Rhiannon Giddens releases her duet recording of the late Bill Withers' "Just the Two of Us", recorded a few years ago with her longtime collaborator Sxip Shirey. The track features soulful vocals and unique instrumentation, and comes as a timely offering from Giddens' self-isolation in Limerick, Ireland.
“We made this song in a very un-socially distanced time, a few years ago when our paths crossed in New York - it sat, untouched in our vaults since then. When Bill Withers passed, we suddenly remembered we had made this beautiful version of Just The Two of Us, and thought it would serve as the perfect backdrop to the reality of where we are now - staying inside so that our healthcare workers have the best chance to fight this virus that cares nothing for the artificial divisions we have put up between us. So whether it's just the two of us, or just a few of us; whether the lockdown has been for months or its about to be lifted; Covid-19 is here for the forseeable future, and the more we can be alone together now, the better the future will be.”
- Rhiannon Giddens
