		Welch was born in Manhattan and was adopted when she was three days old.
		Welch had a cameo appearance in the Coen Brothers movie O Brother, Where Art Thou, which featured two of her performances, as a girl in a record store trying to obtain a copy of the Soggy Bottom Boys' recording of "Man of Constant Sorrow."

		Welch's sweet hillbilly sound is at once haunting and soothing; an amalgamation of different styles that results in a very unique brand of music, which she dubs "American primitive."
		Born in October 1967 in Manhattan, Gillian moved to Los Angeles with her folks and older sister when she was 4 years old.
		As her parents were both musicians, Gillian grew up in a house filled with different instruments, and often found herself in a musical circle with her family.

	The New Yorker: Fact (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Welch is a singer and songwriter whose music is not easily classified—it is at once innovative and obliquely reminiscent of past rural forms—and Rawlings is her partner.
		Welch’s parents claimed her the day after she was born, and, honoring rules imposed on the adoption, they sent a friend to the hospital to collect her.
		Welch and Rawlings ordered cones dipped in chocolate, and while we waited for them Welch said there was a path that led from the back of the parking lot through an alley to their old house.

		Gillian Welch cds and Gillian Welch records can be found on the label Acony Records.
		Welch's songs are haunting and romantic musings that seem to use the tempo of a dying heartbeat for a metronome.
		Her study and deliverance (no pun intended) of old timey Americana and Bluegrass music are a large influence in her sound, but she maintains her own subtly soulful (and sometimes sultry) voice to birth new ideas and phrasings within her appreciation of America's musical history.

	Gillian Welch and David Rawlings - PopMatters Concert Review
		So now Welch and Rawlings are an iconic pair: Carter Family aficionados still broken-hearted about Elvis and his Vegas years ("He was all alone / in a long decline"), Stanley Brothers fans remembering a back-seat seduction by the Steve Miller song ("Quicksilver Girl / and she's free") on the radio.
		Gillian Welch asks, "Who is watching?" and I hear "Effigy" from Credence Clearwater Revival's 1969 album Willy and the Poorboys.

		Welch has traded the guidance of her previous producer, T Bone Burnett, for the sympathetic studio skills of her longtime guitarist-harmony singer David Rawlings, who loosens the reins just enough to allow moments of spontaneity to sparkle within the duo's spare, eloquent playing.
		Welch and songwriting partner Rawlings (who backs her throughout on guitar and vocals) have produced their strongest batch of songs to date, some of which are far removed from the Carter Family-influenced style.
		Welch's sense of the tragic is tempered by her voice, a transparent instrument of beauty that allows her soul to entertain us.

		First, Welch had to put behind her all the suggestions that her citified self had no "right" to get within a coon's holler of the old mountain music.
		McKinley and the Harmony Grits have been playing in and around Santa Cruz for years, and while Welch was working her way through photography classes up at UCSC back in the early '90s, the band was playing regular gigs at Sluggo's pizza.
		On their third and most recent effort, Time (The Revelator), Welch and Rawlings calmly put rock and roll to bed, as if all along it was just some red-faced 2-year-old looking for a bit of attention, and they tenderly return the child to the crib to rest while they play a few tunes.

		Gillian Welch is pretty sure she should keep her day job.
		What's interesting about Gillian, though, is that she's comfortable with the niche that she has created and seems like she's completely from another time -- the way she writes, her clothes, everything.
		Although Welch is usually billed as a solo artist, Rawlings is certainly her equal as a songwriter and producer.

	Country Music Article - Time reveals all for Gillian Welch, September 2001
		Welch says within the songs is "incorporated aÉrock and roll sensibility," and that "much larger arrangements are continuously implied" in the songs, meaning that whatever the two musicians couldn't directly convey was sonically hinted at, with the intriguing result that the presence of only a pair of players belies what meets the ear.
		Welch was initially drawn to bluegrass because of "its rawness." "I was listening to really raw early rock-n-roll and...early punk," says Welch; when she first listened to the Stanley Brothers, she heard music that was "equally raw" and "unprettied up," but "the sound was ecstatic - the harmonies."
		When Moss retired, says Welch, she "mourned the loss of a record man." She is careful to distinguish between "label executives," who make the music industry commercially driven and artistically vapid, and "record men," who care about artist development and creative autonomy, and of whom Moss was, in Welch's view, the last one.

		Welch says it had long been a dream of hers to record in Studio B, adding, “When you're in there, you can see how that room shaped the history of country music.
		These days, Studio B is both a museum for tourists and a space-for-hire, where groups can bring in their own equipment and put it alongside the ancient gear that is part of the exhibit.

		Gillian Welch has captured the ethos of mountain music in a way that few lowlanders have managed, and that's just a little disconcerting.
		Welch's vocals, meanwhile, are stoical and matter-of-fact as her songs, which are infused with a repressed dread and contrition that's utterly convincing.
		The impressive songwriting of Gillian Welch and David Rawlings is, over time, building into a treasure-house of contemporary American acoustic music -- and if she's not from the hills of Arkansas or Kentucky or Tennesse, yet can write and sing these songs like this, more power to her.
