The Chocolate Drops' latest album, Leaving Eden, was released last year on Nonesuch Records following their Grammy Award-winning label debut Genuine Negro Jig in 2010. The new album, produced by Buddy Miller (Emmylou Harris, Solomon Burke, Robert Plant), includes traditional folk songs, modern covers, and original compositions. The Observer calls them "the most electrifying acoustic act around." The BBC says of the new album: "It's plain terrific."

To pick up a copy of Leaving Eden or Genuine Negro Jig, head to the Nonesuch Store, where orders include a download of the complete album at checkout.

    American Railroad, the new album from the Silkroad Ensemble with Rhiannon Giddens, is out now. It is the culmination of four years of research, collaboration, and music-making, having brought Silkroad artists all across the US to uncover and uplift stories of those who built the transcontinental railroad and connecting railways across North America. "The result is a tapestry of stories, traditions, and music that have shaped our multifaceted cultural identity, and that must be heard and recognized," Giddens says. Also out now are a performance video of the track "Mahk Jchi" and the first episode of the American Railroad podcast series. The US fall tour continues to November 23.
