Nonesuch will release an expanded 15th anniversary edition of Genuine Negro Jig, the landmark Grammy-winning label debut album from the innovative and influential black string band Carolina Chocolate Drops (Dom Flemons, Rhiannon Giddens and Justin Robinson).
The reissue includes a second disc of studio outtakes from the original recording sessions, most of which have never previously been released.
‘The Carolina Chocolate Drops [revisit], with a joyful vengeance, black string-band and jug-band music of the Twenties and Thirties – the dirt-floor dance electricity of the Mississippi Sheiks and Cannon’s Jug Stompers.’ – Rolling Stone ‘Old stringband music with both stylistic authenticity and modern sensibility.’ – Mojo
