She's one of the few today still playing that wonderful claw-hammer banjo style. I love Cornbread and Collard Greens. Well, I like the song a lot, too! ;)

Duh - Cornbread and Butter beans. I think that was a Freudian Slip.

It is, isn't it? It's not often you come across such a song, I've found, nor do you find a talent like Rhiannon Giddens too often. Combine that with Bob Dylan's lyrical skill and you can't help but have a winner! I know I may sound like I'm going on about her, but I've heard her sing her own songs, traditional US roots and folk, Gaelic mouth music and traditional Celtic songs, play banjo and violin and now this wonderful piece - so far, I've loved everything she's done. She's a musician with heart, soul and integrity - and you can't get much better than that. TWITTER
