- I edited this video from a longer one documenting these two incredible bands getting together to collaborate. This is just them performing the song. The original is 9 minutes long and shows some real magic as they talk, jam, and play in the Brooklyn apartment they're recording in. Check it out if you have a sec: • Carolina Chocolate Dro...
The following is an excellent essay written about them getting together courtesy National Public Radio:
"The Luminescent Orchestrii and Carolina Chocolate Drops were each performing at a folk festival in Memphis when an impromptu jam session led to a formal collaboration. Originally written and performed by the Luminescent Orchestrii, "Knockin'" is the perfect song to capture the two groups' individual and combined gifts. In this new version, beatboxer Adam Matta provides a rich backbeat to accompany Benjy Fox Rosen's upright bass. Matta is adept at vocal turntablism as well as keeping a steady rhythm, and in live performances, Rhiannon Giddens and Matta scat as Matta emulates a trumpet perfectly. CCD member Dom Flemons even rattles bones for additional percussion.
For her part, Giddens gives the song the strongest vocal presence it's had. In the original, Rima Fand and Sarah Alden traded verses and harmonized to provide extra texture; here, they provide rich backup to Giddens. Given the song's playfully assertive message - "Show me the money and the milk and honey" - "Knockin'" is an excellent companion to "Hit 'Em Up Style," a pop hit the Carolina Chocolate Drops already gave a unique facelift.
Clearly, these sounds are familiar to the Luminescent Orchestrii, whose members wrote the song, but "Knockin'" offers a new way to hear the Carolina Chocolate Drops. The group has long bridged the sounds of American roots music for modern audiences, but between "Knockin'" and "Hit 'Em Up Style," it's exciting to hear Giddens sing with so much verve and conviction."
For most of my life (I'm 75) I would not have been able to enjoy this because I would not have known about it -- I love the internet!
The dude dancing in the doorway just stepped this video up from amazing to mind blowing. I love this song so much.
Dread hippy that's Dom Flemons rattling dem bones.
Saw the CCDs at Macey Center in Socorro, NM years ago. Fantastic show: people were dancing in the aisles.
Socorro? Seriously?
Wish I had known.....
I'm okay with not hearing about songs and artist when they 1st come out. As long as I hear them I'm ok.
I love this group, especially being from NC and seeing them play among greats as Emmylou Harris, The Avett Brothers, Rosanne Cash, Darius Rucker and being called the new sound: Americana.
The dude is the leader of the CCD's....a mind-blowing musician.
Man what a jam session.
I love your handle. I publishsum under "the Muse's Machine."
This is what makes America great.
Again and again again, even and always :-)

Really good but what's with the guy making chicken sounds?
They are called rhythm bones
EDNA KANSAS i like this
At 4:02 is the main singer wearing a different top?
YH she is, the song has been cut in half as the original song was 9 minutes long, so they cut half and made it 4/5 minutes long
@@nbm5675 , tootru, but don't think that's the scooby-tru. This is just vid of rehersal. Obv. clipped around. I think she spilled crunk-juice on herself early and grabbed whatever top was around. Just kept on keepin' on with the rock :-)
Is this on a CD anywhere?
👍
Awesome!
