What is home? Is it the place you live in right now? Is it the town you grew up in? What if home wasn't a place, but a feeling?
Rhiannon Giddens explores this question on her new album, They're Calling Me Home, which was recorded with her collaborator and partner Francesco Turrisi. From Giddens' hometown of Greensboro, N.C., to her and Turrisi's adopted home of Ireland, the two artists consider all facets of home.
In this episode, Rhiannon Giddens discusses the different locations that influenced the album and performs a few tracks from They're Calling Me Home. Listen to the full session via the audio player above.
