Makes me weep and wish all strength needed for our sisters and brothers whalloped by Hurrincane Helene, esp those who lost all things, their homes and loved ones
Thank you so much Rhiannon I really really enjoyed watching you Playing and singing so beautifully and so fast, that must have taken so doing??? Fantastic as always you make my heart ❤ smile, Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤
My wife Ann and I coordinated the green room for Appel Farm and these guys were great. Rhiannon and her husband came in with their young daughter who was tried and clingy for her mom. Ann had some crayons, sidewalk caulk and trinket games. What a hit Rhiannon could relax and get ready for an absolutely fabulous set. Dom he was a little harder to corral. Nicest guy in the world insisted we call bones and I had to insist he got in the golf cart so I could take him to the stage.
Just remember, there was a time where fiddlers weren't near as rare as they are now. There were plenty like her, long back. Most of the greats, like Chubby Wise, Paul Warren, Curly Ray Cline, Gordon Terry, Arthur Smith, and Jim Shumate, are gone. Fortunately, Giddens and Bobby Hicks are still with us.
I fell in love with Loretta Lynn 40 years ago and now I've fallen in love all over again with Giddens. Born too late for Loretta and too soon for Rhiannon - damn!
She has such heart which comes through her absolutely gorgeous voice. Add her fabulous playing of any stringed insturment...RHIANNON GIDDENS IS the definition of AWESOME!!
She majored in opera in college, and has an amazing classical voice, as well as doing incredible old-time stuff. She does a stunning version, in perfectly-pronounced French of Edith Piaf's "La Vie en Rose." Search for it here on RUclips; you'll be blown away.
This young lady is also a banjo player in a guitar player I've been listening to her for the last 3 days and lots of different videos she's doing really well and she plays a nice banjo with No frets on it from Africa
Hadn't heard of her until this evening. She was one of the performers on Boston Pops July 4th concert. I had the TV on, heard her from another room singing She's Got You. Her voice stopped me in my tracks. She followed that with Pretty Little Girl...barefoot. Spent the past hour researching her. Amazingly talented woman, pure Americana, a true original, beautiful inside and out.
I was introduced to this artist by her 4th of July performance with the Boston Pops. She played the fiddle, sang and danced the song, "Pretty Little Girl...", amongst others, and I was charmed by her talent, charisma and beauty. After researching her and learning about how much her racial mix informs her music I added her records to my Pandora collection :)
My brother in law introduced me to her and I am hooked! I am so happy he knew I would love her!!! AMAZING God Given Talent and Beautiful at the same time. Thanks Jerry for taking the time! I am obsessed!
Hey Lady, haven't heard this song for some months now. You're fantastic but you've kind of drifted from us into something above some of us the last few years. Come back and see us from time to time. We still love you.
Wow.. this is REALLY good.. I'm very impressed. Brings back memories of the music I learned to play from the 'old timers' sitting around in a circle in an old farmhouse, playing 'til 2 am. Nicely done.
My goodness, magnificent ,and I am going to learn how to play the fiddle that way..... I have left handed violin and viola. What a God give gift to us all. Embrace this genius this wonderful lady, and thanks for the upload. My hero. Good day.
Forget all the glammed-up rock and pop stars. This woman is a real gem.
Speaking of pretty girls... In addition to her amazing talent, I think Rhiannon is positively beautiful!
She is a staggering talent
Reading the comments, and nobody mentioned Hubby Jenkins. He's a absolute badass.
Makes me weep and wish all strength needed for our sisters and brothers whalloped by Hurrincane Helene, esp those who lost all things, their homes and loved ones
Love it. This is Americana
She sings with her whole body, mind, heart and spirit. Love her.
To call this woman talented would be a waste of words. She's connected to something the rest of us can only sniff from a distance.
Thank you so much Rhiannon I really really enjoyed watching you Playing and singing so beautifully and so fast, that must have taken so doing??? Fantastic as always you make my heart ❤ smile, Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤
WOW!
It's impossible to not fall crazy in love with her !!!
This girl can do anything
To say she's extraordinary would be an understatement.

She's my current favorite musical artist. No competition.

Mine too, she is special. No glitz, just plain ol talent and presence.
Ap
Good for you!
I never stop being amazed at her talents
She's also a classically trained opera singer
As was one of her mentors, Odetta.
Wish I could like it a thousand times!
I fell in love with Loretta Lynn 40 years ago and now I've fallen in love all over again with Giddens. Born too late for Loretta and too soon for Rhiannon - damn!
What a multi-talented human being.
So proud of this little North Carolina girl what a talent
Country like she’s supposed to be played...
She has such heart which comes through her absolutely gorgeous voice. Add her fabulous playing of any stringed insturment...RHIANNON GIDDENS IS the definition of AWESOME!!
Amen
The only thing I would add to your “awesome”, is beyond!
I seen her on PBS, It was complete Shock and awe, I have never heard a voice so powerful as hers, She is absolutely stunning.
SO LOVELY!
She's mighty good, and that feller on that banjo ain't no slouch either! Great pickin'
I think this might be my 50th or 60th time watching this - still knocks me out. Extraordinary in every respect.
Rhiannon and Rachel Price are my 2 favorite female singers period!
Fantastic

Great talent. First time I've seen her wear shoes.
Rhiannon - love her, fine artist, lovely person from what I've heard and seen,
Not many old-time fiddlers left. Glad to see someone relatively young is keeping it alive.
1930 Granada
Fiddle is alive and well. It’s just not mainstream.
Trying to explain to my friends, the words I was looking for, Fiddling is a live,just ain't Mainstream. Thank you
Until tonight I had never heard of this lady, how remarkable.
