Here Comes The Dave Rawlings Machine

The upcoming road trip is loaded with dates stretching all the way into the first few weeks of 2016.  All that traveling is in support of Nashville Obsolete, arriving Sept. 18. 

Recorded on analog tape at Nashville’s Woodland Sound Studios, Nashville Obsolete features seven original compositions by Rawlings and his longtime music partner Welch.  The album boasts Paul Kowert of the Punch Brothers on bass and Willie Watson on vocals/guitars along with guest appearances by Brittany Haas on fiddle and Jordan Tice on mandolin.

You can pre-order the album via iTunes, Amazon and at the Dave Rawlings Machine’s official store.

This is a big week for Rawlings and Welch.   In addition to the album dropping on Friday, the pair will be honored for their career accomplishments when they are presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award for Songwriting from the Americana Music Association during a ceremony held at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium Sept. 16.  The event will stream live on NPR, WSM Radio and Sirius XM and will be taped to broadcast on PBS later in the year.
