Welch, Rawlings create "Hashtag"

Friday, August 9, 2024 – Gillian Welch and David Rawlings shared their new song "Hashtag" from their 10th studio album, "Woodland," due on Aug. 23 on their Aucony Records label.

Welch said, "We wrote 'Hashtag' for Guy Clark. Guy taught us what it was like on the road. He took us out opening for him all over the states, to our first shows in Texas, Oklahoma, California and South Carolina. He showed us the parallel universe of the troubadour."

The song follows the album's first single "Empty Trainload Of Sky."

The duo also announced additional tour dates in Philadelphia, Baltimore and more. More dates will be announced.

"Woodland," which has 10 songs, combines full band tracks with duet performances. The disc is their first album since 2020's "All the Good Times", a collection of covers and classic folk songs which earned the duo the 2021 GRAMMY Award for Best Folk Album. That was their first album of new original music since 2017's "Poor David's Almanack."

His work with Gillian Welch, the creative yin to Rawlings' yang, has been recognized with Grammy nominations and a variety of awards from various sources, but the adoration emanating from the pair's slavishly loyal fan base is the best indicator of their success over the past two decades. The thing is that for the majority ...
CD review - Boots No. 1: The Official Revival Bootleg Gillian Welch's album "Revival" was a revelation. The fact that T Bone Burnett - the ultimate roots rock curator - produced it, gave good reason to give it immediate attention, and insightful songs like "Barroom Girls" and "By the Mark" cemented the news that Welch was truly something special. With "Boots No. 1: The Official Revival Bootleg," Welch has expanded the original 10-track album into a 21-song opus. And while this extensive collection of ...
