All three trained in the Piedmont banjo and fiddle musical tradition under the tutelage of Joe Thompson, who was one of the last musicians of his era and his community to carry on the southern Black string band tradition. While old-time Southern string music is often associated with Caucasian musicians from Appalachia, Giddens pointed out in an NPR interview that \"it seems that two things get left out of the history books. One, that there was string band music in the Piedmont, period. [And that] Black folk was such a huge part of string tradition.\" Carolina Chocolate Drops sought to not only correct this misunderstanding but also to keep the centuries-old string music tradition alive and developing.\u003ca name=\"SS\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide One:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeace Behind the Bridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrouble in Your Mind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYour Baby Ain't Sweet Like Mine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHit 'Em up Style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCornbread and Butterbeans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSnowden's Jig (Genuine Negro Jig)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide Two:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy Don't You Do Right?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCindy Gal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKissin' and Cussin'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSandy Boys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReynadine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrampled Rose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide Three (Bonus Tracks):\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvalon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeorgie Buck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCity of Refuge (2025 Remaster)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWill Adams Breakdown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide Four (Bonus Tracks):\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJack O' Diamonds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBring It Home\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHere Rattler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLittle Rabbit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMemphis Shakedown (2025 Mix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"AMS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47395652370606,"sku":"075597894899","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/6118\/0334\/files\/image-url_thumbnail_1_bd0d56d3-881d-4407-8921-c55194023ff2.webp?v=1769035166","url":"https:\/\/morrowrecords.com\/products\/carolina-chocolate-drops-genuine-negro-jig-15th-anniversary-edition-2lp","provider":"Morrow Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
