Boston’s Twisted Pine are back with their first new album in four years, ‘Love Your Mind,’ which is out on October 18th. Twisted Pine started out a decade ago as a progressive-Bluegrass band, and whilst they are still recognisable Bluegrass they’ve also found room for elements of buoyant pop and delicate folk, and a hootenanny twang. Part of the scene that birthed former label mates Lake Street Dive, the band are Kathleen Parks on fiddle and lead vocals, Dan Bui on mandolin, Chris Sartori on bass, and Anh Phung on flute.
Kathleen Parks says of this song: “I hadn’t spent much time in Texas, and I thought it would just be sweltering, but in the spring it’s dry and there are so many wildflowers on the side of a highway, and big, beautiful rose bushes called Knockouts. I wrote this at 2am, after the plane ride home from Texas. The whole run there was so positive after a period of self-doubt. I was feeling really proud of our band and all the years we’ve grown together, side by side, constantly working together, teaching each other, flowering through the night.”
