  • Directors- Chloe and Leah Smith
    Cinematographer- Taylor Hellhake
    Camera 2- Andrew Anderson
    Band- Chloe and Leah Smith, David Brown, Biko Casini, Arouna Diarra, Duncan Wickel
    Special guests- Cortina Jenelle, Alina Q, Juan David de Narvaez, Victor Verde and his sons Temoc and Tolan, Truth I and his daughter Persei, Shea Olinger, Owen Cauley and Jonas Hall-Gariano, Clara Zander, Lucretia Vandyke, Dyhan Mount, Indy Srinath, and Lily Henley.
    Filmed in a cryptic cavern in Appalachia, Cuckoo is a traditional folk song that Leah and Chloe learned from their mother and her band The Rosin Sisters. This full band version highlights the connection between the many styles of music (blues, west african, irish) that blended together in Appalachia while bringing it to a more modern and rhythmic arena. Capturing the magic and mischief of some of the inspirational figures in Rising Appalachia's life, Cuckoo is an old song with new resonance.
    This song is dedicated to Whitlock Connah, Leah and Chloe's godfather, who was a fine harmonica player and folk sculptor as well as a deep soul man down in Georgia. He was one of the first people to encourage the sisters to sing and pursue music, and for that, they are forever inspired and uplifted by his spirit.
    ** special thanks to Casey Campfield and Royal Peasantry **

The creativity of the video presentation along with the quality of the filming, and most of all the talent of the musicians and the singers and all the actors in the video were astounding. I have played music for 55 years and I was blown away with the musicianship of the band. There’s such beauty in music when it’s not played beyond a comfortable sound level. This is beautiful and I am addicted!

    I like this color palette, and the 1920s style, real instruments and real musicians. I think musicians are very complicated people out of all the artistic fields. I'm fascinated by that archetype. I'm a painter and writer, and have no interest in creating music, at all. But, music is a big part of my life, and I have been listening to a handful of artists for the last two decades in order to understand their music, philosophy and message. Bob Dylan is of course on that list, as well as a few others, but Dylan is my recent exploration. I listen to the same CD for months, alternatively, switching and shuffling, music I collected for years. I don't do I tunes. I have a great sound system that goes all over my house with multiple stereo so that I get the full concert experience. no other form of entertainment at my house. only sound.

    This is a great song. Excellent harmonies, rhythm, and lyrics. I consider it to be the only song by Rising Appalachia that was done right.

    Beautiful songbirds, songs from moonshine runners and gin joint speakeasies to ease our quarantined spirits
