  "took her cat and left L.A." ....."she was busted, broke and flat - had to sell that pussy cat" 
That's not THAT hard to figure out...

You guys are talking back and forth about instruments and failing to notice that this woman is just remarkably hard-core and has both seen and lived the country version of the hard, street life .  Pay attention to what she's singing.

Yeah, this is not country. I saw her once, quite a good show. It was put on by the "Rogue Folk Club", not the "Grand Ole Opry"

Love this cover art (in addition to the music)! Just picked up this CD a few days ago and was very pleased that the artwork is embossed on cotton paper stock, suitable for framing, which is exactly what I'm going to do with it.

How can you say that!!

Takes us Brits to appreciate true genius,,, saw her and David Rawlins before Xmas and was blown away by the artistry - he is such a good guitarist and she's not so bad either!  Just the two of them had the hall transfixed... just like all good music should.
And followed by Thea Gilmore... also saw her recently in the wonderfully named St. Bonaventura's Social Club in Bristol.... about 150 or so in the audience..also great!

What's up next?

While I think this is a good song, RP plays it much too frequently. Isn't there another good song off this album that could be played, instead?

Yes, you do.  Simply incredible!  Gillian and David really were made for each other on the stage.

for some reason this tune has been stuck in my head these last few weeks, although I've only heard it a few times on this station - Im taking that as a sign that this is a pretty good song with some resonance in there somewhere......it's not profound or earth-shattering or anything, but has a very grounded feeling that i like

I really can't deal with the repetition of the "oh" sounds in this song.  I just keep hearing OH.. OH.. OH.. OH over and over.  I turn it down until the song passes.

Saw Gillian and David at a medium size venue a few weeks ago.  The audience was absolutely silent.....appreciating every note and nuance.  Fabulous show.  More, please..........

Saw them for second time at Newport Folk Festival this yr - incredible show/set had the entire place spellbound. These two take music and song writing to a whole new level.

Encore for sure !     This CD is wonderful.   Years ago I saw Gillian and David play in a very small venue in Dayton,OH (Canal Street).  I remember it as one of the few times I've ever witnessed a sold out house in a bar become absolutely spellbound.   The talents of these two fit so well together that it became like magic.  They've obviously still "got it"

Thats right, like says artist N. Jones i "Don't Know Why", but this is a fantastic song. Pure, simple and organic, like a love at first sight. The simplicity and naturalness of the artist G. Welch, his detachment for any type of decorations and ornaments that are unrelated to music, is charming and disconcerting, as I have not seen for a long time in the arts, where almost everyone wants to be the "star". Nice work too D. Rawlings on guitar.  9.

All songs written and composed by Gillian Welch and David Rawlings. According to Welch, "The songs are mostly first and second takes, and Dave composed some of the music spontaneously in the studio. It was very freeing. We learned to accept mistakes and rough edges, because those didn't impede what the heart of the matter was"
