Florence Price was the first African-American woman to be recognized for her symphonies. Her String Quartet No.2 is a mix of European romanticism, her 'Southern' roots, the emerging blues and African-American spirituals. The title of the album derives from a song Rhiannon Giddens wrote after seeing a 19th-c. advertisement for a female slave whose 9-month-old baby was also for sale, but 'at the purchaser's option'. One of the lines of the song is: "You can take my blood. But not my soul."
