Gillian Welch - "Soul Journey"

I first heard Gillian Welch on the soundtrack to the movie "O Brother, Where Art Thou?". She sings old timey music with a sparse, haunting style. I found this album a few weeks ago looking for something to get Collyn for her birthday. The album is outstanding. It includes a version of "Make Me a Pallet On Your Floor" a song I associate with Mississippi John Hurt, though I think it's an old traditional tune. I find myself with several of the songs stuck in my head, notably "Lowlands". Take a listen to the album on Amazon.
