Rough Trade Essential

Gillian Welch is an American singer-songwriter, known for her soulful and introspective folk music. Born on October 2, 1967 in New York, USA, she has captivated audiences with her heartfelt lyrics and haunting melodies. With a career spanning over three decades, Gillian Welch has established herself as one of the most respected voices in contemporary folk music.
Her unique blend of traditional Appalachian sounds and modern storytelling has earned her critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base. Drawing inspiration from classic country and bluegrass artists, Gillian Welch's songs are filled with raw emotion and poetic imagery.
Whether performing solo or alongside her musical partner David Rawlings, Gillian Welch's live performances are intimate experiences that transport listeners to another time and place. Her timeless sound continues to resonate with audiences around the world, making her a true icon in the folk music genre.

The considerable promise carried forth on <a href="https://roughtrade.com/us/artist/gillian-welch">Gillian Welch's</a> first two albums is thoroughly fulfilled on Time (the Revelator).

Welch has traded the guidance of her previous producer, T-Bone Burnett, for the sympathetic studio skills of her longtime guitarist-harmony singer David Rawlings, who loosens the reins just enough to allow moments of spontaneity to sparkle within the duo's spare, eloquent playing. Revelator is an instant classic, perhaps the first great American folk song of the 21st century. I want to sing that rock and roll is three minutes of Louvins / Everlys-style bliss. april the 14th, part 1 haunts its historical context with an achingly melancholy melody. It all leads up to the epic 14-minute I Dream a Highway', one of the finest closing tracks ever put on record.
