With her T-Bone Burnett-produced solo debut, Tomorrow Is My Turn, Rhiannon Giddens - already among the brightest stars of Americana as the leader of the Carolina Chocolate Drops - has hit the stride of her already impressive career. "She can summon the power of a field holler, Celtic quavers, girlish innocence, bluesy sensuality, gospel exaltation or the pain of slavery... For all her technical control, her voice is a perpetually soulful marvel," exclaims The New York Times. The GRAMMY-winning producer Joe Henry, who has worked with the Chocolate Drops, is a singer-songwriter of extraordinary depth, "coupling gloom with streaming daylight and gilding his saddest observations with joy and awe" (NPR).
