![]() ![]() Once we’ve finished out that group of songs, pile of thoughts, we might start to pull out one of the dusty notebook sheets that seemed like it would work well with whatever band we’re aiming at. Then we may try to angle the material one way or the other. The only time we write with intent is if we have an album getting close to being finished. With you and Gillian being in multiple projects, do you sit down to write with a particular project in mind, or do you just write and find a place for it to fit? ![]() Rawlings is a kind-hearted quick-talker with his hand in many pots, and it shows as excitedly chats about new ideas, musical growth, and getting back on the road with the Machine. A toughed-up version of the roots music many associate Rawlings and Welch with, it’s a must-have for any Americana fan. The band, which started as occasional endeavor of Rawlings, Welch, and a rotation of talented friends, made a grand return in 2015 with a second LP, Nashville Obsolete. While many will recognize him as the guy with the vintage archtop guitar playing and harmonizing alongside Welch (who was launched to the top of roots music thanks to her contributions to 2000’s treasured Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack), Rawlings helms a project of his own, Dave Rawlings Machine. THE MAN occupying the producer’s chair on records from Old Crow Medicine Show, Dawes, longtime collaborator Gillian Welch, and many more, Dave Rawlings is Nashville gold.
