Some people never slow down. BOOTS NO. 2: THE LOST SONGS is the second release of archival music from the vault of @gillianwelch and @thedaverawlings . This remarkable 48 song collection will be spread over three volumes. Volume One will be released digitally on 7/31. Listen to two new songs now and preorder.
It would be great if after the 3 are released digitally they could put them out as a 3 CD set or even on vinyl.
ooh - i will be abdolutely broken hearted if this doesn't come out on silver disc. the presentation for volume 1 was so classy, i've long waited for a colume 2 in a similar vein... smitquest
Apparently recorded over ONE WEEKEND in December 2002 How Gillian Welch, David Rawlings Turned Prolific After Nearly Losing Their Life's Work
Thanks for sharing. Glad they were able to salvage all their stuff from the Tornado devastation. I really like the song Chinatown from the new Bootleg collection.
A heads-up for fans: Boots. No. 2/Volume 2 of 3 will be released for streaming and digital download from her website on Friday, Sept. 18th.
I am fairly distraught about the absence of physical media for this release. I will deal with it gracefully, for now -- but this event seems yet another harbinger of a dark and desolate future...
She responded on instagram to someone asking for CD or vinyl with, "We will have news soon. Stay tuned." They were so slow to release to vinyl and it seems the reason was they wanted it done right.
Saw this First off, thrilled of course if these 3 volumes came out on vinyl — I imagine they'll announce a pre-order when the 3rd set drops but we'll see It's becoming clearer to me that they may not be looking to press Revelator until they're able to tour behind it like they did with Soul Journey & Harrow. Disappointing as I believe Revelator was all but ready to go.
There will be optional box sets of CDs and LPs for these! The official announcement is Friday. I'm definitely getting the vinyl
The Folk Show with Mark Radcliffe - Gillian Welch and David Rawlings - BBC Sounds A series of events including contractual deadlines and tornadoes blowing into Nashville (threatening an archive of unfinished songs) led to the hasty creation of 'Boots No. 2: The Lost Songs, Vol. 1', the first in a run of releases that will capture Gillian and David recording in an easy, relaxed state which has already garnered glowing reviews. Even Gillian and David's least polished material offers moving and memorable vignettes, melodies, playing and singing. Interview starts around 19 minutes
Wow a 3 LP box set of lost songs - is it a dream or reality? Anyway ordered and if in the UK its £84.79 including postage.
