American folk masters Gillian Welch and David Rawlings have just released a new song, Hashtag which is off their 10th studio album, Woodland, set for a August 23rd digital release on their label Acony Records. Welch shares about the song,
“We wrote Hashtag for Guy Clark. Guy taught us what it was like on the road. He took us out opening for him all over the states, to our first shows in Texas, Oklahoma, California, and South Carolina. He showed us the parallel universe of the troubadour.”
Check out the new song here:
Woodland is their first album since 2020’s All the Good Times, a collection of covers and classic folk songs which earned the duo the 2021 GRAMMY Award for Best Folk Album, and their first album of new original music since 2017’s Poor David’s Almanack. Pre-order or pre-save Woodland here. Vinyl and CD are available to preorder today from the Acony Records Online Store, and the album will be available worldwide on all formats later this fall.
