If you are critical of this music, you're either a grumpy old timer (who ain't got much time left anyway) or you're not really from Appalachia. My family has been in the region for over 200+ years, and this music makes me dance--just as much as the old time stuff.
Hateful, ugly people all over; need to take their city slicker selves and attitudes elsewhere, if they don't like this music.
Keep making and playing that sweet, beautiful music! Keep the traditions alive, by mixing up a little bit.
yep... lov my appalachia
Gage Myers thanks
I just recently discover this music and it SINGS TO MY SOUL...I unfortunately am what you refered to as city slicker...that has nothing to do with a true ear for great music which this surely is...i thank you all for affording me a treasure trove of great music
Your sound my beautiful ones truly inspires even me and i always smile and move to the sounds of your harmonies
I've had this stuck in my brain for the last couple of days.....and didn't mind a bit!
Good music is good music regardless of where it originated! Awesome song, much love and respect!
Ali Mason u will fit in like a smile in the sunshine
Why do you have to say "regardless of where is originated"?
The Banjo is an African instrument? Since when? it was created by Europeans in the 18th century. Oh sure...it bears some rudimentary similarities with primitive African string instruments made with bamboo...and a million their string instruments across space and time. So what?
And wtf does the origin of Banjos have to do with drummers in Appalachian music? Last I heard it never used drums. This group is as genuinely Appalachian as MCcDonalds.
And nice ad homeined against laylow4now btw.
I love the percussion of the claw hammer and drums. I loved this.
True! I took a Music of World Cultures class in college and I learned that Appalachian music has Scot/Irish melodies mixed with banjo and fiddle rhythmic influences from Africa... Music is dynamic and is influenced (especially American music), by many aspects. Our musical roots were not formed in a vacuum.
Music evolves or it stagnates, this group are making these old songs their own and sharing instead of just copying them like many others. They say they have an affinity with the Appalachian mountains and a love of the music, that's how I hear it anyway. You don't have to be born there to appreciate the music or be moved by the culture. If everyone painted a landscape in the same drab colours how boring the world would be. I like their music.
+David G I agree and for most of us this is the case. The point i was trying to make is that when a group such as this put a different perspective on an old favourite it's like adding cream to hot apple pie. I live in Australia and am influenced by music from the Appalachian mountains just as early settlers in those mountains were influenced by music from Europe but played that music in their own style. it's called progress and is the reason why we have different genres and styles in music.
Neil Lawday amen brother
(2)African instrument in the first place was because laylow4now made a negative remark concerning the drummer in this band; he implied it couldn't be Appalachian music because there's an African guy playing drums(!), and it felt as though he was personally attacking the musician for being black. Well, you can't knock an African taking part in Appalachian music, because African Americans MAJORLY influenced the development of that style of music. (I took a class on this stuff and wrote a......
Thank you so much for embracing and just flow with joy..play what comes to the heart..sway to anything that uplifts spreads light peace and joy..wherever you may go know you are loved
A roomful of gorgeous people making fun, careening music. If all you folks below missed that, maybe look again. How sad you all must be as you self righteously polish the angry little stones where your hearts should be.
It calls me home too, my dear. then again I don't leave the southern Appalachians much unless I'm going to the Outer Banks
Wow, some of those comments are way out there. It's sad that people are so insecure and close-minded that they can't even enjoy music, and genuine people (sisters BTW, not lesbians) who are dedicated to helping others and creating art. And it's funny GeorgeBonez, when I lived in "the south" I hung out with locals who grew their own and had a still in the back too. They were also stuck in poverty and exploited by big money interests. Rising Appalachia rocks. Love them. And I'm going to see them tonight in Northampton Ma !
You gals/guys are great! I love your music and hope some day you'll come to San Francisco and play for the Bay Area folk. Keep up the foot stomping music!
I know this tune!! So awesome!
Awesome! Good as corn pudding and a fried HoneyBun. Thanks, Rising Appalachia.
i love when the drummer smiles
Incredibly talented and their music makes me Smile ! I would love to see you ladies perform...eh ha! :)
Ignore (ignorant) the peanut gallery..
Vargr1105 OK, you don't believe that the banjo has its roots in Africa? Cause the International Bluegrass Music Association does: ibma.org/node/164
Come to visit us in Boulder!
I was just in boulder not too long ago
Thank you 😊I'm an Appalachian girl from the coal mines of Virginia not too far from Cumberland Gap and I think what y'all are doing is great 😀one of my favorite bands😉 I hope to see you in concert soon ❤❤❤❤
Hell I'd be dancing if I was there
Bob Thorton well dance in your room when you listen 👂 this
I 💃 dance with you yeah
Amazing music! To see your having so much fun while playing makes it even better :)
Just lovely. Remarkably groovy.
This is probably what heaven sounds like
I'm from Virginia, love this instrumental and hear the Celtic influence behind it all. Early settlers couldn't afford bagpipes and fiddling imitating the sounds developed. A talented group!
Love It!
The Cumberland Gap is the source of the original violation's of the Royal Proclamation of 1763 that clearly stated that no settler was to enter the Kentucky "Reservation" land's. Now, in 2013, the old decree has been violated again by Ottawa! (Resource grab from tribal turf)! Hence the birth of Idle No More!
I think y'all do a perty good job gettin across the message of the bluegrass within. I agree with you, :"It calls me home, it really does." Thank you my bluegrass sister, ... play on!!! :)
They are not playing bluegrass my friend. They are playing old time mtn music.
Coming from Kentucky. LOVED YA! Wonderful job. Appreciated the diversity of the musicians. Surprised someone didn't get up and dance. :-) Thanks MUCH for sharing!
IAM in love 😂
Love this song! Beautiful, talented, inspiring women! Love you guys
Absolutely fantastic. Love the powerful vibe haha such a uplifting song
Love your music, thankyou for being beautiful souls that you are. For all the bashing comments why dont you go visit jump off mountain, i heard its nice this time of year 😂
You really should do some research before you judge and criticize. You clearly do not understand what this group is about. They started out doing covers of Appalachian tunes, and eventually broadened their horizons. They tried to change the name of their group, temporarily becoming "R.I.S.E.", but a name-change didn't work out for them, so they remained "Rising Appalachia." They never claimed to be dedicated to Appalachian culture, strictly; they have a bigger picture than that. Educate yourself
ps. I don't think I made myself clear about why i referenced the banjo. The banjo is thought of strictly as an Appalachian/old-time/blue-grass instrument, and for some reason is thought to be only used by white people. I was just saying that the instrument which seems to define Appalachian music in fact has its origins in Africa and the African American slaves of the south which brought the instrument and sound to Appalachia. Make sense?
(1)The banjo as it currently is today is of course not EXACTLY what Africans brought to this country; however, the parent of the banjo is absolutely of African origin. It changed and evolved largely due to the resources available in this new land differing from those available in Africa. It was most definitely not created by Europeans. If anything, it was introduced to Europeans in the 19th century, but they did not create it. And the only reason I made a comment about the banjo being an......
I'd love to have supper with them at (Sue) Webb's Kitchen, especially on open mike night. Or we could climb beyond the Iron Furnace and harmonize together in the 'accoustic room' inside of Cujo's Cave. That's right, Cujo's Cave (pre-LMU era). Fiddles and claw-hammer banjos are most welcome atop the Pinnacle. Hope you know what I'm talking about. "Holler" at me and I won't be a'fussin'. I'll be fishin' right yonder. :)
What is wrong with you? Do your homework before you start criticizing. These girls have Appalachian roots whether you like it or not. They're not polluting Appalachian culture; they're spreading old-time music to new audiences, which is a noble cause. Secondly, concerning your "African" drummer comment, traditional Appalachian music would not be what it is without African American influence. The banjo is an African instrument. What darkness in your heart makes you so negative and judgmental?
(4)...Just because they are not doing Appalachian songs in the most traditional style, doesn't mean they aren't doing a great job at presenting a VERSION of appalachian music. BTW, i have no idea what "nice ad homeined against laylow4now" means. lol I don't know if you are sarcastically insulting me or actually paying me a compliment.
Who gives a rat's behind what they are? I don't care if they're serpentine aliens from some foreign planet, their love our mountain music and it shows in their performing. Clap them hands and dance with your Pap, and we'll all have fun in the Cumberland Gap.
Thats horrible. You assume they are lesbians? They said they are sisters. So what if their lesbian anyway? shouldn't you be proud that your culture is being immortalised and not dying out with the coming generations?
it's not so much the disagreement as the language used when disagreeing. you seem to have quite a bit of excessive pride yourself too.
they're sisters; but even if they were lesbians... who cares? why does that matter? what does that have to do with Appalachian music?
there are no facts, only interpretations...and your interpretations say more about you than they do of this band. why so upset?
Musicians have always been freaks. Glad to be one and keep up the great work RA. Come to Chattanooga sometime soon.
Great sound, looking forward to seeing this group at the Grey Eagle!!
Hey, the three part version! Cool. Learned it listening to Donald Zepp when you kids were on the MySpace! Great Job!!!
I’m Irish with family who came to Appalachia a few died in Cumberland gap fighting Indians
North of the Mason Dixion would be a GREAT place for you to live then.
First I’ve heard djembe in bluegrass and I absolutely love it
when you guys going to come to cumberland gap i dont think its to far of a walk
Shit this is good. Hello from Ireland
Hey
Found your music on RUclips. Never actually heard Appalachian music before!
I'm from Nova Scotia and I can really hear the Celtic roots in your music.
It's different, yet the same. Very nice.
Maybe some day I will see the southern Appalachians. The mountain range extends through eastern Canada and into Newfoundland and Labrador.
It's absolutely beautiful up there.
Keep up the good work.
Very nice.
chloe may I have 2nd please
Home sweet home. Jackson co for 27 yrs. Love this girls voice. Been going through there stuff the past few days. Just can't get enough.
Through and through,,,you are a band I feel blessed to experience your Art. Thank You.
I play the banjo, I love old time tunes, and I freaking love this version of Cumberland Gap.
man you got more issues than Time magazine
Waiting for you girls in Amsterdam!!! :)
(3)...pretty serious research paper; I know what I'm talking about.) And as for them being as genuinely appalachian as McDonalds, I don't think they are claiming to be purely Appalachian. They even tried to change the name of their band to encompass the scope of what they are about, but they were already too well known by this name. They do, however, have roots in Appalachia, growing up in the area and being instilled with a love for the music and culture......
Leah and Chloe are sisters - born in the Appalachia, thus their band name. Their parents taught them music and they travel around the WORLD gathering and sharing others songs (especially songs from females) so they won't be lost. Their home base is New Orleans at this time. One should do research on people before "assuming" and making nasty remarks about anyone. I have had the PLEASURE of seeing them perform and I will never forget it. They play with musicians from all OVER the world.
Way to give that dusty, old tune new life.
More like rising atlanta
What's the drummers name?
well that's not very nice.
definitely ignorant
:)
This girls grew up in Atlanta. I don't think recontextualizing folk culture is a bad thing, but what these guys came up with doesn't sound that interesting.
loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee it
Claw hammer gotta love it!
Tell me this isn’t cultural appropriation
Sorry but it is, two girls from Atlanta and the whitest guy ever on African conga drum so 2x the appropriation
Love y'all
❤
🥰🙂👆🏾
Can't help but wonder if you were ever at Bella Terra playing by the fire.... ya'all look so familiar.... Wether I discovered or rediscovered you I am so excited to have so amazing lyrics and music to listen too... Sometimes you just find the music that feels so at home. I listen with lil' kids running around doing chores... I need that pure goodness to saturate my tired body and help me to rise my vibration so I can keep creating ... Keep playing Love and light
Michelle
yes, people making fun, careening music... people coming together and sharing stories and passing down traditions (whether in traditional form on from a fresh perspective) is in essence what folk music of all varieties is really all about. these girls capture that beautifully.
Me teneis boba 🥰
...And would it really effect their musical abilities if they were? lol
Great stuff! Awfully hard to play that well and fake it, in my opinion!
Two weeks off with pay and tickets to see these talented gals tonight....does it get any better? :)
Epic talent!
Wow! This really blew me away. I saw them sing "Across The Blue Ridge Mountains", then saw them do some way funky stuff that I didn't like, but what they played in this video blew my socks off! That was smokin ladies!
:o)
Beautiful!
old LA Rufus be proud. uptick cajun back drop full blue grass applach.
Music is good heel tapping music. Hate they hide their accents.
LayLow and Bolnoy, (should be BlowBoy) You two should get an apartment. You can each share how oppressed your lives are. You can speak of the joy of hating. This group is enjoying life. I know that brings actual pain to both of your miserable lives, but no one cares. These girls grew up in Little 5 Point, minutes from the terminus of the AT. I can tell from their music that Appalachia is indeed part of their makeup. Different doesnt equate to bad or wrong except in your simple existence.
Wow!! These Guys Rock.. Just makes me want to get up and dance.... :)
These Girls are Awesome protecting and spreading awareness of their Appalachian roots!
They are not only sisters, they are angels and it is a privilege to hear their music :)
So much love for what you are giving back to the world girls :)
Good morning! Still listening:)
love these gals ! yee-ha, you go !!
I gotta listen AGAIN
WoW ! Nice!
well said!!
love it!!
I couldnt even watch the whole vid I was so disgusted!
Bunch of New York hipsters listened to NPR one day and decided they wanted to be coooooountreeee. Take away the pretty faces and this bunch ain't much.
