Gillian Welch – Boots No. 2: The Lost Songs (3XLP)

Deluxe package consists of a 12-inch «old-school, tip-on» style box made by Stoughton Printing, including a special 66-page songbook with photos, lyrics, and guitar chords for all 48 tracks. The box set includes the three volumes on Three 150-gram LPs housed in printed paper sleeves.

Unearthed from a cache of home demos and reel-to-reel recordings, Boots No. 2: The Lost Songs is the second release of archival music from the vault of Gillian Welch and David Rawlings. Reissued on high quality audiophile vinyl for its fifth anniversary, this remarkable 48 song collection, spread over three volumes, was recorded between the making of Time (The Revelator) and Soul Journey. It is an intimate glimpse at the artist’s sketchbook, containing some lifelong themes as well as some flights of fancy.
