About Gillian Welch & David Rawlings play Grateful Dead Acoustic Reckoning
Gillian Welch and David Rawlings met as students at Berklee College of Music in Boston and have worked as a pair ever since, based in Nashville. Their records come out under either name, on their own Acony label, and the line-up rarely changes: Welch on rhythm guitar or banjo, Rawlings on a small vintage archtop, two voices locked in close harmony. Their debut, Revival, was produced by T Bone Burnett, and Welch later appeared on the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack.
Grateful Dead Acoustic Reckoning applies that same spare setup to the Dead's catalogue. The duo strip the songs back to melody, words and Rawlings' angular lead lines, closer to the old-time and folk material the Dead themselves drew on.
