This Is Nashville

Profile: Singer-songwriters Gillian Welch & David Rawlings

Listen Later

Despite how influential they’ve become, they’ve maintained an insular musical world, evolving in their own way and at their own pace. Today, Nashville Public Radio Senior Music writer Jewly Hight sits down with Welch and Rawlings for an intimate conversation about their musical influences, the beauty of embracing imperfection, and the career self-sufficiency they didn’t really want but intentionally cultivated.

This episode was produced by Jewly Hight and Mary Mancini.
