Song Exploder – Rhiannon Giddens

“You Louisiana Man”

Rhiannon Giddens has launched 5 solo albums since 2015. Earlier than that, she was a member of the Grammy-winning band, the Carolina Chocolate Drops. She is now additionally the creative director of the Silkroad Ensemble, the musical supergroup that Yo-Yo Ma founded.

Rhiannon Giddens is a kind of individuals the place I really feel like they’ve to start out inventing new awards, as a result of she’s already gained all of them. She’s received multiple Grammys, she gained the Pulitzer Prize for an opera she co-wrote referred to as Omar, she’s a MacArthur Genius, and the brand new Beyonce tune “Texas Hold ‘Em,” the one which options the banjo? That’s Rhiannon Giddens playing the banjo. (I suppose that’s not technically an award, however it looks like one to me.)

In 2023, Rhiannon launched an album referred to as You’re the One, and I talked to her in regards to the tune she wrote referred to as “You Louisiana Man,” which was nominated for a Grammy for Best American Roots Performance.
