    Season 2 - Episode 4 - Gillian Welch - Elvis Presley Blues
    2024/03/13

    I've been pondering the business of podcasting, production etc. this last while. And reading JD Salinger. Life's busy. So that's taking up some of my thoughts, but the main thing is to take a rundown of the prodigious output of Gillian Welch & David Rawlings, at least up to her / their superb 2011 album, The Harrow & The Harvest. This month's show gets into that. You like it? - please Share far and wide!

    2023/04/18
    Please listen, and then Like, Share, Favourite, Follow and Subscribe this episode to bits! I'd like to get this out to so many more people than are already with us on this trip. Lucinda Williams is something of an outlier - known and loved by music fans across the spectrum, and respected by her peers throughout music, but seemingly not yet occupying the pantheon of great artists after 50 years in the business and 45 of those at the top of her game - or is she? This is the first part of a trawl through her greatest work, and I'm loving it. Let me know what you think on the "Country - What It Is" page on Facebook, @countrywhatitis on Twitter, and please give us a review wherever you listen to good podcasts.
