Recorded largely live in the studio with producer and multi-instrumentalist Francesco Turrisi, the album draws a direct line from the antebellum era to the present day without letting either moment off the hook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"Know thy history. Let it horrify you; let it inspire you. Let it show you how the future can look, for nothing in this world has not come around before. These songs are based on slave narratives from the 1800s, African American experiences of the last century, and the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s and headlines from streets of Ferguson and Baltimore today. Voices demanding to be heard, to impart the hard-earned wisdom of a tangled, difficult, complicated history; we just try to open the door and let them through.\" —Rhiannon Giddens\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFreedom Highway, Grammy Award–winner and 2017 Grammy nominee Rhiannon Giddens' follow-up to her highly praised debut album Tomorrow Is My Turn, will be released by Nonesuch Records on February 24, 2017. The record includes nine original songs Giddens wrote or co-wrote while she and her band toured after Tomorrow Is My Turn's 2015 release, along with a traditional song and two civil rights-era songs, \"Birmingham Sunday\" and Staple Singers' well-known \"Freedom Highway,\" from which the album takes its name. Giddens and the band will tour the U.S. in the spring; details will be announced shortly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. At The Purchaser's Option (4:16)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. The Angels Laid Him Away (2:31)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Julie (4:28)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Birmingham Sunday (6:13)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Better Get It Right The First Time (3:23)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6. We Could Fly (4:53)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e7. Hey Bébé (3:19)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e8. Come Love Come (5:20)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e9. The Love We Almost Had (4:17)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e10. Baby Boy (4:29)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e11. Following The North Star (1:56)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e12. Freedom Highway (4:47)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 075597939613\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nonesuch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.24.17\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadtime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48744981528731,"sku":"474519","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/7172\/files\/packshot-rhiannon-giddens-freedom-highway-cd-relix.jpg?v=1781658703","url":"https:\/\/relix.shop\/products\/rhiannon-giddens-freedom-highway-cd","provider":"relix.shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
