Review

Mojo (1/02, p.69) - Ranked #4 in Mojo's "Best [40] Albums of 2001".
Rolling Stone (8/16/01, pp.102,105) - 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...Gorgeous reinventions of Appalachian sounds, old Anglo influences and haunting themes of remorse and redemption....Welch's voice is slow and forgiving, like molasses..."
Q (11/01, p.130) - 4 out of 5 stars - "...Eerily compelling..."
Mojo (11/01, p.102) - "...A profoundly good record..."
Magnet (12-1/02, p.111) - "...The finest folk composition of the 'nuovo secolo'...a rare combination of delivery, storyline and 'melodia'..."
Uncut (11/01, p.124) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Stripped-down, honest and raw....It's another understated gem, full of old-fashioned waltzes slowed down to a heartbeat and mournful back-porch ballads of home-spun wisdom..."
CMJ (8/4/01, p.4) - "...A classic for today and any other day..."

Product note

Recorded at RCA Studio B and the Ryman Auditorium, Nashville, Tennessee.
TIME (tHE REVELATOR) was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album.
Displaying a remarkable consistency of vision, Gillian Welch sticks to her guns on her third album, by limiting the sonic palette to the twin acoustic guitars and vocals of herself and partner David Rawlings (and a touch of banjo). With all the hip cred she's built up, especially with her work on the O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU soundtrack, this might have been her big pop move, but Welch plays it admirably straight on TIME (THE REVELATOR). While the melodies and lyrics here do occasionally stretch the boundaries of her willfully anachronistic folk/country style a little, this an even moodier, more intense recording than Welch's previous two. There's a hazy, dreamlike feel to "Revelator," "Dear Someone," and especially the 14-minute, Dylanesque closer "I Dream a Highway," somewhat akin to the plaints of Lucinda Williams's contemporaneous ESSENCE album. Brief respites from all the serious brow-knitting are provided by the ironic, recorded-live "I Want to Sing That Rock and Roll" and the straight-up homage "Elvis Presley Blues," but ultimately this is a dark, murky (and rewarding) trip.

Album Description

Third album from this 'new bluegrass' artist who acted as producer for the Coen Brothers 'O Brother Where Art Thou' soundtrack as well as contributing to Ryan Adams first solo album 'Heartbreaker'. 'Time (The Revelator)' displays a stronger blues and gospel influence than her previous outings. Also features her long time musical partner David Rawlings.
