 Great Listen August 10, 2010
Wanda Evans (tucson)
Saw the Machine with Gillian Welsh locally with the Prairie Home Companion broadcast - really enjoyed the music and the show.
Absolutely Fantastic! August 2, 2010
Jed Luhmann
The harmonies on this record are absolutely fantastic and among the best you will ever hear!
Great sound, see them live if you can April 14, 2010
C. Hill
Saw DRM at the Ryman with Prairie Home Companion and they were fantastic! I just got their album and while nothing beats a live sound, this album is also magnificent.
They could fall into a lot of categories: Country (non-pop), Bluegrass, Newgrass, or Folk (it would be a stretch, but possible). It just depends on where you're coming from. No matter where you hail, they deserve a listen, and I'm sure you'll discover their uniqueness like I did.
My favorites on this album is I Hear Them All, and To Be Young. Both remind me of OCMS a little. But that's just because I found OCMS first. ;)
 pretty folky March 24, 2010
A. Molica (Michigan)
Not Old crow but ok. Its almost acoustic at times. buy it after you own the the OCMS.
Refreshing, earthy - just a great CD. March 21, 2010
A. Boyd (Boston MA)
Imagine an acoustic/folky, Appalachian-flavored Ryan Adams - hell, he even covers an Adams tune, "To Be Young (Is To Be Sad, Is To Be High." Turns out I'm an idiot - Rawlings not only co-wrote the song but appears on that recording as well as the entire Ryan Adams recording Heartbreaker. The songs here are infectious, alternating between serious folk tunes and Appalachian folk songs, and Gillian Welch's support on harmonies is outstanding. "Method Acting / Cortez The Killer" is mesmerizing - LOVE the Neil Young cover, and Rawlings channels the spirit of The Band in "Ruby." Finally, the cover of "Monkey and the Engineer" is reminiscent of The Dead's version on Reckoning. Looking forward to more from Rawlings.
GENRES: Contemporary Folk, Mellow Rock.
BUY IF YOU LIKE: The Band, Poco, The Jayhawks, Ryan Adams.
MUST HEAR TRACKS: "Ruby," "I Hear Them All," "Method Acting / Cortez The Killer," "Sweet Tooth," Bells of Harlem."
