Congratulations to Gillian Welch and David Rawlings!

 

I don't watch the Grammy Awards show, so I just heard (via an email from the duo's website) that Gillian and David won the Best Folk Album award at the recent ceremony. Does winning that award still result in an increase of album sales? I also wonder if non-audiophiles notice the album sounds a lot better than most albums.

I wasn't qualifying their voices, just remarking on personal experience. Rawlings has always taken a backseat to Welch. It's nice that she's supporting his artistic expression now

Didn't intend to suggest you were. 

I'm just disappointed by the fact that they take turns with the vocals on this release, as opposed to their older recordings where Gillian sang lead on everything.
