by Gillian Welch

Produced by T Bone Burnett, this sparse and haunting debut revitalized traditional Appalachian mountain music for a modern audience. Alongside her musical partner David Rawlings, Welch's close-harmony singing and acoustic instrumentation deeply emphasized historical American folk forms over contemporary Nashville trends. The striking authenticity of the recordings sparked immediate critical acclaim and essentially catalyzed the contemporary Americana movement.
