"There's no contemporary artist who performs American roots music with more authenticity than Welch." — Associated Press

"We have been working and waiting 20 years to bring you our music on phonograph record. It took a while, because we wanted to do it the right way, the absolute best way humanly possible, and I believe that's what we've done. No sonic stone was left unturned, no nuance let fall by the wayside. There is honestly nothing else I can imagine hoping to hear out of the original tapes. It is all there in the groove. As people whose lives were changed by the sound of music coming off turntables, we humbly invite you to include us in your record collection." — Gillian Welch

Gillian Welch and her musical partner David Rawlings have recorded eight studio albums and have lent their talents to countless fellow artists' recordings. Recently, Welch & Rawlings released their latest collaboration, David Rawlings's Poor David's Almanack, a wry mixture of acoustic and electric music rich in ageless American vernacular. The album of 10 new songs was engineered by studio wizards Ken Scott (Beatles, David Bowie) and Matt Andrews on analog tape during a week of sessions at legendary Woodland Sound Studios in Nashville, Tennessee.

In recognition of their remarkable career, Welch and Rawlings were honored with the Americana Lifetime Achievement Award for Songwriting in 2015 and the Berklee American Masters Award in 2016.

Amazing Amazing Amazing!! posted on 09/04/2018 5 Stars Reviewer: 300b4me I have listened to this recording on the original CD release countless times. Hearing this now on vinyl is truly hearing this great recording for the first time! I have many "audiophile" records but I have to say that to date this one of the best I own.
