Album Review: They're Calling Me Home by Rhiannon Giddens
Excellent, Based on 1 Critic
Based on rating 8/10
Recorded in lockdown in Ireland, They're Calling Me Home is an homage to traditional songs that hold a special place in the hearts of musicians Rhiannon Giddens and Francesco Turrisi. The duo's second album in two years features folk songs, lullabies, and spirituals, all of which have been influential to Giddens and Turrisi. Each track is an emotional glimpse of their musical DNA: reworked folk songs and lullabies, refreshed with the virtuosic pulse of two of the world's finest maestros.
