Gillian
FYI, The New Yorker has a good article on Gillian Welch.
Mrs. Cleek and I saw her a few months ago in Durham, NC. It was a great show. Her partner, David Rawlings, is a fearless guitar player. He'll do fills and runs in places where you don't think there's any room; and you can't imagine he'll be able to get back to the song in time for the next beat - but he always does. And he does it without sounding busy or flashy. It all just works. She's a totally flash-free performer, but the sound they together make more than makes up for her lack of theatrics.
