The Harrow - The Harrow album flac

The Harrow & The Harvest is a 2011 album released by American musician Gillian Welch. It was Welch's first album in eight years and was released on June 28, 2011. The album was nominated for Best Folk Album for the 54th Grammy Awards. The eight years since the release of 2003's Soul Journey marked the longest period of time between album releases for Welch

The album illustrates a near-symbiotic guitar interplay; rhythms, melodies, and even countermelodies are exchanged organically, interlocked in the moment. The protagonists in these ten songs are desperate, broken, and hurt individuals; some stubbornly cling to shreds of hope while others resign themselves to tragedy even as they go on; still others, like the one in the opener "Scarlet Town," reflect anger and the wish for vengeance. What they hold in common is their need to tell their stories through Welch's plaintive contralto.

On her fifth album – and first since 2003 – the moment comes on Silver Dagger, which borrows the title and bloodlust of a traditional ballad popularized by Joan Baez in 1960, but it gets wistful about the good old days of nineteen-hundred and ninety-nine. Welch’s partner, David Rawlings, stepping back from his nominal star turn with Dave Rawlings Machine, continues as America’s most low-key guitar hero; his sparkling lines and harmonies cling to Welch’s rich vocals (which infused the Decemberists‘ recent The King Is Dead) like smoke plumes.

The Harrow & the Harvest is stunning for its intimacy, its lack of studio artifice, its warmth and its timeless, if hard won, songcraft. Those who criticize this album its minimalism and simplicity just don't get it. Welch and Rawlings have tapped into a rich vein of pastoral Americana roots that is almost NECESSARILY minimalist. The Harrow & The Harvest' is a brilliant amalgamation of beautifully fragile melodies, astutely sparse acoustic instrumentation and some of the best harmonies around. 0 of 0 users found this helpful.
