Tonight's installment of Lyric Love shines the light on Gillian Welch, an incredibly gifted songwriter with a voice that evokes a sense of "I've seen it all before" wisdom befit a woman twice her age.
Peaches in the summertime, apples in the fall
If I can’t have you all the time, I won’t have none at all
Oh, I wish I was in 'frisco in a brand new pair of shoes
I’m sittin’ here in Nashville with Norman’s Nashville blues
So come all you good time rounders listenin’ to my sound
And then drink a round to Nashville 'fore they tear it down
Gillian Welch, "Wayside/Back In Time," Soul Journey
