Darling remember when you come to me
I'm the pretender,
I'm not what I'm supposed to be.
But who could know, if I'm a traitor?
Time's the revelator.
They caught the Katy, and left me a mule to ride.
The fortune lady came along, she walked beside.
But every word seemed to date her.
Time's the revelator, the revelator.
Up in the morning up and on the ride.
I drive in to Corning and all the spindles whine.
And every day is getting straighter.
Time's the revelator, the revelator.
Leaving the valley, up and out of sight.
I'll go back to Cali where I can sleep out every night.
And watch the waves and move the fader.
Time's the revelator, the revelator.
Queen of fakes and imitators
Time's the revelator.

I was in the hospital in 2017 for a month. Which i had become a pin cushion during the day and I couldn’t sleep at night. So I love bluegrass and Americanas. So at I would stream music came across Sara Jarosz. I feel like a stalker cause there is nothing she couldn’t sing with such a charisma that has me wanting to hear and see everything she has done. And Chris Thile I found him and Nickel creek . And now I follow them all. I am so glad that in my lifetime to hear such greatness. There is so much music out there to find and to lift you up. Sara and Chris are apart of that genre. Thank you and keep on playing you are loved.

My admiration of Gillian Welch traces back to Live From Here. When the show would cover a song I liked I would go back and listen to the original. More times than not – I find myself liking the LFH cover version better. This one is tough – because I like both so much.

The Gillian Welch BBC4 concert at St Lukes is one of my favorite videos – and David Rawlings unleashes that blistering guitar solo at the end of Time the Revelator that is one for the ages. On this one – Sarah’s vocal is both tender and powerful at the same time and the full band treatment (from a killer ensemble) adds a lot.

I’ve listened to each dozens of times and can’t pick a favorite – love them both

@carlyork6024

That BBC show is the most magical v of this song. DR's guitar (isnt like a 1935 Epiphone?) pretty much bends time and space. It has the most glorious tone and the whole performance seems more visceral and harmed. It's unbelievable.

Damn Chris, man I've listened to this cover 4 times in a row. Just great. Remember playing with you in the quad at Murray state (and you writing some of my music theory homework for me lol) so proud of you. Kentucky boy all the way. Your success is so deserved. For all that read this, Chris is one of the most kind, and genuine, human beings you will ever meet. BTW I still have your brass capo you left in my dorm room. Happy to return it to you.

Excellent, agreed. The violin solo was almost like (but different) Zappa and a horn section doing Stairway to Heaven. Sounds crazy, but great musicians can do the magic.

Sarah's vocals were great. This is not a slam, but Chris's harmonies don't compare with the original. Of course Welch and Rawlins had at least a decade to practice together.

I love her voice. This song, along with Chris’s matching voice, was perfect. Something about this just worked, like a sensory overflow moment. This is now my favorite song. I switch between this and Gillian W / David R version from YouTube’s bbc recording. Both are beautiful.

They don’t match it though. No band, not playing instruments. Rawlings and Welch are Another level. You’ve seen the BBC live version. Nothing ever beats that.

@jeremytodd5901

you two match so perfectly. When I saw you (NC) at the Wiltern LA some 16 or 18 years ago, I had already been your fan for years; I love you more when i see this than I did when I got a photo with Chris out in Sedona AZ with my punk rock girl friend. Bring this weekly love back. I miss you. And I insisted on staying for the photo.

@thereverendsam413

It's not often you'll hear Chris Thile play a song and think "Nope, you'd never have come up with those tonalities yourself". He's playing beautifully, he always plays beautifully, but he sounds like Dave Rawlings playing mandolin. That in itself is a huge compliment, but it just shows, you cannot fully put your own stamp on some of the Welch and Rawlings repertoire without losing the song. Listen to those little chromatic 4 fret run downs, the dissonances - it's Dave.

@benjaminberan7645

Very good cover indeed, exactly what I would have expected from this group of incredible musicians. However (dare I even say it), the song missed that element of "urgency" that Rawlings brings to this song (and many of their songs). He is literally on top of the tempo as if he is pulling Gillian through the song. Just look how Gillian is standing there all relaxed, just steady as a rock and right next her is Rawlings who looks as if he is going to jump out of his skin. Like he just can't wait to play the note! It is that stark contrast in their deliveries that make their music so incredible. https://youtu.be/4gEc5Pq50xo

@manitou1954

Hardly. Chris Eldridge has a solo at the ~3:00 mark, Brittany Haas with the violin at ~4:00 both are brilliant. Actually Chris' mandolin is non existent until his amazing concluding solo at around the 6:00 mark. Your comment is the only thing weak here.

@guyfaulkes3035

It's not "weak." It's different. To make a cover identical-sounding to the original version is pointless. Good songs lend themselves well to re-arrangements, and this is a fine example.
