Gillian Welch and David Rawlings' songwriting, harmonies and "Keep It Close To The Ground" style are but a few of the reasons why they're among my favorite duos. Their voices blend seamlessly. Gillian's phrasing; Dave's subtlety and mesmerizing guitar.Years back, they were interviewed by Whispering Bill Anderson, who complimented her on her shirt that she wears below in the "Hickory Wind" performance. Gillian said thanks, you should, it used to be yours! A small sample of how this duo honors the tradition--and there is a tradition that merits honoring--but go their own way. And what a way they have...
"Caleb Meyer" and "Time (The Revelator)" are originals; "Hickory Wind" a Gram Parsons masterpiece.
