Rhiannon Giddens + Joe Henry

Rhiannon Giddens of the Carolina Chocolate Drops, an excellent young roots-music trio from North Carolina whose members trained under traditional-fiddle legend Joe Thompson, supports her solo debut, Tomorrow Is My Turn. As you'll hear here, Giddens's mighty voice gives her retro-styled folk and blues fare a palpable bite and urgency. Also on board is brooding roots-noir songsmith and busy music-biz veteran Joe Henry.
