A lovely set from Gillian Welch and husband David Rawlings from Big O the other day I haven't stopped listening to this for the past few hours. Whilst some are critical it seems of the duo's lack of original material and that one set sounds much like another, I still never tire of listening to them

GILLIAN WELCH

& David Rawlings




As Big O notes:
Live at the Hoyt Sherman Auditorium, Des Moines, Iowa; August 12, 2007. Fairly to very good soundboard. 
At the 2019 Academy Awards, Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings performed their Oscar-nominated song, When a Cowboy Trades His Spurs for Wings, from the Coen Brothers’ Western anthology The Ballad of Busters Scruggs. The Oscar went to Lady Gaga’s Shallow, from A Star Is Born.
That aside, here’s a recording of Gil and Dave’s first visit to Des Moines.
