I love Gillian Welch

Get thee to a record store or Gillian Welch's site for her latest "The Harrow & The Harvest."  I am unable to comprehend how one writes and performs a song like Tennessee - it gives me the good chills even while including words outside of a comfortable vocabulary that can shatter a song moment, like "beefsteak."  Maybe when the music is so rad you can say whatever you want?  but the words are equally sublime. ah.

My friend Alan Light interviewed Gillian and Dave Rawlings if you want some backstory.  I'm going to stop writing about it and go listen to it again.
