No band in recent memory has carried the torch of traditional music more than the Carolina Chocolate Drops. Under master fiddler Joe Thompson’s tutelage the Carolina Chocolate Drops learned about old-time string band music straight from the source. The band’s rendition of Black Annie is an incredible driving tune that genuinely represents what this music should sounds like –  raw, gritty and FAST! Listening to this song it is obvious as to why the Carolina Chocolate Drops became so popular – so turn your stereo up and stomp your feet!
