I used to hate this kind of music growing up. But now I can really get into this it is great to I KNOW that some young black musicians are carrying on this rich legacy that few Blacks even acknowledge much less appreciate.

I also heard you on NPR yesterday in the car. Love your sound and the fact that you're keeping this music alive. Will be buying CD right away.

It is I Truly Understand That You Love Another. Saw them at Neighborhood Theatre and they were awesome!!

[James AspHolm]

I'm on day 3 of listening to this wonderful band that have brought to me so many memories of my day's gone past. I hope to hear more of this historical music as I get older now that I can appreciate it more.

[BanjoKT]

what is the name of this tune?

[sebastiansap2003]

American? It sounds like speeded up version of old English barn dance music, with Scottish and Irish influence.

[Jack Spencer]

This is REAL AMERICAN BLACK MUSIC. Its just sad black folks don't realize that.

[Paul Barbato]

I heard their music in Barnes and noble today, I immediately ran to the media desk and asked them "What band is playing on the speakers right now" They showed me the CD and now I can't get enough of the drops. Oh MAN they are awesome.

This band, like so many others, makes me proud of my native NC. We may not top the charts in pop, rock, or hip-hop right now, but we have plenty of great music to keep our spirits up, and I love that the Drops are keeping that tradition going!
