Rhiannon Giddens was the musical guest on CBS This Morning: Saturday, performing two songs from her recently released debut solo album, Tomorrow Is My Turn—"Black Is the Color" and "She's Got You"—as well as "Spanish Mary," from the New Basement Tapes album Lost on the River. You can watch all three performances here. "With a voice so powerful it could scorch the rafters, Rhiannon Giddens has the pipes of a genuine diva. But her attitude is humble and her personality is down to earth," writes the Chicago Tribune of a recent tour stop. "With equal helpings of confidence and respect, she nimbly saluted her idols while giving their iconic work a fresh spin."
Rhiannon Giddens was the musical guest on CBS This Morning: Saturday this past weekend. She performed two songs from her recently released debut solo album, Tomorrow Is My Turn—the traditional tune "Black Is the Color" and Hank Cochran's "She's Got You," made famous by Patsy Cline—as well as "Spanish Mary," a track from the New Basement Tapes album Lost on the River, for which she set newly found Bob Dylan lyrics to music. You can watch all three performances below.
Giddens is currently touring the United States with music from Tomorrow Is My Turn, joined by her bandmates from Carolina Chocolate Drops—multi-instrumentalist Hubby Jenkins, cellist Malcolm Parson, and multi-instrumentalist Rowan Corbett—along with Jamie Dick on drums and Jason Sypher on bass.
"With a voice so powerful it could scorch the rafters, Rhiannon Giddens has the pipes of a genuine diva. But her attitude is humble and her personality is down to earth," writes the Chicago Tribune's Chrissie Dickinson in a review of her concert there last week. "Her expansive range easily encompassed blues, gospel, jazz and chamber pop ... With equal helpings of confidence and respect, she nimbly saluted her idols while giving their iconic work a fresh spin." Read the complete concert review at chicagotribune.com.
