Damn. This was some good stuff. And what an amazing song, which I’d never heard before.

🙇🏻 Welch is one of the greats, the whole album is a miracle

Really appreciate the deep dive into how this album fits into a larger tradition of musical themes and Welch's own work. The way you unpack the ideas of home and woundedness in the album was illuminating. Haven't really ever gotten too into American folk, but I'm going to give this album a try later.

It’s one of the great ones, the first person to push the genre from within its own boundaries since Joni (as opposed to mashing it up with something outside, a noble project in itself but not as interesting to me)
