A friend of mine heard me sing a song I made up about collard greens then heard these cats on NPR's Fresh Air and told me I had to listen to them. The Carolina Chocolate Drops play music in the olde time string band style that was popular in the 1920's and 1930's. This song from YouTube is called "Cornbread and Butterbeans."
Somebody said that the line, "eatin' beans and makin' love as long as I am able" was not quite a romantic line, but I said that sometimes when you're broke all you got is some dry beans and each other and I think that is pretty romantic.
They play many instruments including some killer kazoo solos, but also do some modern stuff with beatboxing. I dig 'em and think y'all may too.
