Gillian Welch and David Rawlings sync up in such a subtle and satisfying way — I love how their dynamics ebb and flow. In an interview, David Rawlings talked about searching for the "ghostly notes" in his improvisation: unusual, dissonant notes that still somehow work. One of those notes was woven into the chord progression of the bridge.
