Gillian Welch - Hard Times

[Canoe571]

jjreid87, yes, it is a clawhammer style. It's a bit different in that she varies the rythm from what you usually hear in a clawhammer tune.

Does anyone know what venue this is and if this video is available for purchase?

[Elrond54]

@mrbippy Based on the set design, lighting, and shooting method, I'd say there's a pretty good chance that it's the set of the t.v. program, Austin City Limits.

Timeless.

The audio is off? Yes, the song of my hour.

[jjreid87]

So would that be a claw hammer style of playing then?

[GREVIOUSANGEL2]

Perfect. All that needs to be said.

I'm glad that someone is still writing poetry! A skillfully composed and heart-rendingly beautiful song. 

[LeahRayMendez]

This is one of my very favorite songs. So soulful and bittersweet.

[jasonbass1962]

what a beauty of a song and what a soulful performance. You won't find a duo any fuller!

[daimonionen]

It's even better live! Just fantastic!

[MsPear101]

Its so rare to find a song that is so obviously a classic so close to its creation.

[AriesRocker68]

Best song of 2011.

[thomasburn]

@AriesRocker68 yep.

[davekelly1957]

@AriesRocker68 I agree entirely. Gives me goose-pimples every listen. Sublime.
