I saw Gillian and David at The Sons of Hermann Hall in Dallas way back in the 90s when they opened for Guy Clark. Before the show, I went to the restroom and a young man was there shaving. Turned out to be Rawlings but I didn't know it at the time.
Their opening knocked out the small crowd (room only holds about 75) with songs from their first album...Clark turned in his usual stellar show. It was a night to remember.

My new favorite duet. Heard them on NPR and was hooked. Their perfromance with The Old Crow Medicine Show was also amazing. Am now a fan of that band, too. Pure acoustic music with great harmonies. Early in my music career, I played some of this style. It may be time to return...

Thank the Lord that not all musicians want to sell out to the bright lights of fame and stardom. Gillian and Dave have become huge artists by NOT selling out. Fantastic talent.
