"Since 1996, when Gillian Welch and her partner, the guitarist David Rawlings, released 'Revival,' their début album, they've been making tense and eerie acoustic music about desire and devastation, the sacred and the profane, by and by, Lord, by and by."
"These songs obliterate notions of time and place, focusing, instead, on the threads of joy and sorrow that make us human. This month, Welch and Rawlings will release 'Woodland,' their seventh collaboration."
"It seems preposterous that Welch's provenance—she was adopted and brought up in Los Angeles—was once controversial within the roots-music scene, as the vernacular music they create is inclusive and yielding by design."
"Art is how I relate to the world; I have to do this to communicate, because I'm not that great at expressing myself outside of it. I try; I'm a decently verbal person."
