Their 2010 album, Genuine Negro Jig, won the Grammy Award for Best Traditional Folk Album at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards, and was number 9 in fRoots magazine's top 10 albums of 2010.
The band came together to play the rich tradition of fiddle and banjo music in Carolina's Piedmont. Rhiannon Giddens and Justin Robinson both hail from Durham, North Carolina while Dom Flemons is native to Arizona. Although they have diverse musical backgrounds, they draw their musical heritage from the foothills of North and South Carolina. They have been under the tutelage of Joe Thompson, said to be the last black traditional string band player, of Mebane, NC, and they strive to carry on the long standing traditional music of the black and white communities. Joe's musical heritage runs as deeply and fluidly as the many rivers and streams that traverse their landscape. They are proud to carry on the tradition of black musicians like Odell and Nate Thompson, Dink Roberts, John Snipes, Libba Cotten, Emp White, and countless others who have passed beyond memory and recognition.

I recall playing a show a couple of decades back and having a lady chew out our guitar player for a murder ballad, saying that it condones spousal abuse.
Studying murder ballads, I've found that:
-If it is a man killing a woman, the song is usually first person and the guy is a scumbag, often named Willie, who has little or no reason for his act and ends spending his life in prison or hanging from a white oak tree. (Little Sadie, Banks Of The Ohio, Tom Dooley)
-If it's a woman killing a man, it's usually third person and, though she's sometimes hanged or put in prison, she's usually a sympathetic person, since he "done her wrong". (Frankie And Albert/Johnnie, Miss Otis Regrets, Monongahela Sal)
-If it's a guy killing another guy, it's third person and he's unsympathetic. "At twelve o'clock they killed him; we were glad to see him die." (Jesse James, Stack O'Lee)
-There are fewer songs about women killing women, but some, like The Cruel Mother are about women murdering their children.
A singer is playing a part. If I sing Little Sadie, it doesn't mean that I condone murder or spousal abuse any more than an actor who plays a bad guy in a movie or TV show does.

Doc Watsons baritone voice. I´ll never forget it. Reast in Peace, Doc. You were blind, but now you see the eternal light.

Doc Watson was America's Greatest practitioner of American Folk Music. His voice was deep and calm, always giving one a sense that he is on your side, and understands life the way only a man who has experienced great tragedy can know it and express it. Yet it didn't defeat him, it strengthened him and gave him another level of the incredible depth he possessed in reaching our hearts. His music has an ethereal quality that few if any can match, and we mourn our loss. Rest in Peace, Doc

He has such a feel for the banjo and guitar. I have rarely heard such feeling in such fast picking. A national treasure.
Nate Herman
Not just his voice, but his wonderful banjo playing!

This song is really special to me because my dad used to sing it to me when I was little. I love it so much, and I think you did a great job!
Maddie
@charlieboy1201 Thanks!
Kimber Irby
Doc is one of my all-time favorite guitar pickers! Thanks
Elijah Aluminio
Beautiful music. There's a certain joyous yet somber feel to this. Doc Watson and Merle's music will be remembered.
Lefty Pick
Just imagine having a dad playing like that. Bless you both!
Adam Jacob Rogers
so fortunate to have seen him live circa 2008. A true national treasure
