Woodland

Woodland is the seventh studio album by Gillian Welch, the third studio album by David Rawlings, and the second studio album to be credited to the pair as a duo. Released by Acony Records on August 23, 2024, it is the first album of original material from Welch since 2011's The Harrow & the Harvest, and from Rawlings since 2017's Poor David's Almanack. Their 2020 album, All the Good Times, consisted entirely of covers of preexisting songs. The album is named after Welch and Rawlings' Woodland Sound Studios in Nashville, Tennessee, which was destroyed by a tornado in 2020. The artists stated in a press release that the songs on Woodland are "a swirl of contradictions, emptiness, fullness, joy, grief, destruction, [and] permanence." The album won the 2025 Grammy Award for Best Folk Album.
