09 I'll Fly Away
total running time 44m5s
Gillian Welch - guitar, banjo, vocals
David Rawlings - guitar, vocals
None of the songs on that set are from the new album.
As far as I'm aware, Rawlings always plays with her and vice-versa. The artist 'Gillian Welch' is basically 'Gillian Welch & David Rawlings' . I presume when she does her own tour it'll be with a band.
I saw them play in support of Dave's debut solo album last year as part of the Dave Rawlings Machine, when they supported Old Crow Medicine Show at a festival here (they also joined OCMS for half of their set afterwards)
Between both acts, it was the best gig I was at in 2010.
Tour dates here :

She'll be on Conan on the day the album is released in the US (28/6/11)
