Gillian Welch: “Nothing has ever sounded as beautiful as acoustic instruments on analog tape, and when you record everything at once, you capture our favorite sound, the sound of the instruments and the voices combining in the air, as opposed to the more common process of combining them electronically or digitally later."

I've always loved her music but I end up depressed. My Morphine, Coal Miner's Lament, and the one about stabbing a guy in the neck with a broken bottle can really put a dent in a buzz.
Well I guess some stuff happens that you just have to write a song about. :) She does seem to have slipped into a sort of melancholy period the past couple of years. Some might say 'meditative.'
She is dedicated to saving the old folk tunes that no one outside Appalachia have ever heard. I'm glad has has saved them, but those people in the mountains after WWI must have had a horrible time.
We just lost Hazel Dickens, I'm glad the next generation is carrying on the tradition.
