Gillian Welch - The Way The Whole Thing Ends from the album The Harrow & The Harvest (2011 Warner). This beautiful album is full of haunting drama that occurs off-camera. It is the best kind of record: one that lures you in and soothes you with harmonies and banjo, only to leave you wondering what just happened.

Ending an eight-year recording break that set in soon after Gillian Welch's profile-boosting appearance in O Brother, Where Art thou?, The Harrow & the Harvest marks a lovely return. The Harrow & the Harvest, her first album in eight long years, is perfectly timed to coincide with the tenth anniversary of O Brother and the success of such acts as the Civil Wars and Mumford & Sons, who owe her a considerable debt.

Retreating from the full-band sound of 2003's Soul Journey, these new songs are defiantly spare and spectral, featuring mostly the dueling guitars and voices of Welch and longtime partner Dave Rawlings. Their playing sounds tighter and more intuitive than ever, opening up songs like "Down Along the Dixie Line" and "The Way It Will Be" and setting their elegant guitar lines—picked more often than strummed—at eloquently cross purposes.

It's a rich portrait, full of unexpected imagery and odd turns of phrase, which means that even though Welch has sung about drunks and prodigals so many times in the past, the songs on The Harrow & The Harvest sound both pleasingly familiar and starkly new, as if her unique vision of Americana contains an inexhaustible cast of eccentrics and an unending narrative from which she can harvest the most harrowing arcs.

Lyrics:

Say you wanna see my garden

And you wanna make it shine

Say you wanna see my blue jeans

Hanging on your old clothesline

Standing in the backdoor crying

Now you wanna be my friend

That's the way the cornbread crumbles

That's the way the whole thing ends

Now what's a little baby doing

Dressing up in banker's clothes?

What's a little sweetheart like you

Doing with a bloody nose?

Standing in the backdoor crying

Now you're gonna need a friend

That's the way the cornbread crumbles

That's the way the whole thing ends

Now once you had a hook and ladder

Up into the headless night

And once you had a motorcycle

But you couldn't ride it right

Standing in the doorway crying

Now you're gonna need a friend

That's the way the cornbread crumbles

That's the way the whole thing ends

Someone said something one time

But Daddy didn't talk too loud

People oughta stick together

That's the way to make a crowd

But here you come alone and crying

Now you wanna be my friend

That's the way the cornbread crumbles

That's the way the whole thing ends

Momma's in the beauty parlor

And Daddy's in the baseball pool

Sister's in the drive-in movie

Brother's in the old high school

Now here you come alone and crying

Once, you know, you were my friend

That's the way the cornbread crumbles

That's the way the whole thing ends

Standing in the backdoor crying

Now you wanna be my friend

That's the way the cornbread crumbles

That's the way the whole things ends
