Here’s a nice little Gillian and David set to tide you over till the (finally) put a new album out. Word is have been working on it and on this very show here is a new song (Knuckleball Catcher). You even get to hear a little Emmylou & Gillian harmonizing on this set (God I love it when they do that). I also love the picture I used for the artwork of this. An actual picture from the show as they were preparing to take the stage. Just an awesome picture that evokes all those country rock promo shots from the late 60’s and early 70’s.

This is a cool little disc of what the Gillian Welch masterpiece album Revival sounded like at one time. To me this sounds like they were channeling alot more Gram than Maybelle, and it makes for an interesting comparison. Some of the songs sound pretty good, but some of them just don’t work well at all. I’m glad they took the minimalist approach to the final album…..either way these are great songs and it’s really hard to mess them up. Just compared to the released album they don’t compare…..at least not to my ears.

Some more acoustic type stuff. This is a collection of live covers from Gillian & David, you may know Gillian from her work on the “O’ Brother” soundtrack, and she also had a bit part in that movie. They are doing their thing here, which is rootsy folk music in the old time style of the Carter Family. Some of my favorite cuts off this are Lefty’s “Long Black Veil”, a killer version of Townes Van Zandt’s “White Freightliner Blues” (they also do Townes’ “Pancho & Lefty), the standard “I’ll Fly Away”, and my favorite off this “Dusty Boxcar Walls”.
I don’t really care for the artwork, but I found it online at this site http://jack.mauveweb.co.uk/artists/welch/lo.html which also has some more info on this album.
