Description

The new album by Rhiannon Giddens was recorded in collaboration with the Italian multi-instrumentalist Francesco Turrisi. It was produced by Joe Henry intensively over 5 days in Dublin, Ireland. The album shows us how various currents of music and sounds, coming from Africa and the Arab world, have influenced European and American music. It highlights the universality of music and the commonality of the human experience. It is a mix of original songs written by Giddens and a varied set of interpretations ranging from Ola Belle Reed's "I'm Gonna Write Me a Letter," to Oscar Brown Jr's "Brown Baby," to the traditional Italian piece "Pizzica di San Vito," to Gian-Carlo Menotti's "Black Swan." Rhiannon Giddens' latest solo albums "Tomorrow is My Turn" (produced by T Bone Burnett) and "Freedom Highway" have been critically acclaimed. Thanks to these, she has received several Grammy Award nominations. It should be noted that her work was already awarded the Grammy Award for "Best Folk Album" in 2010 with the group Carolina Chocolate Drops, of which she is one of the founders. Giddens and Turrisi also announced a large tour in 2019!
