Gillian Welch

When her debut album appeared in 1996, Gillian Welch was a marked contrast to her contemporaries. Miles removed from the Lilith Fair generation, Welch offered a wilfully anachronistic sound deeply rooted in the traditions of bluegrass, folk, and old-time country. With partner David Rawlings, she crafted striking original songs that sounded like they came from another era. Her participation in the craze-starting bluegrass soundtrack for O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU? raised her profile considerably, though by 2001's TIME (THE REVELATOR) she had expanded her approach a bit beyond her old-school influences.
