Last year, the legendary Americana musicians Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, two longtime collaborators, released the joint record Woodland, which won the Grammy for Best Folk Album. Last night, Welch and Rawlings were musical guests on Stephen Colbert’s Late Show, where they got a chance to show how they can cast a spell. I get why musicians like Welch and Rawlings don’t get booked on late-night shows all the time — they’re not exactly at the center of the zeitgeist — but it’s pretty amazing what they can do with minimal help.
