YouTube du Jour: Carolina Chocolate Drops

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKTXJUYiAT4[/youtube] The African-American string band the Carolina Chocolate Drops were one of the highlights of the 2008 Jazz Fest. On this cover of Blu Cantrell’s “Hit ’em Up Style” from this year’s Genuine Negro Jig, they merge string band and contemporary R&B. They play the House of Blues’ Parish tonight.
