Gillian Welch is back with new album after 8 year hiatus. Bluegrass fans can now breathe a sigh of relief. Gillian Welch is finally back with a new album, The Harrow & The Harvest, after an eight year long hiatus. After experiencing a seemingly unshakable case of writer's block and frustration with the material produced, Welch and her musical partner, guitarist David Rawlings, managed to release a stunning album that was worth the wait. In contrast to her previous album, Soul Journey, which added electric guitar and drums, with The Harrow & The Harvest Welch takes [...]

I regret not becoming a Gillian Welch fan before this Independence Day weekend. I purchased Time (The Revelator) years ago and never made it through a complete spin. If digital albums could collect dust, that thing would be covered in cobwebs. At the coincidental urging of two friends last week, I finally decided to give Gillian her do. I downloaded Soul Journey and her latest album The Harrow & The Harvest via eMusic and listened to little else this holiday weekend. The Harrow & The Harvest is a triumphant [...]
It's July and we have officially reached the half way point of 2011. As it seems the thing to do, I too have been looking back at my new albums from this year and I have to say, it's been a great start to the year! With this in mind I would like to present my list for the Top 5 albums of 2011 So Far . This is also a Holler Back! feature so blowup the feedback box and let me know what you [...]
As all of the staff here at HT know, the creative process of putting pen to paper - or in our case hands to keyboard - doesn't always flow as easily as we'd like it to each and every day, so we can certainly sympathize with the plight of Gillian Welch . After releasing a string of critically acclaimed albums, the last of which being 20032s Soul Journey , the folkie singer-songwriter went through a long bouts of frustration in her, and her long-time musical partner David Rawlings attempts at a follow up record.

Once again it's time for a quick look at things I simply couldn't get around to this week. In this edition: Graham Wright, Shirts Vs. Skins Tokyo Police Club member and CBC Radio 3 released his new solo album this week. The keyboard sounds of TPC have been toned down. In their place are some catchy indie pop tunes with plenty of oooo, ahhhs and other hooky devices. Our friends at Greyowl

Video: Gillian Welch Plays Conan - "The Way It Goes" Gillian Welch and David Rawlings stopped by Conan for a live take on the first single off their long-awaited fifth studio album, The Harrow & the Harvest , streaming here .
It's been eight years since Gillian Welch released Soul Journey in collaboration with David Rawlings, but this week she ended the wait for new material with The Harrow & The Harvest . The singer appeared on Conan O'Brien's show last night (June 28) to perform "The Way It Goes" from that record, which bears the kind of rustic country sound that Welch has established over many years in the business. The story behind that gap in releases is simply one of quality control, with Welch feeling like she didn't care for anything she was recording enough to [...]

Foster The People - Torches (StarTime) Em seu álbum de estreia, a Foster the people não economizou elementos e influências para cativar, de primeira, uma base grande de fãs ávidos por uma trilha sonora divertida e despretensiosa. Unindo a sonoridade de grupos como MGMT e Passion Pit , Peter Bjorn & John e Two Door Cinema Club , Phoenix e Hockey , o som do Foster The People parece precisamente calculado para conquistar os fones de ouvido, rádios de carro e dj sets [...]

Gillian Welch 's latest record, " The Harrow and The Harvest " is out today, as her fifth studio recording. She and Dave Rawlings are storytellers, she sings as a heroine- quiet, and bruised. But still as strong and rustic as one of my favorite records, Revelator. These songs, however are elegantly minimalist efforts. They still have that twang of Americana, that mournful Southern folk. The Way It Goes sings the way my mother would say it, 'well that's just how it goes' and what are you going to do? People grow up and have kids and the whole bit [...]
The latest from Gillian Welch may be ten tracks representing "ten different kinds of sad", according to longtime musical partner Dave Rawlings, but it is also a welcome and long overdue return from one of the undisputed queens of American folk/roots music. After an eight year break summed up as something of a creative dry spell for the duo, The Harrow and the Harvest may not take us down any unexplored roads but it confirms with striking, easy authority that Welch and Rawlings together make music that is light years beyond what [...]

I woke up to some great news this Sunday morning in the form of an advance stream of the new Gillian Welch album. The Harrow and the Harvest is Gillian's first in 8 years, is finds the songwriting duo of Welch and David Rawlings recapturing some old magic with 10 great new tracks. Why the long gap in recording? Welch said her and Rawlings had what amounts to almost decade long writer's block, and had a hard time matching the high standards of their earlier work. Rather than rush out something substandard, they waited until the muse struck them and [...]
