​Gillian Welch, Dave Rawlings (from the album All the Good Times available on Acony Records)
Isolation is not easy on anyone BUT if you have a home studio and the confinement includes two folks that could find a melody in a windstorm, there is always something to do. Long-term musical partners Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings provide audio snapshots taken during quarantine with a collection of ten tracks recorded at home on the couple’s reel-to-reel tape deck, the recent release All the Good Times. A double win for Mr. Dylan when Dave Rawlings takes the lead vocals on Bob’s track “Senor”, from his Street Legal album, and “Abandoned Love”, from the release Biograph. Traditional tunes are offered on All the Good Times with Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings unearthing mountain music standards with the murder ballad in “Poor Ellen Smith” as they strum a reel with “Fly Around My Pretty Little Miss”.
 
Music is a mission for Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings, the musical output of the pair continually showing a dedication to their art as they cultivate and curate old time music for a modern era. Legendary Country songwriters get credits on All the Good Times, the album opening with Elizabeth Cotton’s “Oh Babe, It Ain’t No Lie”, re-introducing Norman Blake’s “Ginseng Sullivan”, and tenderly remembering John Prine with “Hello in There”. Musical mates Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings step into the shoes of another singing couple with Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash’s “Jackson” as irony shows All the Good Times an exit when Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings kindly offer “Y’All Come” during the isolation.
