    The result is the gorgeous Tomorrow is My Turn, which shows off the full singing range and power of the frontwoman for innovative string-band trio the Carolina Chocolate Drops.

    Everything works on Tomorrow Is My Turn, an album that heralds the arrival of a major American artist.

    Her easy, welcoming touch is a balm every time Tomorrow Is My Turn is played, but it's upon successive spins that the intricacies of Giddens' construction--not to mention her subtle political messages--begin to take hold.

    Thirty-something mother-of-two Giddens's versatility is breath-taking. [Mar 2015, p.108]

    The combination of Burnette’s characteristically genuine, acoustic based production, Giddens’ sumptuous voice and a conceptual set list that never feels musty, yields a wonderful album whose restrained pleasures reveal themselves gradually over repeated playings.

    Turn is a haunting, often painfully beautiful example of how songs that may seem dead and buried can sublimely rise from the grave.

    Most of the time, as on a soulful version of Patsy Cline's "She's Got You," Giddens imbues these classics with a freshness and vitality that feel right at home in 2015.
