CD (Acony)
Longtime musical partner of Gillian Welch, Dave Rawlings stepped up with a bright spark at the end of 2009. A Friend Of A Friend was recorded in Nashville & continues along the musical lineage that Rawlings is best known for; old-timey folk, country & bluegrass, executed with brilliant musicianship. Having contributed work/production to Bright Eyes, Old Crow Medicine Show & of course Gillian Welch, Rawlings is a pillar in the true-grass roots scene that has nurtured so many of his cohorts & this record is a testament to his ability to bring all these elements together for a coherent album. Be sure to check the amazing 10 minute epic “Method Acting/Cortez The Killer”, a tune that beautifully bridges Bright Eyes & Neil Young. Gillian Welch features on half of the album’s cuts.
