Gillian Welch – Time (The Revelator)
I guess we had a couple of her records before this one came out. But
when it did we listened to it, it sat for a while and grew on us. Mimi
and I are equal on this one – it’s been played in the kitchen so many
times. She’s doing something with songwriting that’s really
adventurous, original, satisfying on a full record level. She’s
breaking out of certain songwriting traditions. There’s something we
hear in what they do that we somehow recognise and resonate with.
We’re not doing the same thing but just the whole idea of two voices
getting away with very little instrumentation – they pull it off in
some admirable ways
