    Great video. Started playing clawhammer/old time a year ago. Love it so much. I had no idea R Giddens was part of this. I've always been in awe of her. This old Appalachian LOVES Texas Hol Em. People who hate it are the same people who think whites invented country.

    Great video. Thank you for putting this together, and for the links below. I learned of RG through the tv show Nashville ! I’ve followed her since and recently read a very good article about black country music in Zelle magazine.
