Musician Rhiannon Giddens has won Grammys, a Pulitzer, and a MacArthur "Genius Grant." But her new album is a true love letter to her North Carolina roots and features former Carolina Chocolate Drops bandmate Justin Robinson. The album is called "What Did the Blackbird Say to the Crow."Giddens and Robinson join us to talk about North Carolina's musical past, taking the time to learn at the feet of a master, and what it means to call a place home.Want to support 1A?
