Late in 2013, Giddens contributed the standout a cappella track "We Rise" to the LP ''We Are Not For Sale: Songs of Protest'' by the NC Music Love Army - a collective of activist musicians from North Carolina founded by Jon Lindsay and Caitlin Cary.〔(NC Music Love Army Official Site )〕 Giddens' protest song joins contributions from many other Carolina musical luminaries on the Lindsay-produced compilation (11/26/13 via Redeye Distribution), which was created to support the NC NAACP and the Moral Monday movement.〔(Yahoo News Feature: NC Music Love Army )〕 In early 2014 Giddens recorded for ''Lost on the River: The New Basement Tapes'' alongside Elvis Costello, Marcus Mumford, Taylor Goldsmith and Jim James. The album was produced by T-Bone Burnett and is a compilation of partial songs written by Bob Dylan that were never released. In February 2015, Giddens released her debut solo album, ''Tomorrow is My Turn'', on Nonesuch Records. Also produced by Burnett, the album includes songs made famous by Patsy Cline, Odetta, Dolly Parton, and Nina Simone, among others.〔 In July 2015 she had a big stage at world music folk and dance festival at TFF Rudolstadt in Germany.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Rhiannon Giddens at Heinepark Stage 3 July 2015 )〕 Her performance was also broadcast live by the German national public radio Deutschlandfunk.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=TFF15 in Radio + TV )〕 Rhiannon appears on Jon Lindsay's single "(Ballad of Lennon Lacy )" (Redeye Distribution, August 21). The song tackles the mysterious hanging death of Lennon Lacy, a black teen from rural Bladenboro, NC. The case is currently under investigation by the FBI, and widely suspected to be a lynching.〔(Ballad of Lennon Lacy premiere via Charlotte Observer )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rhiannon Giddens」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
