Gillian Welch & David Rawlings - All The Good Times

ACONY RECORDS

After a devastating tornado ravaged Nashville in the Spring of 2020 making their studio unusable, immediately followed by a global pandemic shutting down their community and touring livelihood, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings were able to find the inspiration to set up recording equipment in their home living room and record ten performances on their reel-to-reel of some of their favourite songs from the likes of John Prine ('Hello In There'), Bob Dylan ('Abandoned Love'), Norman Blake ('Ginseng Sullivan'), and more.

All The Good Times is the first Welch/Rawlings collaboration to feature both of their names on the cover, and received a 2021 Grammy nomination for Best Folk Album. Originally released in July 2020 as a surprise treat for fans, the limited edition handmade CD and LP first pressings sold out in 48 hours, and never made it to shops. This new reissue has revised art and packaging, including new photographs.

“ The 10-song collection is the equivalent of being welcomed into Welch and Rawlings’ living room and the pair treating you to a private recital. In other words, it doesn’t get much better than this” - Uncut Magazine

“... modern masters of American folk” - Pitchfork

Last Of The Better Days Ahead by Charlie Parr on Smithsonian Folkways Recordings (the album artwork is an illustration by Abe Partridge depicting Charlie Parr with a melting candle on their head, flowers growing from their tongue, and a devil wearing pyjamas on their shoulder, in front of a landscape with a burning tree, snakes on the ground and a large moon circling his head; it's not as religious-looking as it sounds though).

Ginko by Joan Shelley on No Quarter Records (the sleeve artwork is a colour photograph of Joan Shelley, over-exposed and awash with sunlight through a window. In the photograph Shelley is seen in profile, looking down next to some recording equipment with a small vase a flowers atop them; Shelley's long blond hair is tucked behind her ear; there is no text on the front of the sleeve).
