iTunes Review
Gillian Welch and songwriting partner David Rawlings have developed and refined their own blend of country, folk, and bluegrass on this release. It’s the most austere and personal of her three albums to date and the one with the least instrumental variety. Most of the songs are performed on two acoustic guitars with Rawlings adding his melodic guitar lines and sublime close harmony singing (he also produced the album). The songs are complex and lyrically rich and deal with themes that revolve around the nature of time and its effect on subjects ranging from love to art as in the dreamy Roy Orbinson-esque “Dear Someone,” the front porch bluegrass of “My First Lover” and “Red Clay Halo,” and the epic bookends of “Revelator” and the 14-minute “I Dream a Highway.” Filled with subtle power and grace, Time - The Revelator is a deeply moving work and arguably the duo’s definitive artistic statement.

One of Gillians classic four.
by sowndsurfrAnother great work from first song to the last. Part of what is her classic four: Revival, Hell Among The Yearlings, Soul Journey, and Time(The Revelator).
Spectacular...all ten tracks!
by Mikey McdTop to bottom, from the haunting solos of David Rawlings on Revelator, through the spectacular disaster of the April 14th gig, to the incredible 14 minute I Dream A Highway, one of the best albums I have ever heard. The songwriting is truly inspiring, and the simple rythm guitar of Welch, with Rawlings masterful, heartfelt accompanyment, make this album a true joy to own...all ten tracks!!
Great American Novel
by cardiganwelshcorgiIf there can be a musical counterpart to the great American novel, this album is it. Monumental. Quietly and stunningly so. For me, it is still the best complete work in any music genre that I have heard in the last 20 years.
