Description
Its not often that the instrument you cant quite identify on a particular track turns out to be the five-string gourd banjo, but thats the rhythmic, eclectic world of Carolina Chocolate Drops. The award-winning string band folksters bring a quick step and a soulful effort to their third full-length, Leaving Eden. The album careens back and forth between slow and fast, wisely chasing anything depressing with another dose of that burning fiddle, a shot of whiskey after a good long cry. Like the eponymous candy, Leaving Eden will draw you back for more of that sweet warmth to melt on your tongue. The Drops are the perfect antidote to the end of winter.
