Review:
Still a gem
Time (The Revelator) is still an outstanding album, I think. Gillian
Welch has been in the top rank of country singer-songwriters for
decades now and this album shows why. The songs are excellent, with
thoughtful, intelligent and slightly quirky lyrics and are involving
and tuneful from the stunningly powerful Elvis Presley Blues to the
slightly jaunty Red Clay Halo. Welch’s voice is wonderfully
distinctive and haunting, there’s some great guitar work and the
whole thing is a gem.
Not many albums last
this well for almost twenty years; this one has, and I can recommend
it very warmly.
