Utilizing a close-knit group in the studio -- Gillian Welch included -- the singer/ songwriter and guitarist widens his songwriting approach and sonic palette.

4 stars out of 5 -- "There are two real stand-outs: Neil Young-esque 'Cumberland Gap,' and 'Airplane,' as hypnotic and moving as anything on THE HARROW & THE HARVEST.", "Rawlings, Welch, and the backing players use the same instruments available to any roots musician, but very little roots music sounds quite like this. That’s partly due to Rawlings’ production."
