What I Like To Hear

From Paste's Interview with David Rawlings, Gillian Welch's partner in crime and music:

Paste: Can you tell me anything about an upcoming Gillian Welch record?
Rawlings: I can tell you that it is we’ve started recording some stuff, and that I’m excited about what we’ve recorded. Someone else just asked me when Gillian’s record will be released, and I think the answer is, on the happiest day of my life.

Paste: Have you been playing any of the new songs live?
Rawlings: There’s a song on my record called “It’s Too Easy” that has fiddle and is done in an old-time style, and there is a version of that that’s more of a minor, moody style, that’s going to be on Gillian’s record. We’ve been playing that live, and then there’s an older song called—well, I don’t know what it’s going to be called, honestly—some people call it “Throw Me a Rope,” some people call it “The Way It Will Be,” that we’ve played live for a long time and will be on the record.

Yes! I love It's Too Easy and Throw Me A Rope. I really need to get DR's album to help me get through these dark days until GW's new album. That will be the happiest day of my life.
