Time (The Revelator)»rank: 9837par: Gillian Welch
Chroniques et points de vue:Amazon.ca:Fittingly for an Appalachia-influenced folk singer born to parents who wrote for the Carol Burnett show, Gillian Welch watched her profile rise thanks to inclusion on the 0 Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack. This, her third album, rates between her strong first and insufferable second. Welch still has a knack for calling up personal stories from American mythos: The best track here, 'My First Lover,' boasts a narrator who recalls losing her virginity to 'that old Steve Miller song, 'Quicksilver Girl.'' She's more holy, less earthbound, when leadenly ... |

Soul Journey»rank: 10039par: Gillian Welch
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Blessed with a soulful and expressive voice and an innate grasp of the melodies and themes of traditional country music, Gillian Welch has made three beautiful, often brilliant, albums. Yet, one can make the case that she's still searching for her own true artistic voice. Soul Journey brings her ever closer to that elusive goal.

Chroniques et points de vue:From :Gillian Welch has captured the ethos of mountain music in a way that few lowlanders have managed, and that's just a little disconcerting. 0utsiders aren't supposed to be able to infiltrate tight-knit clans. Producer T-Bone Burnett creates intimacy by recording Welch live with a small cast of supporting players, including Welch's partner, David Rawlings. While many of the songs are built around duo acoustic guitars and two-part harmonies, Burnett spices up a few of them up with some neat tricks, mixing an upright bass above the vocals ... |

Hell Among The Yearlings»rank: 15985par: Gillian Welch
Chroniques et points de vue:From :0n her remarkable debut, Revival, Gillian Welch sang of men and women who were intimately tied to others, even as they mourned dead children or lost homes. Hell Among the Yearlings finds Welch in even darker territory. ln this world, loss can't be assuaged by human connection because there is none: morphine junkies, dying hobos, and alienated workers stand utterly alone in a sparse landscape where hope comes, if at all, in merely surviving. For example, the woman who kills her rapist or the singer who unconvincingly ... |
