Gillian Welch's 1996 Grammy nominated debut release, gets a welcome and long awaited re-issue.

Produced by T-Bone Burnett, this was the album that introduced the world to Gillian's stripped-down, honest and raw music, deeply rooted in the timelesstraditions of rural America and sung in her remarkable keening voice.Gillian writes with what at first seems to be childlike simplicity, but on closer listening, you realize you are in the presence of an old soul, one who knows the blue highway of the heart.

It is a gift to all of us who need music to be more than just background noise.
