This is amazing! I live in the east of Asia, but it's like I wake up, have some breakfast and walk down the street to somewhere in America, enjoy the music that I never heard before. I don't know why but my eyes become misty when I seeing incredible people doing incredible things. Tiny Desk Concert really brings me a lot of joy and inspiration. Thank you NPR Music!
Incredible! Beautiful melding of traditional black folk and choir and new vibe instruments and rap. Jake, you are pure genius. These songs rise. They are beautiful. It’s a reminder to all of us all to remember and honor the creativity of the musicians whose efforts were nearly lost to time. The songs also show listeners how impactful they still feel when you crafted them into a modern blend. The lyrics are fantastic and the rap is thought provoking. What you created worked beautifully. The band is tight. I can’t believe my luck stumbling across this TDC. I love music and fresh takes and bold creativity are hard to come by. The industry churns out redundant, commercial music. NPR’s TDC, please keep lifting up true artists. Wow. I’m going to listen to this again and just enjoy the interaction between Jake and his bandmates.… please create more historical weavings and banjo jam. ❤
Hello! Upright bassist from the video here! Jake has actually toured with Rhiannon many moons ago 😆 but they should definitely do more things together 👀
I love this music, and the fact that it is historical black folk music that is a hybrid that has added rap; whaaaaat, absolutely phenomenal!! Thank you NPR never would have heard this artist without tiny desk
This was other-level. So refreshing and so different. Seeing you all bop together at the same time was so precious. I haven't heard lyrics that deep in years.
This is so incredibly fantastic! Can't love this enough. Loved the drums, guitar, banjo uke, the fiddle, stand up bass, banjo and those harmonies plus the rap. Jake, such a wonderful combination of talents and soul. Just WOW!
He’s both. Yes, anthropologist studies culture, peoples, etc. but an ARCHEOLOGIST digs and excavates artifacts and that’s how I’m using the word. Jake does that artistically and literally.
Just recently found Jake through a new episode of a SOPBS program caled UAWA, now I cant wait to listen to his stuff every day-such a soothing vibe is perfect fer a frog like me
This is my favourite song of all time. I like how people are chilling and truly vibing the song together. I like to sing along with the repetitive part when listening to this song. Great work!
Jake Blount (and a few of his band members?) is going to be featured in three sets on the Cayamo Cruise next month (Feb. 10-17) and I can't wait to see him (and maybe meet him)! I heard that his newest album was produced by this incredible female violinist named Judy who I discovered playing in a favorite band of mine known as The Horse Flies when they performed at The Telluride Bluegrass Fest more than 23 years ago. We were so impressed with the band that we drove up to Boulder, CO to see them on New Year's Day in 2000. I can hear the syncopated sounds of The Horse Flies in his music!
Some folk did interesting creative things during lockdown... I adapted a famous Australian verse-novel called The Sentimental Bloke (got rid of the racism and misogyny and updated the lost slang).
Why not check his website to find out a little more about the song? At any rate the description of harmony as joyous is your own, so it's a bit of an Aunt Sally isn't it? Is the harmony in a classically composed 'Crucifixus' joyous?

That’s my twin brother crushing it on bass 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Your brother is a fantastic musician. You have every right to be proud
Solid❤
You are right crushing it
Bro's got some skill!
I’ve never heard a bass player blend their tone so well with the drums. What a boss!
This is amazing!

Its awesome to see young crew treating heritage music with love and respect, while making it their own and accessible to future generations.

NPR delivers another fantastic concert. Thank you
Oh wow, if this is how 2023 will be sounding, I want to sit in that library LIVE!!!!
He and Rhiannon Giddens should collaborate or at least tour together. That would be amazing.
Hello! Upright bassist from the video here! Jake has actually toured with Rhiannon many moons ago 😆 but they should definitely do more things together 👀
Best way to start a Friday! Feeling these vibes in my soul
Im not use to hear this genera , but I couldn’t stop listening since the first note….

It’s 05:26 and I’m on my toilet smokin a blunt. Thank you Jake 🎉💪🏾😤🫡🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is incredible! Such loving recreations of heritage songs
This is so incredibly fantastic! Can't love this enough. Loved the drums, guitar, banjo uke, the fiddle, stand up bass, banjo and those harmonies plus the rap. Jake, such a wonderful combination of talents and soul. Just WOW!
So so so inventive....love the guitar player's spare playing on certain songs. I keep relistening to this.
That guitar kid is dope.
This is literally just the music I'm craving at the moment. As always thank you for this great new exploration.
Wow, loved this performance, truly moving and creatively fresh. Regards from Wellington,New Zealand 🇳🇿💕
Yay!! I’m so glad Jake is on tiny desk! A modern marvel! ❤
Jake is an archeologist as well as fabulous musician/arranger…finding these stories to reimagine then elevate was hard work, brilliant and a gift.
He’s both. Yes, anthropologist studies culture, peoples, etc. but an ARCHEOLOGIST digs and excavates artifacts and that’s how I’m using the word. Jake does that artistically and literally.
black folk music from the future sounds like my jam
Love you folks!!!!
Great playing and singing with beautiful emotion and song delivery 🎶👏👍💗
Happy Friday!!!
Yasssss,this is a whole Friday mood!
Jake's arrangements and all the performances are remarkable, and it's so nice to see Kaia back at the Tiny Desk.

what I've been waiting for
This was GREAT!!
Amazing! I love it.🥰
They're singing in joyous harmony about a man being immolated.
Why not check his website to find out a little more about the song? At any rate the description of harmony as joyous is your own, so it's a bit of an Aunt Sally isn't it? Is the harmony in a classically composed 'Crucifixus' joyous?
The haunting sound of City Called Heaven!
Became a fan, incredible!
Fantastic!
Wonderful
Just wow!
Great guitar player!
bravo!
I love this so much im a song writer i wanna create like this
