For the past 6 or 7 years, I have been totally blown away by the music of Gillian Welsh. This wonderful talent has risen to the top in the craft of songwriting, and together with her partner David Rawlings, they have turned out quality albums. Her recordings are a testimony to the 'less is more' theory. I caught them a few years ago here in Toronto,and this experience left an indellible mark on me. I love the texture and tonal quality of her vocals, and I feel like an artist like this, comes along just every once in awhile. Catch her if you can folks.
