I LOVE Gillian Welch's music. Here is the amazing thing about her. After listening to her voice and her music I figured she was obviously a West Virgina coal country girl. WRONG...She's a California chick!

Obviously a very talented one but that sure surprised me.

My favorite rendition of the song "The Weight" by Gillian and friends. Check out the banjo the guy is playing, for those of you out there who now banjos that is neither a 4 string tenor or a 5 string picking banjo rather it's a 6 string which I've never seen or heard of.
