My favorite of her albums is Boots 2: The Lost Songs and The Harrow & The Harvest. Easily found on Spotify/YouTube. If you like that stuff, much of Allison Krauss' catalog should be added as well.

Thanks for the mentioning. I'm sure I've listened to that one before but forgot about it. YouTubing now...

This is all the excuse I need to poast my top 5 GW/DR songs. As for albums, Gillian's Time (The Revelator) is my clear #1.

#5
Spoiler:
vintage Gillian

#4
Spoiler:
One of their many songs that sounds like it could have been recorded 50 or 100 years ago, but it was released in 2020 (on the album that won the Grammy for Best Folk Album)

#3
Spoiler:
Can't touch their gospel tunes...

#2
Spoiler:
Rawlings wrote this one with Ryan Adams, and my first exposure to this song was back in the early aughts when I saw Old School. It's interesting to compare Adams's version with Rawlings's.

The songs that have made my iPod cut so far:

Orphan Girl
By The Mark
Everything Is Free
I'm Not Afraid To Die

ETA: As much as I hate 99% of the music that is played on the mothercorp radio station up here, I have to give them props to playing stuff I'd otherwise be unlikely to stumble across. They randomly played "Orphan Girl" while I was out driving in a hurry to one place or another and it was a wonderful who-the-****-is-this? moment.

September Recap


As you can see, the new Harrahdise chips are in circulation. They're consistent with the renovated design of the new casino: spiffy and serviceable, but uncreative.

A few gambol-related topics as a reminder that this is still, at least in theory, a poker blog.

RIP Archie Karas

Karas is probably best known for his epic "run" when he turned $50 bucks into $50 million, or more, and then lost it all. A few years ago he did an interview that, to my mind, offers a great argument against a gambling-centric life.

October Recap


Mostly been pleasantly trapped in the teaching vortex, along with some occasional gamboling in the Quarter, where oodles of Swifties ran amok

Spoiler:

Didn't go to any of the three shows, but by most accounts they were solid and the locals were thrilled with bizness: the Swifties were polite and tipped well, which is all you can really ask of tourists, right? All told, Empress Tay brought in $500 million to Nola. Enough to fix a pothole or three.
