David Rawlings - Poor David's Almanack

Poor David’s Almanack is a solo studio album by American musician David Rawlings, released in August 2017 via Acony Records.

David Rawlings is an American guitarist, singer, and record producer who is known for his partnership with singer-songwriter Gillian Welch.

This album is the first released under his own name and is very much a collaborative album with Gillian Welch, who is featured on the album, both on vocals and playing various instruments.  Other musicians who contributed to the album are Willie Watson, Ketch Secor of Old Crow Medicine Show, and Taylor and Griffin Goldsmith of Dawes.

The album was recorded with Ken Scott and Matt Andrews at the duo's Woodland Sound Studios in Nashville. The album cover artwork features an original woodcut piece by Gillian Welch and was the first vinyl release on Welch and Rawlings' Acony record label.

In a review for Rolling Stone magazine, Bittney McKenna writes: “Start to finish, the album is a testament both to his immeasurable talent and to his essential place in the roots and Americana music scene. It's also a chance for a guy otherwise happy to play sideman or stand behind the boards to step out just a touch further into a well-deserved spotlight…”

This album is on high fidelity black vinyl housed in a textured sleeve with printed inner sleeve and download code, pressed in the US via Acony Records.
