On Genuine Negro Jig, the virtuosic, multi-instrumental trio of Carolina Chocolate Drops reclaims and revives a near-forgotten brand of banjo-driven string-band music from North Carolina’s Piedmont region, making it fresh and vital, and doing so with "a contagious, abundant joy," says the Boston Globe. The BBC calls it "magnificent." You can hear the album here.
