Description
----------------

"The Revival demos was a burst of creativity for singer-songwriter Gillian Welch. From the 14 songs, 455 Rocket was a single for country singer Kathy Mattea while Emmylou Harris picked up Orphan Girl for her Wrecking Ball album in 1995. Welch herself chose only four songs from this 1995 session for her debut album, Revival. She would record just one more, Red Clay Halo, for her third album Time (The Revelator). Otherwise, these songs remain unreleased.
 
 Gillian Welch’s last album was 2003’s Soul Journey. In 2009, she was part of the David Rawlings Machine debut album, A Friend Of A Friend. She co-wrote five of the songs with Rawlings, her longtime partner. Otherwise, Welch has been on the road with Rawlings and no new songs have emerged.
 
A drought has set in on that original optimism. Listening to The Revival Demos, it’s hard to imagine what has happened? On the other hand, Ryan Adam’s prolific output has not helped his career much. Adams started in 1995 with Whiskeytown and if you include all his albums since then, he has four times more releases than Welch’s miserly four. Ryan Adams remains in the fringes of popularity like Gillian Welch.
 
There’s not a wasted track on The Revival Demos.
 
Thanks to Scouser Art for the covers. This recording was distributed by Dylanvine."
 
 -- The Little Chicken 

*Gillian Welch’s released album, Revival, used only four songs from the demos she wrote.*

Get Up, Get On

I grew up listening to country music. My heroes include Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash and Elvis. The music may have gone through some big changes with new bands and artists such as the Dixie Chicks and George Strait but the songs remain the same - tales of love and heartache.

The River Of Life

Out now! Get it at the Daptone Shop http://shopdaptonerecords.com

The first single from Dunham Records in-house, all male, backing vocal quartet, The Sha-La-Das, conjures up the memory of a stolen first kiss - a whispered, forbidden vow of young love under the boardwalk at Coney Island. It's layered with sunny melodies that intoxicate, while the haunting undercurrent slowly pulls you in, like standing on the shoreline at dusk mid-July. The Sha La Das have been one of the secret ingredients in the recordings of the last two Charles Bradley albums (Victim of Love, Changes). They've been blips on the radar of keen-eared music enthusiasts for some time now, both as a group and separately.
