String band of two possesses surprising versatility.

  • We Say...

    It may seem a stretch to classify a duo as a string band, but Gillian Welch & David Rawlings clearly warrant an exception. Though their instrumentation never really goes beyond just two guitars, Rawlings' remarkable range on his resophonic-styled 1935 Epiphone allows the duo surprising versatility. The blend of their voices brings rarefied beauty to covers of songs by Bob Dylan and Neil Young on this excellent sampler of audio tracks taken from a live DVD release. The originals are highlighted by "Revelator," punctuated by Rawlings solos that would be the envy of just about any other string-band musician.
