Windswept: Rawlings andWelchin Nashville,2024
THIRTY years into their shared career, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings have devised a new way to add a little fire to their distinctive strain of country music. They have in the past released records billed to one or the other, even though they collaborate intimately on everything. Woodland, however, is their first collection of original material billed to both of them. It is, they both attest, simply a reflection of how they’ve always worked, but on this album there’s more freedom and variety in the arrangements.
