"The former Carolina Chocolate Drop imbued new songs with the gravity of traditionals, and highlighted old injustices that were still, scandalously, relevant in 2017.", "FREEDOM HIGHWAY offers nine of her own confident compositions plus three covers, including the Staples Singers’ famous civil-rights anthem as the title track....A cornucopia of trad African-American styles, flavored with New Orleans jazz, field holler blues, gospel and protest-style folk.", "Giddens’ earthy, opera-trained soprano maintains not just dignity, but savors the world around her."
