I have heard several versions of this wonderful song, but Rhiannon just brought tears with the deep soul and truth in her singing. What a gift she is to us.
This is a classic worship song from the African-American church thus it's timeless spiritual appeal. And Rhiannon is a fruitful vine from the same blessed stock! Uplifting performance!
speechless simply speechless when you hear the voice of an angel. A voice that brings light to the darkness and nurtures the soul and warmth to the heart. I don't have the words.
Have loved her since I found the Carolina CD back in 2008. My angel bride didn't get a chance to hear her much but I know she would have LOVED HER! Anything with her is wonderful!
.... Wonderful pre talk from Rhiannon.....helps you to have faith and hope....at least that not all, and everyone, is lost.....and the song takes me right back to my youth and the budding of my musical passion...❤️....
Thank you so much Rhiannon I really really enjoyed listening and watching you create this beautiful and wonderful music 🎶 and you both played together so beautifully too.
Every time that I hear Rhiannon Giddens I AM moved! I chanced upon her and The Carolina Chocolate Drops about a year/year and a half ago. I was gobsmacked! I live in Durban, South Africa, and I tell everybody I know about her - and The Carolina Chocolate Drops. I have yet to meet someone in this city who has heard of her - apart from those whom I have converted.
Thank you for explaining the historical context of this song. It brought back memories of my family and friends picketing for civil rights in the 1960's and 70's. Your interpretation was moving.
Preach, woman, preach! You get it. And your music is wonderful. I had the good fortune to be at Fiddle Tunes the year you and the Drops were there with Joe Thompson. What a privilege it was to sit with y'all.
This song is originally credited to Mississippi John Hurt. To refer to people as Black or White is dialectic based nonsense. There are factually neither. Our Father never created a Black nor a White person. We have a whole host of people with external appearance, however all are within the same spectrum of color, from light pink to dark brown with everything in between. It was Jesus Christ who stated this current Hegelian dialectic based division would occur at the end of mankind's days. In Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21 you will find written ... and nation shall rise against nation... In the original texts (written in Greek) that word nation is Ethnos, which is where the English word Ethnic is founded. In the 1970s we had buried the hatchet of racial divide in America. It was radical Hegelian subversives who dug it up and wielded in over the past couple of decades to separate the people into dialectic oppositional forces. The end product being the antithesis hatred and eventual destruction of what the Hegelian's identify as "The White" It should be noted that war in dialectic antithesis, is the same methodology deployed by the Reich against the people of Judah in the 1930s and 40s. I wouldn't suggest espousing such evil means.
Rhiannon Gibbons is a fabulous musician

Maybe the most important thing here is community.
Huddle together folks.
Nurture each other.
Let it all spread from there.
Peace y'all.
Yes!! Her words remind me of the wordsmith/poet/philosopher known as Wendell Berry
speechless simply speechless when you hear the voice of an angel. A voice that brings light to the darkness and nurtures the soul and warmth to the heart. I don't have the words.
I've just this evening discovered Ms. Giddens. I am blown away by her music and her voice. Wow. Thank you to TH-cam for this bit of serendipity.
Keep looking. You will be blown away. What a living legend!
That was absolutely beautiful. YOU are one of the most important artist of our time. Please don't stop. God bless you.
So badly needed for today's times. Stay strong everyone! "I Dissent"! ⚖️✊

A brilliant performance, and a statement of the true meaning and purpose of music.

Riannon infuses her music with spirituality to a degree that few other musicians attempt or succeed. We are all blessed by it.
Mississippi John Hurt does a more gospel rendition i like both ,the song is an echo of psalms verse 3
I hear echoes of Odetta.
