David Rawlings & Gillian Welch: Tiny Desk Concert

[MickeyMacaroney]

how come npr wont post this whole performance, but they made sure not to miss a minute of tom jones?

[aaralfnel]

@MickeyMacaroney good question... entire studio performance is uploaded, but viewable only through NPR's website. just search: tiny desk gillian. I'm not sure why they chopped it up here on YouTube.

My favorite song currently. Elegant, simple meody. Beautiful harmony. Great guitar playing. You can't ask for more from music. Just awesome.

[vargaso]

[FanTashlin]

David Rawlings is a genius artist.

[gpshaggin77]

These two compliment eachother in beautiful harmony

[arfurlife]

oooooo !! mellow ! i like it a lot. Super stuff guys.

[imaguseum]

They played this at the Ryman last week and it was soooo fine. I believe they could have played all night and no one would have moved. The Harrow and the Harvest is one of the best albums from first to last song I've heard in a long time. Rawlings is one of the best guitar players on the scene. Amazing these guys!!

Fantastic! These two are just sublime-- amazing- can't wait to see them in Belfast in a couple of weeks. European Music Awards? Pahhh! These two are the most important musical event in this city in November, with all due respect to Steve Earle and Alison Krauss, both of whom are also due to visit our fine city this month Good Lord- are we finally making in on to the musical itinery of these true stars? Yippee! We're not in the wilderness anymore!!!!!We exist!

[frostywildcat]

At the crossroads, the Devil was just about to take robert johnson's soul, and david rawlings snuck up, shanked ol' Johnson, and made the deal with the Devil. How he makes that old Epiphone sing that well is beyond me....

[crow2able]

When it comes to these two, words just won't say enough. They were born to play music together.

[happylilsunbeam]

[ThePhillyManCave]

[paulpogoda]

[medicinegone]

[rollingcan]

I keep coming back for more of their music.

[rollingcan]

I keep coming back for more of their music.

[jasonlammons]

Holy shit, these two could play in a box and it would sound like Taj Mahal!!

[taylormike710]

when you look up Harmony in the dictionary . it should have a picture of Gillian and david

[anaishatch]

This is a great song, off Dave Rawlings Machine album 'friend of a friend'.

[RestlessNoise]

what album is this from?

[MsHorrified]

Making beauty like that, how can they not be in love with each other?

[Melisshashy]

Who is the name of song? Anyone knows?

[Melisshashy]

@Melisshashy Q´ cuelgue! Its Ruby! I just remember now!

[navvynet]

just beautiful !

[Needs2Know]

wow that was great!

[SirPrufrock]

I love his guitar playing, but I don't dig the the whole Americana vibe. So conflicted. Much prefer the stuff Welch writes, but I listen to that to hear him play guitar. This is all very confusing.

[navvynet]

@SirPrufrock EH? all i know is the harmony is right the voice and music is fine and they are american yeah? american vibe thing i dont hear any conflict? just beautiful music that is sweet.

[rizdog2]

I am so glad to be living at the same time as these two; looking forward to growing old listening . . .

[TheCompleteGuitarist]

Ruby might let down her golden hair, but I'm never let down by these people.

[npcbass]

Lyrical and spellbinding! Two acoustic guitars, two superb, complimentary voices, singing in perfect time and harmony. Add one shotgun microphone, a decent mixer....magic.

[nosondre]

love

[Longlivehardcore]

29,000 views, what a shame. Should be at least 5million

[DWTish]

Gillian's the only woman I've ever seen make the "Little House On The Prairie" getup look hot..... And boy does she look hot!

[DWTish]

They can do no wrong..... Perfect

[CurtisMateer]

That tiny desk is able to produce a remarkable sound and mix. Good job.

[bosse641]

[johnniedig]
