Dave Rawls and Gillian Welch are successful because they actually have talent. They don't rely on shock, controversy, or slick media spin doctors to make them look good. Their sound is organic.
Gillian and Dave, how I have loved you. How many miles into mornings and nights I have filled my car and soul with you. How I have not been alone. Thank you.
I really love Gillian and Dave. I was introduced to them via Time (The Revelator) in Oxford in about 1998, and have listened to them ever since. Saw them in London, Shepherd's Bush Empire, in 2003. For the encore they did Black Star. Blew me away. Gillian said that when she came to rehearse it she found she knew all the words, without even trying. I thought that this was a superb interview. She came across so well, and the interviewer, James Griffin, was brilliant. Thanks for uploading!
When I first heard Gillian Welch’s music (“Elvis Presley Blues” was in one of my brother's mixes - and I had to sit down), it seemed to me that whatever path she’d navigated to be able to write that song was somehow parallel to the trail I had followed to become such an avid listener. Now I understand that she is one of America’s most accomplished and important music-makers.
Gillian and Dave are pure magic. Their music transcends time. It sounds like it could have come out 100 years ago but it also sounds as fresh as soemthing that came out last week. Feel very fortunate to have seen them several times in concert
I've been a huge fan of Gillian and Dave for years. My husband brought me some of their music because I, too, was adopted and also play the banjo. I will always be grateful to them for sharing their gifts and talent with the world. It certainly has been the soundtrack to many of my days.
Grew up with my dad playing her music, rediscovering it over the last few months and goddamn... Cuts deep and hard man, nothing like it. Truly some next level stuff. She writes songs I'd want to be hearing in my last breath on earth, you know? Just the realest shit out there.

Thank the universe for Gillian. She is in touch with and touches the soul of real people. And I am grateful for all of you who get her.
She is special. So is Rawlings. That they found one another is incomprehensible.

Dave and Gillian are perhaps the most underrated artists ever. Absolutely brilliant.

sits there and gives a vocal performance that would be "the take" on any other singer's session. The best. Never mind the great material...
She's my new favorite. I lost 4 people in my life, in one month. "Dream A Highway Back to You" is like medicine 💊 ✨️ 🎶
She's a real artist. Great musician, impressive writer. The pair is a taste of truth

Her guitar work is so solid and that particular guitar's tone wow
Some of Gillian’s songs are spellbinding beautiful, so raw and simple but can pull your heart out. I wish there was more of it .

That is what I call a competent interviewer!
I have a one word review of this woman's work and presence in this world.
I just fall hypnotized by her soothing voice.
She gave me back my hope for the music industry. Her and David.
11 people don't have ears. How can you dislike such an artist.
