The good news is that The Harrow and the Harvest offers enough familiarity to appease longtime fans and enough variety to grab the attention of a new generation. Some of the territory is familiar: fear of the unknown, desperation, exhaustion. What’s different about this collection is that it almost feels more personal than Welch and Rawlings’ earlier work. The duo isn’t telling a story about an anonymous “Orphan Girl” or re-telling a legend about a young heroine’s struggle against “Caleb Meyer” from the safe distance of singer-songwriters. This time around, they’re right up in the face of the stories — they are the stories, and they’re sharing them here.
