Sule has produced/performed dozens of recordings and albums. Here’s a sample:
Runaway Dream: Post-African Music
Wilson, with guest artists Mike Seeger, Dom Flemons, and Senbi Wilson, shares twenty-two tracks of Folk, Blues, Pop, and World–all done string band style!
Ancestral Whirlwind
This album encompasses Native invocation; African songs of slavery; US story and song of the Middle Passage and Ibo’s Landing; Cuban rhythms on Ibo ceramic drums; Gospel tunes; Sea Island body percussion; even a little acoustic hip-hop, and an Aboriginal benediction.
Colored Aristocracy (Sankofa Strings)
Before the Carolina Chocolate Drops was Sankofa Strings, a trio of multi-instrumentalists dedicated to expressing and preserving the gamut of early AfrAm music.
And more…

(companion to the book)
Sule Greg Wilson and an all-star cast of international musicians (including Nasr Abdey, Basori Bangoura, Taiwo DuVal, and Sweet Honey in the Rock’s Ysaye Maria Barnwell and Nitanju Bolade-Casel) capture the magic and power of traditional drumming with rhythms and textures from Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the United States.
National Jug Band Jubilee: Uncorking America’s Happiest Music
In 2007, the Carolina Chocolate Drops, featuring Sule Greg Wilson, returned to Louisville, KY to once again perform at the National Jug Band Jubilee, contributing three of the CD’s twenty-three cuts. SGW adds funk with washboard on John Henry, and tambourine on Don’t Get Trouble in Your Mind, and Starry Crown Blues.
