Over the years each has taken a turn supporting the other on various projects. Rawlings’ latest is no exception, although this nuanced reading of a lesson book in Americana folk styles benefits greatly from a guestlist that features Willie Watson and Ketch Secor (Old Crow Medicine Show) as well as Taylor and Griffin Goldsmith (Dawes).
From the close harmonies of Lindsey Button to the country-rock vibe of Cumberland Gap, Rawlings is clearly having a good time.
