I'm that old-time telegraph man
And I came here with a simple job to do
'Cause that news coming down the wire
Says that your world's on fire
And I'm trying to get a message through to you
I was extraordinarily pleased to learn the following from the UCSC News Center:
UC Santa Cruz alumna Gillian Welch (Porter ’90, fine arts) alongside her musical partner David Rawlings, clinched the Best Folk Album award at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards on Feb. 2 for their album Woodland. The album showcases their signature blend of Appalachian folk, bluegrass, and Americana.
I didn't know Welch when she was at UCSC, and I only found out about her, and Rawlings, when I ran across an NPR "Tiny Desk Concert" some time ago. I have written about their song, "Ruby," in an earlier blog posting. The lyrics are compelling, and meet this moment. Here's a replay. Enjoy!
For an in-person experience, you might want to make arrangements to see Welch and Rawlings when they appear in Montrerey on March 10th!
