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.

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

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.
