Nashville Obsolete is out today! The much lauded and applauded second album by Dave Rawlings Machine has been pressed to vinyl for the first time ever, directly from the master tapes.  It is available now from davidrawlingsmusic.com or your local record store or your ubiquitous online retailer of choice.

Garnering a nomination for Best Original Song at the 2019 Academy Awards, “When A Cowboy Trades His Spurs For Wings” is the latest song penned by Gillian Welch and David Rawlings. Written for the Coen brothers’ western tour de force The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, and originally performed therein by dueling gunslingers Tim Blake Nelson and Willie Watson, the song shines on this Acony Records release as Gillian and David sing it in their own haunting, inimitable style, invoking both the fatalism and penchant for yodeling of the classic cowboy songs.

The new song is out today on Acony Records. Click here to stream and download the song your favorite way.
