Description: Rhiannon Giddens reunites with her former Carolina Chocolate Drops bandmate Justin Robinson on What Did the Blackbird Say to the Crow, an album of North Carolina fiddle and banjo music.Produced by Giddens and Joseph "joebass" DeJarnette, the album features Giddens on banjo and Robinson on fiddle, with the duo playing eighteen of their favorite North Carolina tunes: a mix of instrumentals and tunes with words. Many were learned from their late mentor, the legendary North Carolina Piedmont musician Joe Thompson; one is from another musical hero, the late Etta Baker, from whom they also learned by listening to recordings of her playing. Giddens and Robinson recorded outdoors at Thompson’s and Baker’s North Carolina homes, as well as the former plantation Mill Prong House. They were accompanied by the sounds of nature, including two different broods of cicadas, which had not emerged simultaneously since 1803, creating a true once-in-a-lifetime soundscape TRACKS Full Length Vinyl 1 Side A Side B 01 Rain Crow 02 Brown’s Dream 03 Hook and Line 04 Pumpkin Pie 05 Duck's Eyeball 06 Ryestraw 07 Little Brown Jug 08 Going to Raleigh 09 Country Waltz 01 Molly Put the Kettle On 02 Fly Around My Pretty Little Miss 03 John Henry 04 Love Somebody 05 Ebenezer 06 Old Joe Clark 07 Old Molly Hare 08 Marching Jaybird 09 Walkin' in the Parlor
