Rhiannon Giddens performance at the “Another Day, Another Time” Concert landed her rave reviews, with The New York Times’ Jon Pareles saying:
“The concert’s real head turner was Rhiannon Giddens from the Carolina Chocolate Drops. She turned to the folk revival repertory of Odetta for the enigmatic “Water Boy,” singing it with the fervor of a spiritual, the yips of a field holler and the sultry insinuation of the blues. And she followed it with a pair of songs in Gaelic, making them peal and dance. These weren’t her local folklore; they were learned, and the performances were splendidly polished. In true folk revival spirit, the songs flourished and lived on.”
