2021 release. Rhiannon Giddens' They're Calling Me Home was recorded with Italian multi-instrumentalist Francesco Turris. Giddens and Turrisi, who both live in Ireland when they aren't on tour, have been there since March 2020 due to the pandemic. The two expats found themselves drawn to the music of their native and adoptive countries of America, Italy, and Ireland during lockdown. Exploring the emotions brought up by the moment, Giddens and Turrisi decamped to Hellfire, a small studio on a working farm outside of Dublin, to record these songs over six days. The result is They're Calling Me Home, a twelve-track album that speaks of the longing for the comfort of home as well as the metaphorical "call home" of death, which has been a tragic reality for so many during the COVID-19 crisis.

"I Shall Not Be Moved" arranged by R. Giddens and F. Turrisi after Joe Thompson. "Nenna Nenna" arranged by R. Giddens and F. Turrisi after Pino de Vittorio.
