It doesn't hurt that Gillian's raw-boned look seems straight out of Walker Evan's photos taken in the South during the Great Depression. I don't think "affectation" applies in their music anymore, if it ever did. They've taken an existing style and expanded on it. I'm a helpless fan. They knock me out. Riley Stokes

White gold not white trash.....

People are constantly calling me Gillian pronounced with a hard G..... :( Someone even called me Gilligan. It was super embarrassing.

A rather late entry into the fray here, but here it goes. Gillian Welch is an adopted child. She has experienced priviledge, but knowing how adopted kids think, never really felt fully accepted, but rather, apart.
Listen to the lyrics. She identifies with this song. She is always searching for her true voice, be that glam band or leftwing bluegrasser. Think before you dismiss.

Does the OP even know what "white trash" is? It refers to filthy style of living, nastiness, prejudice, extreme poverty, illiteracy and usually a lack of teeth. Rawlins is incredible, as is Gillian.

Gillian is from a show biz family in LA and went to UC Santa Cruz. Both she and David went to Berklee School of Music. She is hardly "white trash", but rather a sophisticated officianado and interpreter of American roots music. Her hillbillyness is an affectation she has integrated into persona probably as an homage to that genre and from living in Nashville for some time.
