Its label debut was released on February 16, 2010, while its vinyl version, which included the album on 140-gram vinyl and CD, was released on July 13.〔(Genuine Negro Jig - Nonesuch Records )〕 This is the first album the band has recorded for Nonesuch Records.〔(Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival - Rolling Stone )〕 It was highly successful, reaching the top ten on the Billboard Folk chart and the top of the Bluegrass chart.〔(''Genuine Negro Jig'' on the Billboard Bluegrass chart )〕〔(BlackGrooves )〕 It was also the last CCD recording to include collaborator and Sankofa Strings co-founder, Sule Greg Wilson. Like most of the Carolina Chocolate Drops' work, the album, a mixture of traditional folk songs, early 20th "Race" music, and recent pieces, is part of the Chocolate Drops' effort to celebrate the string band music of the Piedmont region of North and South Carolina, and the influence of African-Americans on this music. On NPR, band member Rhiannon Giddens pointed out that "it seems that two things get left out of the history books. One, that there was string band music in the Piedmont, period. (And that) black folk was such a huge part of string tradition.” Although the music the Chocolate Drops play is quite eclectic, the band members claim that early 20th-century African American string bands also drew from a wide range of genres in their musical repertoire. In describing the music, Giddens discusses how she was inspired but not bound by the genres in which she works—"Tradition is a guide, not a jailer. We play in an older tradition but we are modern musicians."〔(Blogcritics music review )〕 ''Genuine Negro Jig'' was well received by critics. ''Blogcritics'' writes that "our ears are all the better for it" and is "hoping that this record will not only put the Carolina Chocolate Drops on the map, but will also draw new listeners in to the genres of old country and blues." ''Engine 145'' describes ''Genuine Negro Jig'' as "an album of feistily complex, yet endearingly soulful songs that have ages of history behind them and a bright future as well."〔 ''Paste'' magazine calls the Chocolate Drops "the genuine article" whose "enthusiasm for the tradition is obvious."〔 ''The Guardian'' writes that the album is "well worth checking out."〔 The album won a 2010 Grammy in the best traditional folk album category, and was number 9 in fRoots magazine's top 10 albums of the year.〔(The Silver Poll )〕〔(About Carolina Chocolate Drops )〕 ==Track listing== #Peace Behind the Bridge (Etta Baker) — 2:34 #Trouble in Your Mind (Traditional) — 2:55 #Your Baby Ain't Sweet Like Mine (Charlie Jackson / Dom Flemons) — 3:00 #Hit 'Em Up Style (Dallas Austin) — 3:56 #Cornbread and Butterbeans (Traditional) — 3:10 #Snowden's Jig (Genuine Negro Jig) (Traditional) — 3:53 #Why Don't You Do Right?
