Songs of 2017- "At the Purchaser's Option," Rhiannon Giddens

There was little doubt before 2017 that Rhiannon Giddens was a singular artist, but whatever doubt might have been left was thrown out with "Freedom Highway," her album released in February.

"At the Purchaser's Option" is the album's best song, a shattering testament to a time that should always be remembered.

There have been few songs as powerful in recent memory, much less the past year.
