Rhiannon Giddens is among the artists "poised to breakout this year" according to the Wall Street Journal Speakeasy's list of "2015's Next Big Things: 8 Music Acts to Watch." Giddens, a founding member of Carolina Chocolate Drops and of the recent New Basement Tapes project with Elvis Costello, Taylor Goldsmith, Jim James, and Marcus Mumford, makes her solo recording debut with the release of the T Bone Burnett–produced album Tomorrow Is My Turn next month on Nonesuch Records.

"Best known for her work in the Carolina Chocolate Drops, Rhiannon Giddens stole the show at an all-star 2013 concert, since released as a documentary that celebrated the folk music of the Coens Brothers’ Inside Llewyn Davis," writes the Wall Street Journal's Jim Fusilli. The live recording of that concert, Another Day, Another Time: Celebrating the Music of "Inside Llewyn Davis," is due out on Nonesuch next Tuesday.

Fusilli goes on to say that Giddens "was out front of some of the best tracks" on The New Basement Tapes album, Lost on the River, and looks forward to the forthcoming solo album, "in which she covers American icons like Patsy Cline, Libba Cotten, Odetta, and Dolly Parton." He concludes: "The thought of her classic takes on classic musicians has us salivating."
