Dave Rawlings Machine

Mavis Diles's picture

I'm really enjoying Dave Rawlings' solo debut Friend of a Friend. He's best known as Gillian Welch's sideman/partner, but he's delivered a really solid rootsy bluegrass record here. This clip illustrates his idiosyncratic guitar style, full of on-purpose accidentals (!) :


I'm sure there are other fans on here, but am surprised that the record hasn't received much attention, despite being on the banner advert for a while and having the required beard.

It's On My christmas List

The last track on the cd

Bells of Harlem would have been in my list of 5 best songs of the year if I had heard it before submitting my entry to the magazine.
Great cd and I agree it has not been properly marketed.

a slow burner

I don't think they are in a hurry to get into the top ten or anything. I do think that this album will grow in reputation over time though.
