Rhiannon Giddens & Justin Robinson - What Did The Blackbird Say To The Crow - LP

North Carolina Fiddle & Banjo Music

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. Giddens plays banjo and Robinson plays fiddle across eighteen of their favorite North Carolina tunes, many learned from their late mentor, the legendary Piedmont musician Joe Thompson. The duo recorded outdoors at Thompson's and Etta Baker's North Carolina homes, accompanied by the sounds of nature, including two broods of cicadas that had not emerged simultaneously since 1803.
