Rhiannon Giddens

There Is No Other (with Francesco Turrisi)

Oh shoot, I guess I like folk now. Something about Giddens' voice is strangely hypnotic and provocative and the sounds/instrumentation (initially traditional, with a few abstract moments in the middle) really bring this album to another level than a standard singer-songwriter album...

Again, Giddens doesn't reinvent the wheel, but the wheel is good.
She pushes her beautiful voice at cost of some instrumental work, that the only difference with the previous album.

Undeniable vocals!

Top Tracks:
Wayfairing Stranger
Pizzica di San Vito
Brown Baby

This is the Goddess of whatever the hell you call this spellbinding music as Giddens evoks so much emotional depth with the assistance from Francesco Turrisi's music craftsmanship...
