Nonesuch

With their Nonesuch debut, Genuine Negro Jig, which garnered a Best Traditional Folk Album Grammy, the Carolina Chocolate Drops proved that the old-time fiddle and banjo-based music they'd so scrupulously researched and passionately performed could be a living, breathing, contemporary sound. They didn't seek to merely revive songs from the past as much as freshly interpret them, highlighting the central role African-Americans played in shaping our nation's popular music from its beginnings more than a century ago. They dip into styles of Southern black music from the 1920s and '30s—string-band music, jug-band music, fife and drum, early jazz—and beam their curiosity outward. <br><br>Leaving Eden, CCD's second full-length Nonesuch disc, was produced by Nashville stalwart Buddy Miller, the go-to guy for artists ranging from Solomon Burke to Robert Plant to Emmylou Harris. On this 15-song collection, recorded live in the studio with all the players in a single room, the Carolina Chocolate Drops illustrate their own adaptability to grow and change. Following the amicable departure of founding member Justin Robinson, band mates Rhiannon Giddens and Dom Flemons recruited three exceptional new players for the recording and expanded their repertoire to incorporate more overt blues and jazz elements and straight-up folk balladry alongside brilliantly rendered string-band tunes. Robinson's replacement is Hubby Jenkins, a Brooklyn-bred guitarist, banjo player, and singer who had previously busked his way around the country.
