Hard Times

Just downloaded the free song of the week from Starbucks... Gillian Welch's single "Hard Times" from her new album The Harrow & The Harvest. She's been silent for eight years, but was clearly not wasting away!

This looks to be a very promising record. Even the album artwork is compelling! Sometimes when artists try to reinvent themselves they flounder and churn out garbage. This album does not fit that profile!

Introspective, patient and rootsy. This album adheres to her traditional roots, but fits right into the modern Americana movement. Did I mention she has a great voice? Good stuff!
