Watch Rhiannon Giddens’ Rollicking Performance of ‘You Louisiana Man’ on ‘Kimmel’


Rhiannon Giddens performed her single "You Louisiana Man" on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live.'

It was produced by Jack Splash and featured musical contributions by Giddens’ partner, multi-instrumentalist Francesco Turrisi, as well as Dirk Powell, Jason Sypher, and Congolese guitarist Niwel Tsumbu. Last year, Giddens was awarded a Pulitzer Prize in Music for the opera Omar, which she co-wrote with Michael Abels. In February, she contributed a cover of “The Ballad of Sally Anne” to My Black Country: The Songs of Alice Randall, a tribute record to the songwriter and novelist that featured a generation of younger artists like Allison Russell and Adia Victoria interpreting Randall’s songbook.
