Gillian Welch/David Rawlings

Any other fans here?

There's been a copy of Time (The Revelator) kicking around my house forever, and apparently this is the year it hit me. Pretty rare to listen to two musicians so well matched, and their duo recordings just sound incredible.

David's playing has been a big inspiration lately.

Here's as good a place to start as any:

Absolutely. I’m a huge fan of theirs. :-*
The cool thing about fretless is you can hit a note...and then renegotiate.

I absolutely love them. :-*

I was lucky enough to see them play in London a few years back at the Hammersmith Apollo...I paid dearly for front row centre tickets through ebay as I missed the actual sale. They were the most expensive tickets ever, but also most likely my second favourite gig of all time.

No regrets :-* 8)
