Rhiannon Giddens has released a new song, her take on the Hank Cochran tune "She's Got You," made famous by Patsy Cline, from her forthcoming debut solo album, Tomorrow Is My Turn. "Patsy Cline is of course the ultimate country singer, and one of the ultimate singers, period," says Giddens. "Hubby Jenkins and I recast this in a sort of old-timey R&B vibe." The track, says Okayplayer, which premiered it, is "buoyed by a slow dragging, burnt sugar bass and horn melody and her spot-on vocal." Listen to the song here and download it now when you pre-order the album.
Rhiannon Giddens has released a new song, her take on the Hank Cochran tune "She's Got You," made famous by Patsy Cline, from her forthcoming debut solo album, Tomorrow Is My Turn. The track, which premiered on Okayplayer yesterday, is available as an instant download with pre-orders of the new album, which is due February 10 on Nonesuch Records, with the vinyl to follow on March 3. Listen to the song, as well as the three other instant-download tracks, "Black Is the Color," "Don't Let It Trouble Your Mind," and "Shake Sugaree," below, and pre-order the album on iTunes or in the Nonesuch Store, where CD and vinyl orders also include an exclusive, autographed print and a download of the complete album starting release day.
"Patsy Cline is of course the ultimate country singer, and one of the ultimate singers, period," says Giddens. "But the way she took care of her family and friends, and the way she was able to take control of her career and inspire respect in an industry run by men, are just as impressive to me." Of her own version of "She's Got You," she says: "[Carolina Chocolate Drops band mate] Hubby Jenkins and I recast this in a sort of old-timey R&B vibe."
"Giddens primes fans for the project with the dusty folk rock of "She’s Got You," says Okayplayer, "a track buoyed by a slow dragging, burnt sugar bass and horn melody and her spot-on vocal."
