How I'm feeling lately, Part Troix


Halfway through their show at Town Hall a few weeks ago, Gillian, between songs, said, "Funny thing we've discovered.. New York is a banjo-lovin town!"

To which a man in the audience replied, "Damn right! New York Plucking City!"


Gil and David laughed, as did we all.


Without further ado, I give you Wrecking Ball.

A note on a voice I can't stop listening to


Gillian Welch embodies redemption, resurrection, transcendence, infinite wisdom.

I love all of her work, but the album "Soul Journey" is first among equals. Truly equals.
