After winning some groundbreaking awards for her phenomenal bluegrass guitar flatpicking, Molly Tuttle spent several years buckling down on songwriting and interpreting the songs of others across a big range of traditions. For her latest LP, Crooked Tree, she assembled a sterling bluegrass group and leaned hard on her ’grass roots, yielding her best work yet. The sound of the band and the songs’ thematic focus on feeling at home within yourself and with your community are perfect examples of drawing on tradition and pushing it forward.
