Free Music Notes for Time (The Revelator)
Free Music Review: Dangerously wonderful-
Hit: 5 Stars
This album is just...transcendent. I'm still profoundly affected by it after nearly five years' owning the disc. Truly enough, Gillian Welch's other albums feature what might be labeled a greater "variety" of song styles, and they deserve repeated listening as well, but "Time (the Revelator)" stands alone. I love it, and dearly, precisely because of its unique, hypnotic tone and pacing. Altcountry it isn't, and this is key; Welch and her facile, idiosyncratic guitarist David Rawlings succeed in the creation of an economical yet expansive acoustic sound-world, at once spare and sophisticated, and very beautiful. A pure, resigned sadness emanates from somewhere inside most of these haunting songs; never gratuitous, but so connected to real life in its truth-telling. Other selections leave one with a sense of the death of the real USA. The vocal harmonies and string playing are innovative, always serving the mood. I don't need to ferret out every arcane reference in the lyrics, or to "get the message," I simply adore this stuff. It's a new kind of music. Let it happen to you.
Time (The Revelator) Poster
The considerable promise carried forth on Gillian Welch's first two albums is thoroughly fulfilled on Time (The Revelator). Welch has traded the guidance of her previous producer, T Bone Burnett, for the sympathetic studio skills of her longtime guitarist-harmony singer David Rawlings, who loosens the reins just enough to allow moments of spontaneity to sparkle within the duo's spare, eloquent playing. "Revelator" is an instant classic, perhaps the first great folk song of the 21st century. "I Want to Sing That Rock and Roll" is three minutes of Louvins/Everlys-style bliss. "April the 14th, Part 1" haunts its historical context with an achingly melancholy melody. It all leads up to the epic 14-minute "I Dream a Highway," one of the finest closing tracks ever put on record. --Peter BlackstockGrammy-nominated artist Gillian Welch has created some of her most passionate works on her 3rd release. This 10 song CD was produced by songwriting partner David Rawlings and was recorded in the historic RCA Studio B in Nashville, features the hauntingly ethereal 'Revelator'as it's lead track as well as a live performance of 'I Want To Sing That Rock And Roll.' 10 tracks. Acony Records. 2001.
