Monday Morning Video – Gillian Welch and David Rawlings “Miss Ohio”

Monday, May 02, 2016 By Mayer Danzig

Eric Ambel’s recent cover of “Miss Ohio” (listen here) sent me scurrying back to Gillian Welch’s original version. It’s been in heavy rotation ever since. “Yeah, I wanna do right but not right now.”

Readers’ Pick: Gillian Welch, “The Harrow & The Harvest”

Tuesday, July 26, 2011 By Tom Osborne

Gillian Welch, The Harrow & The Harvest

READERS PICK: JUNE 2011 Twangville readers picked Gillian Welch‘s The Harrow & The Harvest as their favorite album of June 2011. A harrow is a heavy, machine-size rake that drags over plowed land to remove weeds and break up lumps of earth and clay. There’s no doubt careful thought was put into the title of […]

The Honey Dewdrops – If the Sun Will Shine

Wednesday, February 03, 2010 By Shawn Underwood

When did Gillian last do an album, 2003?  Sure, David Rawlings had a great release last year, but it was a Dave Rawlings album that Gillian sang on, not a Gillian album.  Well, if you have a hankering for something new in that vein, I suggest you check out the latest release from The Honey […]

The Band Of Heathens – One Foot In The Ether

Thursday, September 24, 2009 By Shawn Underwood

Wikipedia defines Americana as “artifacts related to the history, geography, folklore and cultural heritage of the United States.”  By that, the latest effort from The Band Of Heathens is about as close to a definitive musical interpretation of Americana as you can get.  One Foot In The Ether has a little something for everyone who’s […]

Rocky Mountain Folks Festival – Day Three

Thursday, August 20, 2009 By Shawn Underwood

As the saying goes, Life Is Good.  Especially when the agenda of the day involves sitting outdoors, temps in the 70’s with the occasional cloud, listening to music, with the Rockies as a backdrop and the crystal clear, glacier-fed St. Vrain river steps away if you need to cool off.  Such was my plight on  […]
