Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The talented multi-instrumentalist's Nonesuch debut, Crooked Tree, marks the studio debut of Molly Tuttle's bluegrass collective Golden Highway. Tuttle's prior two efforts, 2019's When You're Ready and 2020's ...But I'd Rather Be with You, were bluegrass-adjacent affairs, with the former exploring country-folk and Americana and the latter delivering a set of eclectic covers. Golden Highway's core consists of Tuttle on six-string, banjo player Kyle Tuttle (no relation), fiddler Bronwyn Keith-Hynes, bassist Shelby Means, and mandolin player Dominick Leslie. Tuttle surrounds the group with a murderers' row of genre greats, including "newgrass" vets Viktor Krauss and Jerry Douglas, the latter of whom also co-produced the album. With guest spots from Margo Price, Billy Strings, Old Crow Medicine Show, Sierra Hull, Dan Tyminski, and Gillian Welch, Crooked Tree can feel a little busy, but the playing is reliably top-notch, and the songs, which approach trad-bluegrass themes from a female perspective, are both potent and timely. ~ James Christopher Monger
