An exclusive and extended interview with singer-songwriters Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings. They discuss their recent projects, the stories behind some of their most-loved songs and reveal some future plans.

The duo share stories about driving across America in their truck, listening to cassettes and AM radio. They explain the difference between a Gillian Welch and David Rawlings project and why the Dave Rawlings Machine turned into Poor David's Almanack. Plus how they've brought traditional folk songs to a new audience through the albums they've produced with Willie Watson. As they re-examine their own back catalogue and their influences, they celebrate their love and belief in the power of song.

Gillian and Dave react to some of the some of the artists who have covered their music, including Miranda Lambert, Emmylou Harris, Willie Nelson and Tom Jones. They reveal their plans for a new Gillian Welch album, the on-going Official Bootleg series of outtakes from their archive and their ambition to return to Scotland to play live. This interview was recorded with Ricky Ross in Nashville in March 2018.
