Congratulations to Gillian Welch and David Rawlings!

@mofimadness: Ah, okay, then the Welch/Rawlings LP is not pressed using Clarity vinyl, but some other special formulation. I don't have a kitchen weight scale, but my copy of the LP is on the heavy side.

@winoguy17: And the vinyl is that translucent type (I believe it is named Clarity) used by MoFi and Analogue Productions, which when placed up to a light source you can barely see through.

I was very happy when both of Levon Helms' last two albums won Grammy Awards, Dirt Farmer for best Traditional Folk Album and Electric Dirt for best Americana album. I fitting way to go out.

A great article @mashif, thanks for the link. I knew nothing about the Woodland Sound Studio story.

Oops, they’re not their.

And whatta ya know, their including Portland, Oregon in their current tour, so I'll finally get to see and hear them live for the first time. Tickets don't go on sale til Feb. 14th, so I don't yet know what it'll cost me.
