American Railroad

'American Railroad,' a new album from The Silkroad Ensemble with Rhiannon Giddens, will be released November 15 on Nonesuch Records. The album is the culmination of four years of research, collaboration, and music-making, having broughtSilkroadartists all across the United States to uncover and uplift the stories of those who built the transcontinental railroad and connecting railways across North America."We shed light on those who have been erased or overlooked throughout American history and merge with it Silkroad's unique ability to amplify voices from a multitude of backgrounds and cultures," Giddens says. "The result is a tapestry of stories, traditions, and musics that have shaped our multifaceted cultural identity, and that must be heard and recognized. I hope audiences will leave with a clearer sense of where we come from, how we got here, what it cost us-and that we collectively reflect on where we're headed."
