Rhiannon Giddens – Tomorrow Is My Turn (CD)
Product Details
Rhiannon Giddens spent years as a founding member of the Carolina Chocolate Drops, helping resurrect the Black string band tradition and bring it to audiences who'd never imagined that lineage existed. Produced by T Bone Burnett, this solo debut pulls from gospel, country, jazz, and blues not as genre exercise but as genuine reclamation, tracing the full breadth of American music through the lens of a classically trained vocalist who also happens to be a formidable banjo and fiddle player.
Tomorrow Is My Turn follows Giddens’ work with Elvis Costello, Taylor Goldsmith, Jim James, and Marcus Mumford on Lost On The River: The New Basement Tapes, an album also produced by Burnett that was released in November 2014. Her contribution was hailed by Rolling Stone magazine as the “showstopper…evoking antebellum blues with a magnificent voice that interrogates the myths stirred up at Big Pink.” The New York Times agreed, saying “On lead vocals she’s the album’s revelation, singing melodies that hark back to Celtic modes with a decisive presence and a haunting grace.”
