Fox in the Snow

The Harrow & The Harvest is further proof that Gillian Welch is the John Steinbeck of American folk music. When it comes to illustrating the present in pictures of the past few living singer-songwriters come close. Through tough tales we’re all softened a little and better off for knowing life’s sordid affairs so that we may learn to navigate the most treacherous of them. (via Readers’ Pick: Gillian Welch, “The Harrow & The Harvest” - Twangville)

What a great way to put it. Thanks for the post, bonnerj. :)
