The record includes nine original songs Giddens wrote or co-wrote while she and her band toured after \u003cem\u003eTomorrow Is My Turn\u003c\/em\u003e's 2015 release, along with a traditional song and two civil rights-era songs, \"Birmingham Sunday\" and Staple Singers' well-known \"Freedom Highway,\" from which the album takes it's name. Giddens co-produced \u003ci\u003eFreedom Highway\u003c\/i\u003e with multi-instrumentalist Dirk Powell in his Breaux Bridge, Louisiana studio, with the bulk of recording done in wooden rooms built prior to the Civil War. As producers, Giddens and Powell sought to release the stories already in the walls, allowing the space to be a voice in itself. This approach allowed for an emotional fearlessness and presence not always easy to achieve in the studio. Together they assembled the players, which included her superb touring band, local musicians from the bayou, a soulful horn section from New York, and talented family members. The principle recording was done over an intense eight day period. The result is an album that is rawer and more personal than it's predecessor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracks\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAt the Purchaser's Option\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Angels Laid Him Away\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJulie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBirmingham Sunday\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBetter Get It Right the First Time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe Could Fly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHey B̩b̩\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCome Love Come\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Love We Almost Had\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBaby Boy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFollowing the North Star\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFreedom Highway\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/user\/1ws4vl50usvjlgzuvm7nsr13d\/playlist\/2vcCPpuZzbyA6VKFlCnUXg\" width=\"300\" height=\"280\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Alliance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49943801724999,"sku":"ywg1793415163435","price":22.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/5907\/8471\/files\/rhiannon-giddens---freedom-highway_1.jpg?v=1793415171","url":"https:\/\/campcookware.shop\/products\/rhiannon-giddens-freedom-highway","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
