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.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Moonshiner \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Money Musk\/Icy Mountain\/Tommy Hawk \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Cara's Waltz \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Sheets of Rain, Streams of Sun \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Will You Miss Me When I'm Gone? \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Roan Mountain Sally Ann \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Knight on the Road \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Barnswallow \u003cbr\u003e1.9 St. Valentine's \u003cbr\u003e1.10 March Elliston Joy \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Dan Friend's Piece\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
