Congratulations to Gillian Welch and David Rawlings!

@slaw 

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. 

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 

I guess I’m in the minority. Given a choice to listen to Gillian or David sing, I’ll take Gillian every time. However, I do greatly admire and enjoy David's guitar playing. He’s in a select small group of guitarists who truly possess a style all their own. That in and of itself is an enormous accomplishment.

Always loved Gillian and David. I was shocked to hear just how great Rawlings voice sounds live when I saw them last year. He's also a very good and passionate guitar player. I will always support his Acony label. 

I was very happy when both of Levon Helms' last two albums won Grammy Awards, Dirt Farmer for best Traditional Folk Album and Electric Dirt for best Americana album. I fitting way to go out.

A great article @mashif, thanks for the link. I knew nothing about the Woodland Sound Studio story.

It's nice to see the Grammy's occasionally get something right.   Even a blind pig...

I recommend anything these two produce on vinyl. The newest one is the only one I haven't picked up yet (been on a classical tear lately) but I'm looking forward to spinning it.

My fingers are crossed that they will release Gillian's earlier albums (technically Gillian albums, but Dave is always present, and vice versa). They are wonderful.

If you have a chance to see them, do yourself a favor and get as close to the stage as you can. I saw them at the Ryman and had to be rushed to the hospital after the show for acute goosebumpism.

I already knew that the album won a Grammy and rightfully deserving!  FANTASTIC recording!!

The Beatles "Now & Then" also won a Grammy.

It's a great album and sounds beautiful. Woodland Sound Studio is a storied Nashville place that has a long history. If you're not familiar, here's a link. And if you are maybe someone else is interested in the back story.

Oops, they’re not their.

They also won for "All the Good Times." They are playing Carnegie Hall, in May. I will be there.

And whatta ya know, their including Portland, Oregon in their current tour, so I'll finally get to see and hear them live for the first time. Tickets don't go on sale til Feb. 14th, so I don't yet know what it'll cost me.
