Album · 2003 · Acony Records ACNY-0305

Soul Journey, Gillian Welch’s fourth album, was released on 3 June 2003 on Acony Records (ACNY-0305), the label owned by Welch and David Rawlings, which had already put out Time (The Revelator) in 2001. Rawlings produced it. The disc’s notes say it was recorded at Woodland Sound Studios, at RCA Studio B and at home. Woodland, in East Nashville, is a studio Welch and Rawlings own.

Welch and Rawlings are credited with the rest of the playing, and four guests join them: Ketch Secor on fiddle, Greg Leisz on Dobro, Jim Boquist on bass guitar and Mark Ambrose on acoustic guitar. The album brought a fuller sound to their music, with drums and electric guitar. Rawlings is credited as a writer on nine of the ten songs, all but “One Little Song.” The set includes “Look at Miss Ohio,” “Make Me a Pallet on Your Floor,” “One Monkey” and “Wrecking Ball.”
