Born two years ago of the reunion in North Carolina of three young African-American players, the Carolina Chocolate Drops are rapidly growing into some-what of a phenomenon on the American blues circuit these days. Armed with 5-string banjos, fiddles, guitars, jugs, kazoos, spoons and various other percussive “instruments,” the CCD revisit the jug-band and Black string-band music of the ‘20s and ‘30s with the zest of the most energetic hip-hoppers and the acumen of old-time music pioneers. Although they remain faithful to the tradition, they have an atypical way of articulating their own artistic feelings. They’ve just cut “Leaving Eden”, produced by the legendary Buddy Miller.
