The Carolina Chocolate Drops are leaders in the revival of the old-time black string band music of the Piedmont region of the Carolinas, proudly carrying on the tradition of such musicians as Joe, Odell and Nate Thompson, Dink Roberts, John Snipes, Libba Cotten, and Emp White. The group's members honed their skills under the tutelage of octogenarian fiddler Joe Thompson, one of the last black traditional string band players alive today. Rhiannon Giddens and Justin Robinson both hail from the green hills of the North Carolina Piedmont, while Dom Flemons is native to Arizona. They have performed at festivals across the country, including the Philadelphia Folk Festival, globalFEST, the National Folk Festival, and the National Jug Band Jubilee, and in 2007 recorded Dona Got a Ramblin' Mind.

Duane Allman was one of the defining musicians of our era, rated second only to Jimi Hendrix in Rolling Stone's list of rock's 100 greatest guitarists. A founding member, with his brother Gregg, of the Allman Brothers Band, Duane was also active as a session musician, and as a member of the all-star Derek and the Dominos. This seven CD set, produced by Duane's daughter Galadrielle Allman and esteemed reissue producer Bill Levenson, shows the full breadth and depth of Duane's work, from early recordings (with Gregg) in bands such as The Escorts, Allman Joys and Hour Glass; to his studio work with Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, Boz Scaggs, Delaney & Bonnie, Ronnie Hawkins and many others; to a live jam session with the Grateful Dead. The set includes several unreleased performances, many classic Allman Brothers songs, and a collector's cache of rare singles and long out-of-print album tracks. Also included are a 72 page book with essays by Scott Schindler and Galadrielle Allman, many rare photographs, a replica of Duane's guitar pick, and a Skydog sticker.

Thanks for checking out my SoundCloud - Acoustic Guitars, and iPad and Me.  Enjoy the music.     The guitar has been a friend, a frustration, and a fascination ever since I was a young boy.   I grew up on listening to Johnny Cash and George Jones thanks to my western music loving mom and dad,  but with a splash of the Beach Boys, Rolling Stones and Dylan thanks to my older brother.  My guitar heros were Chet Atkins - "how does he DO that" I kept wondering in the days before youtube - Jerry Reed, Roy Clark, and the great Nokie Edwards.  Its all in there somewhere, and it pops out in my music today.  Thanks to my teachers and mentors for passing along the passion.  Enjoy the music.     Ward
