That's what happens when people try rewriting history rather than embracing it, warts, farts, and all. Yes, there was adversity, yes, blacks were in many cases vastly mistreated, but look at it from another pov: they went from shackled to slavery to now some of the most popular, successful, and charismatic people in the country, if not the world. Despite the overwhelming odds, the ones who decided they would choose their own fates rose above those challenges and now have the fruits of their labor to reward them. It's all about how one decides to see a situation as to how good or bad it really is.

CCD came out of movement with festivals and all to dig some of those roots up. I believe Rhiannon attributes this song to someone she met although I see the group is given songwriting credits for it. also, it's one of those tunes different people contribute verses to it perhaps while sitting around a campfire (Try it!) She does a lot of research into all kinds of music and also an advocate of a lot of Americana being "our" music. (white and black) Love her, sad that CCD broke up, got to see her at DelFest 2019 in her latest group. One of those songs I'd like to remember all the words so I can sing them maybe while maybe taking a walk. Cornbread and butterbeans, and you across the table... ;^)

This is real country music! The country genre has pretty much erased its southern Black American roots, but every country music performer or fan should recognize their debt to the musical gifts of African American artists who lived and died long before their contributions could be documented. Love this wonderful song!

If you say so... Counterpoint: the country genre has been completely severed from all it's roots for decades. What makes this music is the fusion of British and African musical heritages, with the African banjo driving percussion behind the Celtic fiddle's voice.

I think that American roots music is making a great big comeback now. Here in St. Louis it is really coming back strong. I am going to see Pokey LaFarge in concert tomorrow night. He and Dom Flemons have been doing some stuff together....I just love it. Music is the way the world will find peace.....in my opinion anyway.

+sharon walker white people don't have a problem accepting that blacks influenced our music. The problem lies in blacks not wanting to accept that whites influenced black music. Blues and bluegrass are both influenced by Irish folk and African music. When whites and blacks worked together on farms, sharecroppers, miners, railroad workers etc. they also relaxed together after work exchanging musical ideas and styles. Didn't matter what color you were. If you're a musician you understand this.

I'm a Jazz/Rock guitarist who dabbles in Banjo and Mandolin (my poor wife). I've always said that the Banjo originated in Africa and Bluegrass mainly derives from Celtic Fiddle tunes (jigs & reels) and African Banjo and blue notes. Seeing this group become popular really makes me happy. I would totally work with a multi-ethnic group of musicians to make something cool. I love bluegrass, but I love Delta blues and Jazz as well.

The most well-known banjo players indeed know that the banjo originated in Africa. That doesn't put shade on anyway, it's just a matter of history. I also have played music from Mali to Hispanic colleagues who say the rhythms are from Mexico, lol. Silly Wabbit! When Africans either travelled or were kidnapped to come to other countries, they tried to keep the traditional words, instruments and songs alive inside. We ALL should be grateful for that!
