Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
On her remarkable debut, Revival, Gillian Welch sang of men and women who were intimately tied to others, even as they mourned dead children or lost homes. Hell Among the Yearlings finds Welch in even darker territory. In this world, loss can't be assuaged by human connection because there is none: morphine junkies, dying hobos, and alienated workers stand utterly alone in a sparse landscape where hope comes, if at all, in merely surviving. For example, the woman who kills her rapist or the singer who unconvincingly declares her troubles have flown because "Winter's Come and Gone". Appropriately, Welch's stunning voice goes it alone, surrounded by little more than her own banjo and the spare old- time and country-blues guitar of partner David Rawlings. --David Cantwell
CD Description
Gillian Welch lends her wise-beyond-her-years sensibility to a further exploration of the traditional music of early 20th century Appalachia, returning to the territory of 1996's REVIVAL. With the exception of the up-tempo, rockabilly-influenced "Honey Now", the songs on HELL AMONG THE YEARLINGS sound so old-timey as to seem almost archival. T-Bone Burnett returns as producer, again making restraint and austerity work well with Welch's starkly beautiful songs, like the melancholic "My Morphine" and the desolate tragedy "One Morning",narrated with quiet poignancy by a dying man's mother. Welch's voice itself, harmonising with acoustic guitars and banjo, has a gentle, twangy simplicity which speaks of another age.
