It's not punk but I'd defy anybody not to tap their feet to this. Caz just caught me dancing round the box room. It's ok she's had me down as nuts for over 20 years...
One of the interesting things about this music is that it is a thread in American musical history that almost disappeared, usurped by the blues. Carolina Chocolate Drops are learning from one of the last guys around playing this old African-American stringband music, a fiddler in his late 80s.
