Gillian Welch talks about the South

Mother Jones: Gillian Welch's Long Way Home

GW: We were coming out to L.A. a lot, and the very act of leaving made us think more about Nashville and about the South. At this point, I've lived in Nashville longer than I've ever lived anywhere, and this certain Southern-ness was coming through. The new songs all seemed to circle around ideas of place and time, things having to do with the passing of time and its effect on friendship, the people in your life—when things don't go the way you want them to. Which is a great way of summarizing why so much time went by [since the last CD]. At one point there was talk of a double record, but as you focus the vision, it kind of draws its own boundaries.
