Rhiannon Giddens has released five solo albums since 2015. Before that, she was a member of the Grammy-winning band, the Carolina Chocolate Drops. She is now also the artistic director of the Silkroad Ensemble, the musical supergroup that Yo-Yo Ma founded.

Rhiannon Giddens is one of those people where I feel like they have to start inventing new awards, because sheโ€™s already won all of them. Sheโ€™s got multiple Grammys, she won the Pulitzer Prize for an opera she co-wrote called Omar, sheโ€™s a MacArthur Genius, and the new Beyonce song โ€œTexas Hold โ€˜Em,โ€ the one that features the banjo? Thatโ€™s Rhiannon Giddens playing the banjo. (I guess thatโ€™s not technically an award, but it feels like one to me.)

In 2023, Rhiannon released an album called Youโ€™re the One, and I talked to her about the song she wrote called โ€œYou Louisiana Man,โ€ which was nominated for a Grammy for Best American Roots Performance.
