David Rawlings Poor David's Almanack

Mastered for Vinyl Direct from the Analog Tapes by Gillian Welch and David Rawlings on their Own Custom-Built VMS 80 Lathe with Ortofon Amplifiers!

Guitar man David Rawlings leaves the Machine moniker behind for his third album, Poor David's Almanack, a wry mixture of acoustic and electric performances rich in ageless American vernacular. Gloriously captured on analog tape by studio wizards Ken Scott and Matt Andrews, the 10 songs took shape in a rollicking weeklong session at Woodland Sound Studios in Nashville, TN where Rawlings and longtime compatriot Gillian Welch joined together with Willie Watson, Paul Kowert, Brittany Haas, Ketch Secor, and Taylor and Griffin Goldsmith to produce an album for all seasons. Mastered for vinyl direct from the analog tapes by Gillian Welch and David Rawlings on their own custom-built VMS 80 lathe with Ortofon amplifiers, this pressing of Poor David's Almanack is the first new album on Acony to come out on vinyl simultaneously. With artwork and illustrations by Welch, the package will include an old-style tip-on jacket printed on special paper and a printed sleeve.
