Ten years ago today (6/28/11), Gillian Welch released the spirited The Harrow & The Harvest, her first album in eight years, and the last one under her own name: 2020 saw the release of All the Good Times (Are Past & Gone) with musical partner David Rawlings. With an enchanting solemnity and instruments that manage to convey a vast spread of emotions and rhythms, The Harrow is both nostalgic and introspective. The album was nominated for Best Folk Album for the 54th Grammy Awards. Check out “Scarlet Town” off the LP..
