The Dream Show 2022: Rhiannon Giddens—I Shall Not Be Moved (with Francesco Turrisi)

So badly needed for today's times. Stay strong everyone! "I Dissent"! ⚖️✊

Rhiannon has a powerful voice that shakes your soul!

I have heard several versions of this wonderful song, but Rhiannon just brought tears with the deep soul and truth in her singing. What a gift she is to us.

I’m 71 and not much of a singer. But bellying out this song with fellow protestors lifted me through some very scary situations. Until recently there wasn’t much out there on the Mexican American civil rights movement but it there was a lot of violent, vile hatred out there. As a white person I did not experience anywhere near what the organizers in the fields and neighborhoods experienced, but I vividly remember the face of a woman, twisted with rage, as she tried to run me down with her car. I saved myself by jumping on the hood of a parked car. Up to that point the threats were mostly verbal or consulted of throwing heads of iceberg lettuce at us…might sound funny but a big man used it to break the ribs of a tiny nun protesting with us. At one civil rights protest police dragged a pregnant organizer on her belly before throwing her in the van. The whole time they taunted her about aborting her “spicy” baby. Some of the worst things happened outside the protests…stopping an organizer and nearly castrating him kicking him in his groin. Never made the news. Not once. Just scary articles designed to further inflame insecure white folks.

Rhiannon Giddens is an original, authentic on so many levels!

This is a classic worship song from the African-American church thus it's timeless spiritual appeal. And Rhiannon is a fruitful vine from the same blessed stock! Uplifting performance!

This is Rhiannon Giddens singing the music of her heritage. Sweet Jesus but this girl can sing. Francesco Turrai is wonderful on accordian.

I've just this evening discovered Ms. Giddens. I am blown away by her music and her voice. Wow. Thank you to YouTube for this bit of serendipity.

speechless simply speechless when you hear the voice of an angel. A voice that brings light to the darkness and nurtures the soul and warmth to the heart. I don't have the words.

TWO OUTSTANDING PERFORMERS!!!!

That was absolutely beautiful. YOU are one of the most important artist of our time. Please don't stop. God bless you.

Maybe the most important thing here is community. Huddle together folks. Nurture each other. Let it all spread from there. Peace y'all.

.... Wonderful pre talk from Rhiannon.....helps you to have faith and hope....at least that not all, and everyone, is lost.....and the song takes me right back to my youth and the budding of my musical passion...❤️....

Have loved her since I found the Carolina CD back in 2008. My angel bride didn't get a chance to hear her much but I know she would have LOVED HER! Anything with her is wonderful!

Just saw her at Stagecoach, what an incredible musician!

I need to see her live

She have a underful voice, I think of angels when I hear her. ❤️
