King BB: All time greats 1962-79 [2 CD]

The newest album from Rhiannon Giddens', You're the One is her third solo studio album and her first of all original songs. This collection of 12 songs written over the course of Giddens' career bursts with life-affirming energy, drawing from the folk music that she knows so deeply, as well as its pop descendants. Produced by Jack Splash (Solange, Alicia Keys, Valerie June), You're the One features some of Giddens' closest musical collaborators from the past decade, including multi-instrumentalists Francesco Turrisi and Dirk Powell, bassist Jason Sypher, and Congolese guitarist Niwel Tsumbu. The album features electric and upright bass, conga, Cajun and Piano accordions, guitars, a Western string section, and Miami horns, among other instruments, capturing the inclusive spirit that channels through all of her work. <br/><br/>"I hope that people just hear American music," Giddens says. "Blues, jazz, Cajun, country, gospel, and rock-it's all there. I like to be where it meets organically. They're fun songs, and I wanted them to have as much of a chance as they could to reach people who might dig them but don't know anything about what I do. If they're introduced to me through this record, they might go listen to other music I've made with a different set of ears."

"Hard again" gavs ursprungligen ut på Columbias underetikett Blue Sky, ägd av Johnny Winters dåtida manager, Steve Paul. Den 62-årige Muddy Waters själv var förstås redan en legend för sina fans sedan 1950- och 60-talet då han var stilbildare för den berömda Chicagobluesen. Plattan innehåller ett tidigare outgivet extraspår. "Hard again" hamnade på Mojos lista över världens 100 bästa album genom tiderna.
