Freedom Highway

Rhiannon Giddens' Freedom Highway is a powerful and emotive album that delves into the complexities of African American history, from slave narratives to the Civil Rights movement and beyond.

With nine original songs written or co-written by Giddens and her band, along with traditional and civil rights-era tracks, this album is a departure from her previous work, Tomorrow Is My Turn.

Recorded in wooden rooms built prior to the Civil War and produced by Giddens and multi-instrumentalist Dirk Powell, Freedom Highway seeks to release the stories already in the walls, allowing the space to be a voice in itself.

This approach results in an emotional fearlessness and presence that is not always easy to achieve.
