Gillian Welch and David Rawlings announce their tenth studio album, Woodland
Gillian Welch and David Rawlings have announced the release of their tenth studio album, Woodland, alongside the new single, “Empty Trainload Of Sky”.
Woodland was named for and recorded at Welch and Rawlings' own Woodland Sound Studios in Nashville, TN. Of the album and studio they said, “Woodland is at the heart of everything we do, and has been for the last twenty some years. The past four years were spent almost entirely within its walls, bringing it back to life after the 2020 tornado and making this record. The music is (songs are) a swirl of contradictions, emptiness, fullness, joy, grief, destruction, permanence. Now.”
Woodland is their first album since 2020’s All the Good Times, a collection of covers and classic folk songs which earned the duo the 2021 GRAMMY Award for Best Folk Album, and their first album of new original music since 2017’s Poor David’s Almanack.
