[chelseasleep]

* that was supposed to say not ONLY are the talented!

[daddylilt]

This is a refreshing group to watch

[saturne46]

Quelle pêche ! Quel entrain ! Super !

[Sturkel1292]

ooooo so this is what real music sounds like!

[cumshotfeminist]

Whoa! He's genuinely playing bass from a jug!

Badass!

Missing the horn from the original, though. The 'ol duck call doesn't do it for me.

Still pretty cool, though. They're clearly having a great time.

FUN STUFF!

I love this group- not are they amazingly talented, but it really takes you back- the way they dress and perform. You feel like you should be sitting next to them on a front porch along the bayou. this type of group is portrayed in animated films often but they really seem to have kept it going!

[JonathanDaddy]

@chelseasleep They actually ARE amazingly talented. You can't necessarily tell that from this video -- but their range of skills -- instrumentally and vocally -- is really impressive. Check them out live (or maybe see the range of things they do even from You Tube video). They also have great, great taste in music.

[Daigoro123]

This is soooo great

[imafanindeed]

she's fabulous on the kazoo!

[UNCLEMOMMY]

[ddanze]

FABULOUS! Wish you'd come play a dance up here in the DC area!

[RoseyinWonderland]

So much talent! Glad they found one another and are sharing all this with us.

[fork1964]

@RoseyinWonderland Amen to that!

[copperdodge]

[translate09]

There is hope for music!!!

[pannlife]

Wow... They are amazing!!!

[crescendopez]

[supersixish]

the guy on washboard is so good on this.

[bookofagiant]

soo coooool !!

[UncleJim46]

I just heard about this group on NPR's Fresh Air -- Wow, what a talented group they are.

[WeGotGuts]

@UncleJim46 same here!

[mongojerry72]

This has to become a theme song to some hit cartoon! My kids go nuts when they hear this song. Great Band.

[Fstpicker]

That's the first time I've heard someone play the Kazoo with real talent!! Wow!!

[uofmrebel]

Awesome! Glad to see a group like this bringing back a forgotten genre of American music. This song conjures up images of "Old Memphis"--W.C. Handy, cotton barges on the river, and street musicians on Beale Street. I'd like to see this group on the soundtrack of the next movie set in the South anytime from the Civil War on up to before WWII. If they haven't been given a Grammy for their work, they deserve one.

[scottstanton1]

very good jam

[murphmanin]

WOOOOWHOOOOOOO!!!!

[The14weed]

They are all amazing I really love how Dom Flemons nails the Vocals to the T of the original.

[distar10]

enoyed this very much--thanx for posting

[TennesseeShine]

This is a really great and talented group embracing rather than denying a common Southern Heritage. There's isn't anything that they don't do extremely wel!

[mrsweettater]

I do believe I just fell in love with the kazoo!

[boognish1975]

my feet! they're.. they're DANCING

[jlm61348]

Hot Diggedy WOW!

I heard you do this live at Jazz Fest last year...twice!! Shows what opera training can do!

[sujathafan]

Wonderful,facinating exercise on kazoo by a dedicated and talented player.

Rhiannon Giddens -- You simply amaze me with all your skills!! Keep it up.

Ram

[lgomez222]

Awesome!

[roflmao0000]

I think I died and went to heaven. This is awesome and funny. Jugs and Kazoo, maybe some washboard, spoons, and a bit of Didgideroo is just what we all need once in a while.

[drmlabs]

this is my current very favorite band. What cool music! They would be great folks to hang out with too. Thanks for posting!

[LucyStag]

I never knew the kazoo could be that cool.

[stanleypicker]

me neither......

[gatorwobble]

Have a fit on that kazoo... Brilliant, thanks for posting!
