140 gram vinyl in a single pocket sleeve, plus cd of the complete album. north carolina - based carolina chocolate drops follow up their critically lauded label debut - 2010's grammy award-winning 'genuine negro jig', which reached number 1 on the billboard bluegrass chart and number 2 on the billboard heatseekers and folk charts - with 'leaving eden', on nonesuch records. the group returns with a record of original compositions, covers, and traditional songs produced by buddy miller (emmylou harris, robert plant, patty griffin, solomon burke). carolina chocolate drops formed after founding members dom flemons, rhiannon giddens, and justin robinson met at a roots festival in 2005, and discovered a shared interest in traditional african-american string band music of the piedmont region. in 2011 multi-instrumentalist hubby jenkins joined flemons and giddens in the group upon robinson's departure. the members share singing duties and swap instruments throughout their sets. the band's sound is rooted in, and very reverent to, the traditional african-american string band sound of generations ago. but the attitude is anything but old-timey, as the band brought in hip-hop and soul elements, a no-holds-barred energy, and just a sense of playfulness to the songs.
