Red Clay Halo

Any excuse to play Gillian Welch. This one appeared on my "recommended" list when I logged on to YouTube just now in search of Friday morning inspiration, so...OK then, that'll do nicely:

Another reason: she's just won the 'Artist Of The Year' award at the 2012 Americana Honors & Awards in Nashville. Partner David Rawlings won  'Instrumentalist Of The Year'.

The song's from Time (The Revelator) - her last but one album. From a BBC broadcast filmed at the LSO's St Luke's on Old Street; posted on YouTube in May 2007.

Wonderful playing from Rawlings - when he slips that capo on at around 1:52....
