Gillian Welch Lyrics


"I heard an old radio recording of the Stanley Brothers,
from the dark days when rock and roll was just killin’ ’em,
around 1957-58, " recalls Gillian Welch, getting around to
the bittersweet origins of the song that is the centerpiece

Reviews about Gillian Welch songs

I'm pretty sure that in second line of the verse that starts, "Black highway all night ride..." it's not "times," but "tines" that "fall away by the side." Tines are the vertical posts holding up guide rails or fences along a highway.

Listen closely. It's an "n" not an "m". And the idea fits the context.

Gillian Welch gets me like no other.

Thanks for the lyrics.

    ------ About the song Caleb Meyer performed by Gillian Welch

I love the haunting sound of the music. It's hard to get it out of my head. The lyrics are so gruesome. Does anyone know the story behind this song? I assume it is based on an actual event or a folktale.

    ------ About the song Wind and Rain performed by Gillian Welch

what a haunting and archetypal song. straight out of old european mythology. my favorite version has to be the the live one by David Grisman and J.G., though, still brings a tear to my eye when I hear it.

Hypnotic and seductive, yet intruiging | Reviewer: mtnwomanbc
    ------ About the song I Dream A Highway performed by Gillian Welch

I just cannot get enough of this 14 minute calming yet edgy mantra for the ears. Maybe that's why I keep listening to the lyrics when the music alone would send me into a very nice space.

I have heard this song only twice on the Direct Tv Bluegrass Junction Channel and just love the music and melody.

I am also a song writer and your song made me feel good.I have promised myself your CD as a gift to myself soon.

Thank you Gillian, for another hit.
