Oct 27, 2015Supreme musicianship cuts through a production job that is neither minimal nor ornate.
-
Sep 17, 2015Rawlings-Welch are so good and natural in their borrowing that Nashville Obsolete evokes familiar sepia-toned moods almost without ever sounding worn-out or dated, the only exception perhaps being "Short Haired Woman Blues," on which the tempo feels sluggish.
-
Sep 14, 2015Rawlings emerges from his usual behind-the-scenes role with considerable originality and quiet authority on an album of entirely original songs.
-
Sep 14, 2015The playing is, predictably, classy, but mostly it’s an album of surprises; it’s Dave’s porch and he’ll play what he chooses.
-
UncutSep 14, 2015There is so much on Nashville Obsolete that impresses, but what lingers longest is rare and persuasive ability to tap into the ageless mythos of true American folk. [Oct 2015, p.85]
-
Oct 26, 2015Beautifully captured on tape with the mix of spontaneity and professionalism expected from a Rawlings/Welch performance, Nashville Obsolete has something of a brooding grandeur to it.
-
MojoSep 14, 2015The seven songs--mostly lengthy, one epic--have (as expected) extraordinary guitar solos, fused vocal harmonies, sprightly old-time and brooding folk. [Oct 2015, p.93]
