    rhiannon giddens is opera trained but she wanted to go back and sing songs from long a go. i've heard her live once and the quality and strength of her voice simply overwhelmed me...cant put it any other way. she is a wonderful talent

  • @rayj1011
    @rayj1011 Год назад +12

    Rhiannon is a grammy winning artist, author, and actress. She is quite versed in various musical styles and is very knowledgeable about early folk music. She is quite the musician and performer.

  • @debrabeck9630

    Rhiannon Giddens is magnificent! She’s incredibly versatile, and she can’t really be put in one box or another. Others have mentioned the Carolina Chocolate Drops, and her work with Our Native Daughters is also stellar. I especially love their song Black Myself which features the powerful voice of Amythyst Kiah. (Amythyst also made a single of it, which is stunning. You might like it a lot, Asia. Very deep and strong.)

  • @rennyshelton

    This amazing woman can sing anything. If you want a real treat, check out her version of "St. James Infirmary Blues," with Tom Jones.

  • @kimberlytyda3575
    @kimberlytyda3575 Год назад +11

    So many to recommend from her!! I honestly wouldn't have started with this particular song, unless you are really into folk music. Others I prefer: Build a House (featuring Yo-Yo Ma), Come Love Come, Better Get it Right the First Time. Anything on her Freedom Highway album is fabulous

  • @Gashouse69
    @Gashouse69 Год назад +13

    You should check her out with the Carolina Chocolate Drops. Their song Leaving Eden would be a good song to start with!

  • @jamescole6636
    @jamescole6636 Год назад +11

    Rhiannon is a musical scholar x that wasn't yodeling. Listen to her Patsy Cline covers x your opinion will come around. Try Wayfaring Stranger. She's one of the great voices x it would be a shame to list her as a yodeler.

  • @tjhorne82
    @tjhorne82 Год назад +8

    Y'all should also check her out from when she was with Carolina Chocolate Drops. "Cornbread and Butterbeans" is a great song by them. I was fortunate to see them live. Great show

    @franscott3122 Год назад +3

    All i can add to what others have said is when i started playing the mandolin i thought i could go to my grave happy if i could gain her approval with my playing.
    The rest have said it all.
    But I'll reiterate, She is one of the greats of our time of any genre.
    That is a Resonator mandolin. Don't see many of them.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you🎶🎶🎶🖤🎶🎶🎶. This is just a small taste of her , she can do just about everything. She plays guitar and fiddle too The wooden things are a form of “spoons”. I Believe this song was written in the 40s by Cousin Emmy

    I think she might be one of the best modern singers that most people don't know about. I've been randomly checking for reactions to her for a couple years now, and you two are the only popular reaction channel that has reacted to her. I first sought her out after playing the Red Dead Redemption 2 video game. She did a few of the tracks in that game and her voice just astounded me every time.

  • @williamfisher8239
    @williamfisher8239 Год назад +3

    This version of Ruby is really along the lines of today's amazing Blue Grass. Blue Grass is an amazing art form filled with this type of amazing musicianship. I do t think you can really label Rhiannon as she's all over the place in her influences. Many people were surprised years ago when David Lee Roth participated in. Blue Grass recording of Van Halen Hits. Ioved the recording as the musicianship was stellar paying tribute to the music if Ban Halen but many disliked it as purebred Rock fans. To me. It's always interesting to hear other musicians interpret and pay tribute to other artists as we are all influenced by various artists in music especially musicians. You should check out that Van Halen Blue Grass recording.

    I play Birmingham Sunday every September 15th…. Song is about the Baptist Church bombing in Birmingham Alabama in 1963…. Rhiannon’s version is haunting… she does not do just folksie stuff…. There is also a video of her doing Wayfaring Stranger in a Irish Church… her playing banjo and accompanied by an accordion…. Stunning

    The "instrument" the man is playing is the BONES! As in... actual bones lol. The oldest known instrument to man... and they INCREDIBLY difficult to play (hence looking kinda goofy while doing it).

    This is Piedmont style blues, using. folk instrumentation. The banjo is an African instrument and this contributed to American Country Music. The bones, the mandolin...This style contributed to Bill Monroe's Bluegrass .

    Rhiannon has been made artistic director of YoYo Ma's Silkroad Ensemble you should should check out the 2 of them on Build a House also her rendition of Wayfaring Stranger is 2nd to none. The precession instrument you see is referred to as bones

    Many people think the banjo is a “white hillbilly” bluegrass instrument, they don’t realize it actually is a black instrument, it came here from Africa with slaves. She is an incredibly talented lady, good stuff!

    The odd rhythm instrument he’s playing is bones. Two sets of rib bones clacked together to make to make noise. A very old traditional percussion instrument.

    I really approve of what Rhiannon Giddens does, but ... her singing doesn't move me, particularly; she's still too close to her formal training for my taste ... think I'm kinda with Asia here ....
