The Revelator Collection DVD is a mix of music videos and concert footage of singer-songwriter Gillian Welch and her musical partner David Rawlings. All of the video was filmed in black and white by still photographer Mark Seliger.

Contents

The first three tracks were recorded at RCA Studio B in Nashville, Tennessee and document the recording of these songs for Welch's 2001 album, Time (The Revelator).

The remaining songs are all filmed before live audiences. Tracks 4-8 were shot at the Cat's Cradle in Carrboro, North Carolina on November 10, 2001, and Tracks 9-11 were filmed the following day at the Bijou Theater in Knoxville, Tennessee. These eight tracks include several songs from the Time (The Revelator) album, one previously unreleased Gillian Welch song, "Wichita", and several covers. The duo cover Bob Dylan's "Billy", Neil Young's "Pocahontas" and Townes Van Zandt's "White Freight Liner Blues" as well as Bill Monroe's "I'm on My Way Back to the Old Home" with Rawlings singing lead. The clip of Welch and Rawlings performing "I Want to Sing that Rock and Roll" from the concert film, Down from the Mountain is added as a bonus.

Audio of all tracks have been released online and titled as "Songs from the Revelator Collection".
