Acony Bell - Gillian Welch.wmv

Gillian Welch's debut album has numerous treasures on it. "Revival", released in 93 and 2006 is a stellar cd. David Rawlings accompanies her, but the songs are kept sparse and in keeping with the mountain tradition. "Acony Bell" is about a small spring flower that blooms in the hills and mountains. All of her songs do not cover extremely important events as this song shows. I think this album is a perfect cd to go along with "The Songcatcher Soundtrack". It just flows. I hope you enjoy!

@rodthecod It sounds like it was a great concert! I think they do so well together. Their sound and playing compliment each other. They are much more light hearted at the concerts than I thought they would be. Thank you so very much for letting me know which Bristol, though I should have known! So glad to hear back from you & that you were able to catch them. My very best to you, Moppet (Barbara) p.s. My good wishes for you this holiday season also! :)

@MyMoppet52 - Yes. Bristol, England. She and Dave were fantastic. First time back in UK on tour in 7 years, I think, so I was delighted to see them.

Gillian introduced the song as being about "optimism" - and she had to explain she was serious (after the audience laughed) because she and Dave had been making great play about the downbeat nature of her songs.

@rodthecod Is this Bristol, England? Guess I should have looked before I hit 'reply'. I love this song. I was lucky enough to get to see her this summer. My first time. She didn't sing this song. I wish she had. I think it is perfect with the soundtrack from The Songcatcher, so I add it to my personal Songcatcher Playlist while listening to music. I am glad you got to see her. I hadn't been able to physically get to a concert in years. I was thrilled! I appreciate comments very much! Thanks.

@PMona1505 I am glad you enjoyed it! I think is is a lovely song. I had 1 thumbs up (mine) and one thumbs down a bit ago. It came out on utube as a 50% like rate. That bothered me. Not since it was my video but because it is such a nice song! I am glad a few more people have given it an "up". I appreciate your comment immensely. Thank you so much! My best, Moppet (Barbara)

She played this last night in Bristol. I'd forgotten what a beautiful song it is.
