Movie Reviews of Gillian Welch - The Revelator Collection
Movie Review: Country Folk in intimate setting
Summary: 4 Stars
Gillian's sincerity and virtuosity are particularly appropriate to black and white filming..some kind of grainy earnestness is expressed. Some of the grabs of her lounging between recording sessions, of closely watched guitar cases, of shoes, of her whisps of hair harken of a bygone, dustbowl era. If you have the disc, you'll probably want this visual accompaniment. Rawlings is sensational and, for my money, watching him at work, his rapture, his response to his partner's muse is exemplary, and makes the disc worthwhile, whatever other merits remain. Neil Young's, Pacahontas (and I'd add that something of his intense brow descends upon welch)is a standout. Dylan's,'Billy' is similarly treated to great effect, though with an unprecedented bluegrass wash.
Summary of Gillian Welch - The Revelator Collection
Rarely have an artist and a visual approach been as well matched as they are in this hour-long package of videos and concert performances featuring singer-songwriter Gillian Welch and her musical partner, guitarist David Rawlings. Welch's rootsy, all-acoustic music is pure, plain, and simple, old-sounding if not especially old-fashioned; fittingly, both the three videos and nine live songs here ("Revelator" is seen and heard in both formats), all from 2001, are in black and white and similarly free of props, effects, or any other kind of artifice. Most of the material is her own, with covers of songs by Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Townes Van Zandt, and bluegrass legend Bill Monroe rounding out the program. Not the liveliest or most uplifting music around, perhaps, but Welch fans will, well, revel in this tasteful presentation of her work. --Sam GrahamMusic Video & Concerts DVD Video
