2012 - The group returns with a record of original compositions, covers, and traditional songs produced by Buddy Miller (Emmylou Harris, Robert Plant, Patty Griffin, Solomon Burke). With Leaving Eden the Carolina Chocolate Drops’ founding members Dom Flemons and Rhiannon Giddens expand their lineup to include multi-instrumentalist Hubby Jenkins; during their live sets the members share singing duties and swap instruments regularly. (Cellist Leyla McCalla also joins the band on the record). Selten gingen Tradition und Moderne eine schöner klingende und harmonischere Verbindung ein, als bei dem dritten Album der Carolina Chocolate Drops. Ein Extralob gebührt Produzent Buddy Miller.
