		Gillian Welch sings of the sort of people - coal miners, dirt-poor farmers, moonshiners, morphine addicts and wayfaring gamblers - that many of her critics thought too Appalachian for a California girl.
		Welch has touched on the experience of adoption in her music, echoing older traditions of storytelling and balladry with tales of hardship and sorrow.
		Welch points out that the mystery surrounding her birth parents is emblematic of the greater mysteries that underlie anybody's confrontation with identity and destiny.

	KtB - The Revelator
		Gillian Welch -- one of the leaders of the roots revival movement typified by the multi-million selling album O Brother Where Art Thou -- is not an orphan, but sometimes she sings like one.
		Welch opens her second album singing again in the first person: As Nellie Cain, she prays for deliverance from rape at the hand of the title character.
		However, Welch performs a complete transformation, using Johnson’s title alone as a platform from which to launch into her radical reinterpretation: Whereas Johnson’s revelation is supernatural, as is that of his faithful followers, Welch’s notion of revelation is firmly rooted in the temporal.

		The cover of Gillian Welch's second album, Hell Among the Yearlings, shows a pale woman staring straight into the camera, her thin face projecting both vulnerability and strength, the kind of strength that comes from knowing where you stand.
		Welch has received as much attention for what she isn't as for what she is—not country, not folk, not "authentic" enough—but her music radiates no such confusion.
		Like Freakwater and Palace's Will Oldham, Welch has found more of a home in rock clubs than hootenannies, with fans less concerned with her pedigree than with the shot-to-the-heart emotional directness of her music (something Welch no doubt picked up by watching Rank and File and the Blasters play those same clubs).

		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.
		Welch's relative weakness, I think, is the occasional foray into a lost love song (on Revival that would be Paper Wings and Only One and Only) where she is not nearly so distinctive.

		Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings have emerged as the soulful voice of the Americana scene's most accomplished musicians, mixing a sombre modern irony with the hard-bitten grit of old-fashioned American folk music.
		Welch is still wrestling with time, and from all indications, she seems to have the upper hand.
		Anachronisms are Welch's stock in trade; in one breath she sings of the regimental soldier, in the next, about a ragtop convertible the past, present and future getting together in a bar to hoist a few drinks and catch her second set.

		Welch's songs are hauntingly beautiful, evocative studies of timeless individuals with the most basic of concerns: home, love, meaningful work, money, death, and, of course, morphine addiction.
		Welch is obviously influenced by the traditional folk songs of such pioneers as the Carter Family.
		She explains that these are the kinds of songs she was taught to sing since second grade, which she spent at an alternative-education school in southern California: "Truth be told it was run by a bunch of hippies." She grew up thinking that Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land" was the pledge of allegiance.

		Gillian Welch is one such person for me. Welch left L.A. and transplanted herself in Nashville from whence she cometh for Revival, her debut effort.
		Welch's voice is warm with occasional warbles and the harmonies with collaborator David Rawlings are straightforward and clean.
		Welch and Rawling's songs have the same graceful old-fashioned charm and memorability of the classic old tunes on that album.

	Revelations / The stunning, stark roots music of Gillian Welch
		The image of Gillian Welch slinging an electric guitar in a postpunk garage band is somewhat jarring, considering the musical road she's been traveling for most of the '90s.
		Her first two albums, Revival and Hell Among the Yearlings, recorded with the help of musical partner David Rawlings, were praised for their stark, minimalist approach -- just two guitars and two voices -- with a bit of studio polish provided by producer T-Bone Burnett.
		Revival and Hell Among the Yearlings broke all the formulas that had been tarnishing the image of folk- and country-flavored music by returning to the genres' traditional roots.

		Despite the fact that her Revival album was nominated for a Grammy in the category of Best Contemporary Folk Album, Welch is not entirely comfortable with being classified as a folk artist.

		Welch and Rawlings cook up tight mountain style two part harmonies and hard-core hillbilly spirituals, sometimes reminiscent of the Mountain Ramblers..." "Revival" was nominated for a Grammy for Best Contemporary Folk Record that year.
		Welch starts off with a death-ballad "Caleb Meyer", who attempted to rape the first person singular, the fictional singer of the song, only to pay for it with his life, in his neck with a knife.
		Welch's songs grip the listener with the greatest juxtaposition of angelically beautiful instrumentation, sweet singing and lovely yodeling, in the insufferable clash with the song's harsh, desperate theme.

	SALON reviews: Gillian Welch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Welch made a splash at this year's South by Southwest music festival in Austin, garnering strong reviews for her spare, organic arrangements and ethereal vocals.
		She launches the album with two wrenching country-influenced songs, "Orphan Girl" (which appeared on Harris' Grammy-award winning album "Wrecking Ball") and "Annabelle," an elegy to a dead child.
		Welch's recording label, Almo Sounds, is honoring Welch's many musical sensibilities by releasing the acoustic-based "Revival" first to public and college radio stations, then to Triple A "Americana" stations and finally to cutting-edge country stations.

	Jelly review: Gillian Welch
		Welch has said that these are "tiny rock songs," in spite of the fact that the setup is sparely acoustic, consisting of just Welch and her guitar or banjo, and Rawlings and his guitar.
		This is a fine album, not a masterpiece, but strong enough to suggest that Welch could give us one down the road a piece.
		The album was produced by Rawlings and recorded at historic RCA Studio B in Nashville (where Elvis, the Everly Brothers, and many others were recorded).

		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.

		Speaking on the phone from her home in Nashville, Gillian is as upbeat as her latest album, Soul Journey, a notable departure from the moody and often dark tone of her earlier recordings.
		Both humble and amused, Gillian doesn't take notice that Emmylou Harris is just "Emmy" in her stories or that performing at the Grand Ole Opry is just "the Opry." She can, however, appreciate the beauty of being stood up for dinner by Willie Nelson at a tiny fried chicken shack.
		Gillian sees this as further evidence of finding the Nashville she had dreamed of.

		Welch, in an interview for Billboard, said, "Part of what happened is that with Revival, I was trying to write very sparely and traditionally but sort of fell short.

		Welch's eerily expressive voice, flatpick guitar, and austere songwriting transport listeners to the Appalachian hills.
		Gillian Welch was born in Southern California, I think, but her voice sounds straight from the hollows of Appalachia -- believe me, because that's where I'm from and still live.
		Welch delivers well-developed stories within each song -- not thanks to long-windedness, but thanks to poetry that says a lot with very few words together with evocative music.

		I had never heard of Gillian Welch and David Rawlings before but a year later I have all her albums, seen her in concert and can not recommend her enough to those who have yet to hear her.
		Strictly speaking 'Gillian Welch' is a duo; a better title would be Welch and Rawlings; David Rawlings, her partner and co-writer has a wonderfly unique stlye of 'lead guitar'played on acoustic.

		LA girl Gillian Welch has created one of the most special and unique country records of the last 50 years in "Revival".
		Although Welch can be described as a proto-modernist whilst posturing as a traditionalist, any arguments about her intentions or classifcation go straight out the window- this superb record will challenge people (can you get through it without a bit of a weep??), entertain and sustain them for years to come.

		Gillian Welch's most ambitious work yet still stirs up ghosts of American music's rich heritage, but also reveals her conjuring some magic all her own.
		Welch is not celebrating fame or audacity...but passion, the very passion for music that has highlighted her as The Real Thing in an industry fraught with fakes.
		On Welch's previous albums she has reminded us of the heartland gospel sound of the Carter family and the ambition and attitude of a young Emmylou Harris.

		Gillian is a songwriter in every sense of the word.
		The sound of this album so perfectly portrays the poor, broken down farmhouses of the Bible Belt, where people are flat broke and the only hope they have left is their lord, Jesus.
		That said, Welch's debut, even with a couple of bland tracks, is about as good as records from Nashville come these days.

	Country Standard Time: CD Review Gillian Welch
		Welch's traditional instincts get wrapped up in new packaging in what makes a nice step forward in her overall career.
		At first blush, Gillian Welch's new record doesn't sound all that different from her previous two, dominated as it is by the simple, flat pine of Welch's voice melding with partner David Rawlings' distinctive guitar sound.
		The second installment of Gillian Welch's adventures in musical authenticity places less emphasis on gospel themes (and, coincidentally, on elaborate narratives) than 1996's "Revival," favoring instead a Southern Appalachian blues and dirge tradition whose roots have become altogether clearer to younger generations since the reissue of the "Anthology of American Folk Music" last year.

	Gillian Welch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		As Gillian Welch talks about her life, the path that led her from a sunny, Southern California childhood to a fascination with Appalachian murder ballads unfolds, it's clear that she was meant to play this style of music from the very beginning.
		Listening to her unadorned, acoustic second album, Hell Among the Yearlings (Almo), you can hear strains of an eight-year-old Welch wrapping her fingers around a guitar for the first time to learn Woody Guthrie songs, or the sound of a shy teenager strumming and singing quietly in her bedroom.
		Welch's early years may have been inauspicious, but once she and Rawlings began making the rounds at Nashville's ubiquitous songwriter showcases, it didn't take them long to get noticed.
