you !
Lee Common wow you’re really spiritual bro 😂
What a powerful message to this humanity! love it.
this beautiful woman is living magic 🎼🎻
Beautiful voice, beautiful soul, beautiful person. Drop dead gorgeous and insanely talented.
Agreed wholeheartedly on all five points.
Least we Forget...
The 1st thought came into my mind while listening to
this was my Grandmother's stories she use to share
with me ............. One of the most profound stories
was : The red stripes on the American flag represented
the blood that use to run down their faces after getting
beat by the police , ....... The stars was what they seen
when they got hit in their head with the sticks........
and the white part was the obvious : She said don't
ever give allegiance to a flag that ( HATE ) you , give
allegiance to " THE MOST HIGH GOD " who will deliver you
from the hand of your enemy and land of captivity ./
but the Lord laughs them to scorn
And they shall afterward become dishonored corpses
and an unceasing mockery among the dead,.
For he shall strike them down speechless
and prostrate and rock them to their foundations;
They shall be utterly laid waste
and shall be in grief and their memory shall perish.
This, is what music is about... Love her spirit.
A deep spiritual uplift and connection I can't explain as a follower of Messiah
Voice to literally die for
Just excellent you are a one of a kind !!!This song I feel in my soul !
WOW, please stay as pure as this sounds, love it! Thank you.
I was reading Garden & Gun when I saw she was named a Southern Hero. She is amazing.
I could watch her incredible hands forever.
You are an awesome person. I'm glad I found your music.
Absolutely fantastic she is one of a kind
I am weeping. This is absolutely amazing.
Thank you for posting this track! Appropriate for al this craziness.
She's great. I'm a big fan.
