American singer-songwriter Gillian Welch was born in New York City. As in this clip, Welch is often seen with musical partner David Rawlings. They co-write songs and play on each others records. She appears on several songs on the soundtrack to O’ Brother Where Art Thou? Also she and David Rawlings collaborate a lot with American singer Ryan Adams (she appears as guitarist and back-up singer on Heartbreaker and Demolition). I realise now I could make this list of collaboration partners longer. She appears on a lot of artist’s records (a friend of my gave me a tip that she’ll be on The Decemberist’s upcoming album). It was only when I started to listen to her music for real that I started hearing her voice on other albums as well (such as Heartbreaker and Demolition for example). That is one of the reasons she’s cool. She stays in the background setting the mood of the songs with her soft voice. Another reason she’s cool is the fact that she seems very cool and down to earth.
