Music reviews of Dona Got a Ramblin Mind
Music Review: Folks, they sure can draw some bow
Rating: 5 Stars
I don't care how cold and bleak it is outside, you hear a song like black-eyed Daisy, shut your eyes and its a late summer morning with a hot sun overhead, corn-blue sky and green underneath, smell of mud and rain in the air, hot fields, lazy cows, in the distance a hazy patch of woods beckons to you with the promise of shade and breeze, and the only sound is a train chugging away somewhere beyond your sight.
This album is to be recommended for expats from the South suffering from homesickness.
As another reviewer mentioned, there are some issues with sound quality. But that's only if you use high-quality speakers. That said, the music more than makes up for any minor issues. Love the percussion, and the fiddling is top notch. The album offers a nice mix of instrumentals, and vocals drawn from traditional Southern styles, both white and black. Of course, 90 years ago it was harder to distinguish between the two, so in some ways this album is a blast from the past, before radio promoters began to artificially genre-fy the music. Let's hope the CCDs will come out with another album soon.
Amazon, why don't you offer the album "Colored aristocracy" done by this band with Sankofa strings? Folks, it is an album worth getting.
Description of Dona Got a Ramblin Mind
AS HEARD ON NPR!"Even though the music's being played right in front of you, you expect to hear crackles and hisses as if the sounds were being torn from a salvaged 78." - Independent Weekly
Terrific renditions of old-time classics from the Carolina Chocolate Drops as they reclaim their African American NC Piedmont string band musical traditions! This young group is the hottest thing to hit the old-time music community in decades, and have grabbed the attention of folks like Taj Mahal, Mike Seeger, Alice Gerrard, and John Sebastian.
