Review for Gillian Welch:
The Harrow & The Harvest, Gill and Dave's latest record is the product of two people who have become so entwined in one another that the songs and the singing and the playing on this record seems to exude from a single voice. This is the sound of two people in a room, playing to one another, with one another. This is the sound of the room in which the two people are playing. This is the sound of two voices, locked in unison, locked in harmony. The sound of two people playing live, with no overdubs, and very few takes. Two people making music together as if they were one soul combined.
The record has little of the sweet sunny south; in fact, there's a real dark pallor to the thing -- and the language in the songs seems to recall the shady groves of Tennessee far more than anything that the duet has done in recent memory. The record they've made, tonally, is a new Southern sound, with the sort of songs you wouldn't be surprised to hear issuing from some verdant, wooded hollow in Appalachia; the sort of songs you'd expect to be sung to soothe unquiet babies. Songs you'd expect to hear hollered from an Asheville grange hall, all too late in the evening. Gill and Dave, have arrived at a place in their music where it seems to be impossible to attribute those words to one or the other.
“As a songwriting team," says Dave, "we are more seamless and fluid than ever before. It's nearly impossible to unravel."
