Changing tide - river rise, the water's high / Leave it all behind, Let it flow by / The flood cant wash away these roots, they grow for you / Fear won't blind me from the truth I can't see through / Rising wave - levy breaks, submerged again / Too deep to forsake, what we began / My heart it sinks reflecting on your muddy banks / Overwhelmed accepting how much work it takes / The river will flow release these waters to the sea / Time will tell and wash that river over me / Changing tide river rise, the waters high / Leave it all behind, let it flow by / My heart it sinks reflecting on your muddy banks / Overwhelmed accepting how much work it takes / The river will flow, release these waters to the sea / Time will tell and wash your river over me (Leyla McCalla)

3rd October 2013 at Cecil Sharp House (Kennedy Hall), London NW1.
Country: United States. Style: Traditional American Folk & Traditional Haitian & Cajun/Creole.
Lineup: Rhiannon Giddens (v/banjo/fiddle/g/kazoo/triangle), Leyla McCalla (v/cello/g/tenor banjo/triangle).
Rhiannon Giddens & Leyla McCalla are members of the Carolina Chocolate Drops (one a founder, the other a recent arrival). Giddens is from Greensboro, North Carolina, and Leyla McCalla was raised in New Jersey by Haitian parents (and now lives in New Orleans). The Carolina Chocolate Drops were formed in 2005 influenced by Black String Band music and in particular Joe Thompson (who I was lucky enough to see perform at Merlefest in 2006). I haven’t seen the Chocolate Drops since their lineup changes. When I did in 2008 and 2010, they were already branching out into otherstyles like Jug Band Music and the Blues. Judging by this duo, McCalla has brough Haitian music, Cajun and Creole (e.g. songs by Canray Fontenot and Bebe Carriere) to the mix, whilst Giddens continues to explore varied traditions (e.g. Scots Gaelic puirt à beul).

11th February 2022 at the Royal Festival Hall, London SE1.
Country: Britain - Scotland & Ireland & United States. Style: Traditional Scottish & Irish & American (including Old Time) Folk & Americana & Traditional Haitian Music
Lineup: Jerry Douglas (dobro/MD), Paul Brady (v/g/mandolin/p), Sarah Jarosz (v/octave mandolin), Leyla McCalla (v/cello), Siobhan Miller (v), Dirk Powell (v/banjo/g/accordion), John McCusker (fiddle), Michael McGoldrick (flute/whistle/uilleann pipes), Phil Cunningham (piano accordion), Donald Shaw (p/keyboard/piano accordion), John Doyle (g/bouzouki/v), Daniel Kimbro (b/bass g), James Mackintosh (d).
Transatlantic Sessions was back after a year off. The evening followed the established format - a series of guest singers interspersed with tunes from the house band. Of the guests this was Leyla McCalla and Siobhan Miller's first appearance at Transatlantic Sessions, Sarah Jarosz's second, Paul Brady's third and Dirk Powel's sixth. Two of the regular band members were missing - Aly Bain and Russ Barenberg (the former perhaps only for this leg of the tour as he was present ar the Glasgow opening). This was the twelveth time I have attended a Transatlantic Sessions concert, and I have taken photos at nine of them, see: www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/tags/transatlanticsessi....
In this photo: One of the features of Transatlantic Sessions is the guests (plus John Doyle) providing backup vocals for each other. (left to right) John Doyle, Leyla McCalla, Siobhan Miller, Sarah Jarosz.
