​Twisted Pine (from the album Right Now on Signature Sound Recordings) (by Bryant Liggett)
Twisted Pine is living a fantastic identity crisis. Their latest release, Right Now, finds them as a full-blown, music festival ready new-grass outfit using Bluegrass instrumentation to explore Rock, Funk and Soul, while Twisted Pine just as readily become an acoustic instrumental playing Indie Pop band fluttering with AM Gold, while throwing a dash of experimentation into everything. The title track is a cheery opener, vocals soaring over layers of hip guitar, finger-snaps, and flute runs, setting an animated pace of innocent fun.
Instrumental cuts all use the new-grass model as a springboard to fly into innovation. “Amadeus Party” is loaded with hip, jazzy breaks, while “Come Along Jody” is driven by a breezy flute and fiddle combo, ultimately giving way to a splashy bass solo. Twisted Pine present the soundtrack for a World Music hoedown with the Cajun fiddle heavy “Fogo de Chow”. “Papaya” is fun blast of scatting pop, its defining characteristic is bucking definition, and the band turns Father John Misty’s “Well, You Can Do It Without Me” into a soulful, Gospel track. “Dreamaway” begins as a lullaby before it morphs into a Jazz-inflected vocal number while “Tomorrow the Sun Will Rise” is a whisper of faraway and dreamy Folk.  Band meetings likely didn’t come with the forethought of their latest being an ‘Andrews Sisters joins Nickel Creek’ exploration but that’s the glorious territory Twisted Pine have discovered and conquered.
