The Harrow & The Harvest by Gillian Welch

This is one of the most defiantly traditional, non-radical and deceptively simple albums in recent memory.

The Harrow & The Harvest is simply one of the richest, most expansive roots albums to be released in some time.

High lonesome harmonies, beautifully judged musicianship, exquisite songcraft, and a relationship with tradition that is both serious and playful.

A fully conceived album of beautifully crafted songs, and a real treat for fans and newcomers alike.
