Any gillian welch fans?


Maybe I have been living under a rock too long...just discovered this artist and have been blown away...anybody else into this laid back, dust bowl, summertime on the porch, mint julip hootenany sound?

Check her latest, "Soul Journey"(Acony Records), it's really good. Saw her live at The Roxy (L.A.)a couple of months ago... She was outstanding. So was David Rawlings who, I believe, is her husband.
I have most of her releases and like everything.

To my ears, I enjoy her voice the more I listen, for some folks, her music may require a few rotations, then see if her music click's in.

Her recordings seam to be simply miked without a lot of added production.

She also performs a few songs live in the "Down From The Mountain" DVD issue and is also in many other group compliation/tribute type CD issues. I should locate a few titles of these tribute type recordings for you and post them later.
I stumbled upon the Revelator album and have since purchased every one of her albums. I really like to style and her writing. Her last album is her first "autobiographical" album and it was pretty recorded as is. She's great, but perhaps too dark and slow for some. I like it. I still think revelator is my favorite album.
I've seen her live 5 or 6 times, but am really only enamored with REVIVAL & SOUL JOURNEY, REVIVAL is trancendental...(4 of the songs are in mono)
