5 out of 5 stars Modern "Old-Time" and "New Grass" Meets the Blues.......2006-12-12

I heard of Gillian Welch through the "O Brother" movie and soundtrack (one of the "sirens"), and began to listen to cuts off some of her CDs. At first, I didn't listen to this one because her other CDs had higher ratings overall in the reviews. But, when I decided to listen, I was immediately hooked. I bought the CD and haven't been disappointed in the least. As a matter of fact, this one grows on me the more I hear it. Gillian has a "lazy" style on this that is perfect for those moody-weather days (or any others for that fact). She combines "old-time", "new grass" and "blues-flavor" in a modern, acoustic (except for one song) fashion that is addictive. I hope she does more work like this CD!

5 out of 5 stars New Favorite!!!!!!.......2006-05-22

I never new of Gillian Welch until I went to a concert in Berkeley,CA recently. She blew me away!!! This amazing vocalist and musician was by far one of the best I have ever heard. She brings so many emotions with her music.The instruments are soulfinding. Her voice is unbelievable. A must have for anyone who appreciates heartfelt, beautiful music.

5 out of 5 stars New Yorker Profile.......2005-08-11

There is a great profile of Welch and Rawlings in the New Yorker titled "The Ghostly Ones". Google "Gillian Welch" "New Yorker".

5 out of 5 stars Gillian Welch's Pinnacle Album.......2005-07-12

What do you get listening to a Gillian Welch recording? You get a collection of heartfelt, melodic, simple, and beautiful songs that range from melancholy to inspiring. Gillian Welch's sophomore album, Hell Among The Yearlings, has to be her best in my best opinion.

Welch teams up on most songs with her partner in crime, David Rawlings.. whom (if you've seen this guy, i'm sure you'll agree) is an absolute magician on the guitar. It is such a treat to see these two perform live (or on tv, like I've seen them). The two work so well together. As much as I love Gillian Welch's music, I have to credit David Rawlings for giving it that extra special touch.

Best tracks here include, in no special order, My Morphine, Good Til Now, Miner's Refrain, Winter's Come and Gone, and I'm Not Afraid to Die. Buy this cd, it is her best. Her last cd, Soul Journey, was a departure from her previous works, and is alright. But I definitely hope for something like "Yearlings" on her next effort.

5 out of 5 stars instant melancholia / addictive, haunting poetry and music.......2004-05-15

Welch's voice and Rawlings' guitar sound as intense, beneficent and honest as music can get. I enjoy an extremely addictive mixture here of haunting poetry and music that comes straight from the heart, in an American country/folklike-style that reverberates and finds refuge in my soul immediately. A music of 'instant melancholia', or, if I may borrow some of Welch's own beautiful lyrics here- a music that's like '(...) morphine' that 'will be the death of me'. Very impressive and highly recommended!
