SOUL JOURNEY, the follow-up to the critically acclaimed 2001 outing TIME (THE REVELATOR), finds Gillian Welch and creative partner David Rawlings getting creatively looser and enlisting the aid of a back-up band. The decision to flesh out the sound beyond the duo format (as had been the case on the past couple of albums), ends up being a successful one. The result is a blend of traditional songs such as "Make Me a Pallet on Your Floor" with self-penned cuts like the haunting "One Monkey" and the cantering "Lowlands." The languid aura infusing most of these 10 songs gets blown away with "Wrecking Ball," a meaty-sounding original tune that not only borrows its title from a Neil Young song, but offers a combination of gnarly guitar and sonic build-up that seems like a hat-tip to Crazy Horse.
Soul Journey, Gillian Welch's fourth album, features solo, duo and band performances - a departure from the 2001 release Time (The Revelator). Contributors to the album include Greg Leisz (Beck, K.D. Lang ) and Jim Boquist (Son Volt). Produced by long-time collaborator David Rawlings. Acony. 2003.

REVIVAL was nominated for a 1997 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album.
The debut album by Gillian Welch is aptly titled. In an alt-country scene primarily focused on adapting the sound and feeling of old-time traditional country to its own ends, this singer-songwriter, along with her ever-present musical partner ...

TIME (tHE REVELATOR) was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album.
Displaying a remarkable consistency of vision, Gillian Welch sticks to her guns on her third album, by limiting the sonic palette to the twin acoustic guitars and vocals of herself and partner David Rawlings (and a touch of banjo). With all the hip cred she's built up, especially with her work on the O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU soundtrack, this might have been her big pop move, but Welch plays it admirably straight on TIME (THE REVELATOR). While the melodies and lyrics here do occasionally stretch the boundaries of her willfully anachronistic folk/country style ...

Soul Journey songs
$15.29
The body of work of Mnemonists is being reissued at a crawl. Years after ReR Megacorp's remastering of the seminal LP Horde, here comes another fascinating artifact of post-industrial sound art. Gyromancy was recorded in the summer of 1983 by a lineup consisting of Amy and Mark Derbyshire, Karen Nakai, Mark Piersel, Steve Scholbe, and WiIliam Sharp. It came out in 1984. To the two original side-long title tracks, the 2004 ReR CD reissue adds two shorter pieces recorded shortly after the Gyromancy sessions and originally released on promotional singles and the RR/Re 7th Anniversary 7" box set. While Horde was a heavily mutated form of industrial music, Gyromancy takes a much darker and ambient form. Its amazing features are less in your face and require deeper listening. The first 20-minute piece ...
| | Bruce Springsteen Devils & Dust CD (2005) DualDisc
Soul Journey album
$15.15
This is a DualDisc, which contains a CD on one side of the disc and a DVD on the other.
In much the same way that he followed the full-on assault of THE RIVER with the scaled-down, folk-based NEBRASKA, some two-and-a-half decades later, Bruce Springsteen made another stylistic about-face. In stark contrast to its predecessor, 2002's uplifting, epic-scale rocker THE RISING, DEVILS & DUST is a spare, quiet, acoustic-oriented album full of shadows and whispers.
Where THE RISING, a direct response to the tragedy of 9/11, rallied the spirit with impassioned ...
