What's the best Gillian Welch album?

Answer 1

She's fantastic, isn't she? I can't answer your question because she doesn't get airplay (IME) here in Scotland, the local records stores save one are lame, boring and corporate, and I've only been able to find one album in the library. That one is Soul Journey and I really like it. Enough that I'll probably just start ordering her back catalogue. :-) Few artists are worth that.

If you're keen on Gilian Welch, have you heard Chris Smither? (www.smither.com I think) I was fortunate enough to live about two hours west of his haunts for a decade.
