Gillian Welch’s rich and remarkable career spans over twenty-five years, and she and her musical partner David Rawlings are a pillar of the modern acoustic music world. They have been hailed by Pitchfork as “modern masters of American folk” and “protectors of the American folk song” by Rolling Stone.

The pair are widely recognised as leading exponents of their genre, with every new release a notable event. Their 10th studio album Woodland (2024), now available on all formats, was named for and recorded at their own Woodland Sound Studios in Nashville, which they rebuilt following the devastation of the 2020 tornado. The new 10-song collection mingles full band tracks with intricate duet performances all tied together with the duo’s signature sound and lyricism.

The vinyl edition of Woodland is mastered by David Rawlings directly from the original analog master tapes to his custom Neumann VMS-80 lathe. Acony Records is proud to be partnering with the all-new Paramount Pressing & Plating, a joint venture between Rawlings and esteemed plating craftsman Gary Salstrom, to produce superior vinyl records. Paramount Pressing, located in Denver, CO and built from the ground up from Salstrom’s specifications, is dedicated to producing the highest quality vinyl records available, using state of the art Pheenix Alpha and Viryl presses and the experience of some of the greatest record pressing engineers and record producers in the business.

“There’s that harmony blend that no-one else can achieve besides these two.
They are so influential…”

“The intuitive bond between the two musicians remains at the forefront of their terrific new album, full of quiet adventures and clear empathy.”
