Gillian Welch To Release SOUL JOURNEY On Vinyl August 10th Via Acony Records

Gillian Welch's celebrated fourth studio album, 2003's Soul Journey, will be released for the first time ever on vinyl via her own Acony Records on August 10th, to coincide with the album's 15th anniversary. The long awaited first pressing of Soul Journey, which The A.V. Club hailed as "raw, spare, direct, and achingly pretty," contains some of her most beloved songs, including "Look At Miss Ohio," "Wayside/Back In Time" and "Wrecking Ball". Soul Journey was mastered directly from the original tapes through custom Ortofon amplifiers to a Neumann VMS-80 cutting system and plated and pressed on 150-gram audiophile-quality vinyl at Quality Record Pressings, and can be pre-ordered here.

Recently, Gillian Welch announced new "An Evening With" tour dates in cities including Las Vegas, Cincinnati, New Orleans and two dates in Saxapahaw, NC (full dates below). On this tour Gillian Welch and her musical partner, David Rawlings, will perform two full sets of music with no opener. Additionally, Gillian Welch will perform with Father John Misty at The Hollywood Bowl on June 24thand will co-headline a Red Rocks Amphitheatre show with Punch Brothers on September 17th. Tickets for all dates are on sale now and can be purchased here.

Gillian Welch and David Rawlings have recorded 8 studio albums and have lent their talents to countless fellow artists' recordings. Recently, Welch & Rawlings released their latest collaboration, David Rawlings's Poor David's Almanack, a wry mixture of acoustic and electric music rich in ageless American vernacular. The album of ten new songs was engineered by studio wizards Ken Scott (Beatles, David Bowie) and Matt Andrews on analog tape during a week of sessions at legendary Woodland Sound Studios in Nashville, Tennessee. Read more about Poor David's Almanack here. Additionally, in recognition of their remarkable career, Welch and Rawlings were honored with the Americana Lifetime Achievement Award for Songwriting in 2015 and the Berklee American Masters Award in 2016.
