There are many adjectives I could use to describe Gillian Welch and David Rawlings' performance Friday night at the Tower Theatre. Magical, transcendent, exhilarating, captivating or stunning.

Its not the most chipper record; If you think it starts out bad, just wait, said the singer of 2011's The Harrow and the Harvest.

She apologized many times for the utter unhappiness expressed through this album's songs, admitting it's "not the most chipper album" at one point.

It's been more than 11 years since the last but this time they are making the most of it, playing one set of shows as a duo in her name and then another the following week as the quintet Dave Rawlings Machine.

Apparently it had been a long time coming – the duo managed to completely sell out Her Majesty’s Theatre.
