The Harrow & The Harvest by Gillian Welch
The Harrow & The Harvest is an album by Gillian Welch, released in 2011. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 10 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “The Way it Goes”, on 10 lists with a best position of #19.
The Harrow & the Harvest, released on 28 June 2011, ended an eight-year silence from Gillian Welch, and it sounds like it was worth every one of those years. David Rawlings, her partner in song and on guitar, produced it, and the two of them keep things spare and dark: old Appalachian and bluegrass bones, blues creeping in at the edges.
After the fuller, drums-and-electric-guitar sound of Soul Journey, the hush here feels like the whole point. "The Way It Goes" is the track that made the countdowns. The album earned Welch another Grammy nomination.
