In 2010, The Carolina Chocolate Drops stunned the music world, taking home the Traditional Folk Album Grammy for their debut album, Genuine Negro Jig. Founded in 2005 in Raleigh, North Carolina, the old-time string band members included Rhiannon Giddens, Dom Flemons and Justin Robinson, who were all inspired by the work of black fiddler Joe Thompson. As the documentary charts the band’s sudden rise, it also looks at the influence of their mentor, Thompson, and the African origins of the banjo. Inspiring and informative, Don’t Get Trouble In Your Mind reflects on the transformative power of music and how one band catapulted to the spotlight by paying tribute to a distinct sound that connected the past with the present and also continues to influence popular American music of today.
