The guitarist and songwriter Dave Rawlings records music in his own studio, which, in the 21st century, does not make him unusual. With laptops and Pro Tools rigs, every musician is a producer these days, every tiled bathroom a potential echo chamber. But the familiar East Nashville, Tenn., confines of Woodland Sound Studios—where Dave Rawlings Machine’s second album, Nashville Obsolete, was recorded earlier this year—is no homemade operation because Dave Rawlings is no mere guy with a guitar. Dave Rawlings is a gentleman of the old Nashville. The new, old Nashville, that is. Not the old, old Nashville, and definitely not the new, new Nashville. While it is almost impossible to tell where generations start and stop in the country-music capital of the world, Dave Rawlings is unquestionably of an earlier epoch.

Though a New England transplant, he has been at home in Tennessee for decades. The mind out of time is a songwriter, performer, producer, engineer, studio owner and label head, though none of those occupations is exactly what set him and Woodland Sound apart from fresher arrivals in town, like Jack White, whose antenna-topped Third Man Records on the other side of the Cumberland River has become a locus for a new independent music scene in the city. Woodland Sound Studios has been in operation, give or take, since 1966.

In the ‘70s, Neil Young did sessions there for Comes A Time, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band tracked Will the Circle Be Unbroken and Kansas recorded “Dust in the Wind.” More pertinently, after it went dark for a short period, it is where Dave Rawlings and his comrade Gillian Welch have made their musical home since 2001. One of the quietest power couples in popular music, a hers/his duo noted for Welch’s ghostly voice and Rawlings’ atmospheric, acoustic lead-guitar counterpoint, the two have made five albums under Welch’s name, earned Grammy nominations and—thanks to their participation in the best-selling soundtrack to O Brother, Where Art Thou?—helped directly spawn the latest folk-music revival. Most recently, they earned a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Americana Music Association and decidedly new, new Nashville star Miranda Lambert (from the reality show Nashville Star) recorded Welch and Rawlings’ “Look at Miss Ohio.” The two have often described themselves as “a two-person act called Gillian Welch.” And, as of 2009, the pair constitutes the two primary members of another band called Dave Rawlings Machine.

While Nashville Obsolete is, in some ways, a modest effort—seven songs tracked more or less live—it also puts on plain display what makes Rawlings different and what makes his and Welch’s partnership quite unlike anything else in contemporary music. In the combination of Rawlings’ quizzical Jerry Garcia-like guitar, Welch’s voice and the pair’s haunted post-Dylan songwriting instincts, they have found a permanent portal into a far-off place. It doesn’t matter what the band is called. When Dave Rawlings and Gillian Welch roll analog tape at Woodland Sound Studios, they’re not in Nashville anymore. Neither Dave Rawlings nor Gillian Welch can pinpoint the moment when Dave Rawlings Machine tipped into existence. Installer user interface mode not supported linux. Welch uses the word “inevitable” to describe its birth.

Rawlings had done some collaborative songwriting with Ryan Adams (“To Be Young (Is to Be Sad, Is to Be High)” on 2000’s Heartbreaker) and Old Crow Medicine Show’s Ketch Secor (“I Hear Them All,” on 2006’s Big Iron World, which Rawlings produced), and a bit of touring work with Bright Eyes (which yielded a cover of Conor Oberst’s “Method Acting”). Even before that, in the late ‘90s, Rawlings and Welch had played around Nashville, and a few points beyond, as a male-fronted rock group called The Esquires, with Welch on bass and Rawlings on vocals—sometimes with Adams sitting in—blasting out songs by Chuck Berry, Neil Young, The Meters and others. “We realized it would enable us to perform more and to broaden what we felt comfortable artistically playing,” Welch says of the Machine. “We were aware that the duet was really tightly focused and somewhat confining, and we just wanted to play other stuff.” Such is Rawlings and Welch’s stature that the Machine’s debut gig was at the 2009 Newport Folk Festival, before the band had even recorded an album.
