Molly Tuttle preps LP ft. Margo Price, Gillian Welch, Old Crow Medicine Show & more, touring

Molly Tuttle and her bluegrass band Golden Highway will release a new album, Crooked Tree, on April 1 via Nonesuch (her first LP for the label), and it’s loaded with awesome guest appearances, including Margo Price, Gillian Welch, Old Crow Medicine Show, Billy Strings, Sierra Hull, and Dan Tyminski. Four songs are out now, including the just-released “Big Backyard” with Old Crow Medicine show, and here’s what Molly says about this one:

I wish that Woody Guthrie were still around. I’d love to hear the songs he would write about the crazy world we’re living in today. But since he’s not, Ketch Secor and I wrote the best Woody Guthrie song we could think of. Old Crow Medicine Show joined in on the chorus and made it shine. We’re all one family in the big backyard, it ain’t mine it ain’t yours it’s all of ours!

You can definitely hear the classic Woody Guthrie-style folk blending with Molly’s bluegrass influences on this one, and it’s a great mix of honoring traditional influences but still sounding fresh. Listen to that and the three previous singles (including the one with Billy Strings) below.

Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway also have several upcoming tour dates, including NYC’s Brooklyn Made on April 6 with Bella White. She also plays Stagecoach. All dates are listed below.

Bella White released her debut album Just Like Leaving in 2020 on Rounder Records, and she just put out an acoustic version of the title track. You can stream that below too.
