Carolina Chocolate Drops hit Daytrotter Studio

Durham string band the Carolina Chocolate Drops hit the Daytrotter Studios recently and the five-song session just made it's way online.

The band played a mix of tunes, including "Po, Black Sheep" from Dom Flemons 2009 solo album American Songster,  "Sourwood Mountain" from the Drops album Dona Got a Ramblin' Mind, a smooth version of "Why Don't You Do It Right?" from Genuine Negro Jig and a few unreleased songs, "Skillet Good and Greasy" and "Julianne Johnson/Arkansas Traveler."
