Eden

Along the way, Laurelyn's song Anna Lee, which she has recut for How Many Moons, was picked up by the late great Levon Helm for his Dirt Farmer album, and then his live Ramble at the Ryman album after that.

We will also hear her song Leaving Eden and the story of how it became the title track of the Carolina Chocolate Drops' final album.

She is close to the Chocolate Drop's most famous alum, Rhiannon Giddens, and we'll talk about her too.

So there's a lot here.

And Bela Fleck is sitting there playing banjo and watching Amelia put rocks in a bucket and dump it out and put rocks in a bucket, you know? And so it just kept growing and growing, and we had...

That year, I think that was 94.

So Leaving Eden was done, but maybe not out yet.

The town they s- they wanted to build a brewery in was named Leakesville, and the, uh, the, the, the Champaign of bottled beers went to the town fathers of Leakesville and they said, "There's only one deal breaker.

That's if you don't change the name from Leakesville." And so it became Eden, North Carolina, and they got their new brewery and their tax base and their hundreds of, uh, good jobs at good wages, et cetera, et cetera.

Time now for the poll question.
