Together since 2001, and a continuous presence in the music's true home of Southwest Virginia, the Twigs represent the actively working evolution of the traditions-learning songs from other locals, playing dances at the Floyd Country Store, etc-without retro-artifice or nostalgia. The ragged-but-right performances and recording (and Sally Ann Morgan's perfect cover design) sit at the ideal intersection of DIY \/ \"underground\" and local string-sound values. On Friend's Peace, the band travels a range of styles, from the lovely harmony on the trad-classic \"Moonshiner\" to the racing fiddle \/ guitar \/ banjo on the \"Money Musk\" medley. Mixed in with the traditional songs are several perfectly-placed original tunes, including Mike Gangloff's keening \"Cara's Waltz\" and Isak Howell's solo guitar spotlight on \"Barnswallow.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack Listing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eMoonshiner    \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eMoney Musk\/Icy Mountain\/ Tommy Hawk    \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eCara's Waltz    \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eSheets Of Rain, Streams Of Sun    \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eWill You Miss Me When I'm Gone?    \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eRoan Mountain Sally Ann    \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eKnight On The Road    \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eBarnswallow    \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eSt. Valentine's March    \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eElliston Joy    \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eDan Friend's Piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Waiting Room Records","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":44282068631667,"sku":null,"price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0082\/4315\/0908\/files\/R-18497083-1621636091-2984.jpg?v=1770509513","url":"https:\/\/waitingroomrecords.com\/products\/black-twig-pickers-friends-place","provider":"Waiting Room Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
