About Gillian Welch
Biografie van artiest
Like the best folk music, Gillian Welchās output seems to exist outside the flow of linear time. Her debut album, 1996ās skeletal and captivating Revival, could have been mistaken for a lost recording from decades before, and in the years since, her recordings have only probed deeper into the enduring spirit of old-time country and bluegrass. Born in New York City in 1967, Welch grew up in Los Angeles, attending alternative schools and singing folk music; in college, she cycled through scrappy rock bands before rediscovering her love of bluegrass and eventually, after studying music at Berkleeāwhere she met her partner, guitarist David Rawlingsādecamping to Nashville. (The pair have called themselves a duo that simply bears only one of their names.) As a storyteller, she favors tales of outlaws and neāer-do-wells, the woebegone and down-and-out, and the duoās acoustic playing gives the music a similarly timeless cast. The heart of it all is Welchās voice: mournful, weary, tapping into the mystery of what author Greil Marcus called the āold, weird Americaā with uncommon grace.
