The title - The Harrow & the Harvest, Gillian Welch's first album of new material in eight years - reflects a creative drought: she and David Rawlings simply weren't writing songs they liked. The music is steeped in the early country, bluegrass, and Appalachian mountain traditions that are her trademark -though it engages rock and roll and blues motifs albeit acoustically-while the melodies and lyrics reflect the darkness and melancholy of Gothic Americana.

Gillian Howard Welch (/ˈɡɪliən ˈwɛltʃ/; born October 2, 1967) is an American singer-songwriter. She performs with her musical partner, guitarist David Rawlings. Their sparse and dark musical style, which combines elements of Appalachian music, bluegrass, country and Americana, is described by The New Yorker as "at once innovative and obliquely reminiscent of past rural forms.

The title - The Harrow & the Harvest, Gillian Welch's first album of new material in eight years - reflects a creative drought: she and David Rawlings simply weren't writing songs they liked. And they have been rewarded by a soulful, dark, lyrical album that touches on familiar themes – temptation, tragedy and loss.

Album · 2011 · 10 Songs. Her throaty contralto leaves us breathless on one inspired track after another. Gritty tunes like the down-and-dirty bluegrass number "Scarlet Town" feel like portals into another time and place, while sultry ballads like "Dark Turn of Mind" combine traditional blues structures with delicate, country-style harmonies, reminding us that Ms. Welch can't be categorized-she's simply one of a kind.
