Freedom Highway (LP)

Bol Partner

Freedom Highway is het tweede solo album van de Grammy Award winnende zangeres Rhiannon Giddens. Op het album staan 9 compleet nieuwe tracks die ze schreef tijdens de tour van haar bijzonder goed ontvangen debuutalbum Tomorrow Is My Turn. Op Freedom Highway neemt Giddens afscheid van de manier hoe ze Tomorrow Is My Turn schreef, waar slechts 1 nieuw nummer op stond. Het resultaat is een album dat nog rauwer en persoonlijker is dan haar debuut. "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
