With a spirited nod to bluegrass traditions, Leftover Salmon shares their new single Twisted Pine, featuring legendary vocalist Del McCoury. Marrying Drew Emmitt’s warm songwriting with Del McCoury’s unmatched lonesome tenor, “Twisted Pine” feels like a campfire classic in the making, woven with mandolin twang, heartfelt harmonies, and the passage of time. As Leftover Salmon celebrates 35 years of musical camaraderie, this collaboration perfectly captures their enduring love for roots music and community. Drew Emmitt shares
Del McCoury and the Del McCoury Band are very near and dear to our hearts. Singing with Del has been a highlight of my career; he’s simply the best bluegrass singer on the planet.
Vince Herman echoes the sentiment, adding:
Having Del play with us is a dream come true. He’s not only a band leader of the best bluegrass band, but the nicest person on Earth too.
“Twisted Pine” follows the release of Big Wheel,” both tracks showcasing the band's remarkable ability to honor tradition while carving new musical trails. The track serves as a heartfelt preview of the band’s upcoming album, Let’s Party About It, due May 9 via Compass Records. Leftover Salmon is in full celebration mode, preparing for their iconic 35th anniversary concert at Red Rocks Amphitheatre on May 26, where they'll be joined by the Kitchen Dwellers, Clay Street Unit, and special guests like Bill Payne, Laurie Lewis, and Jason Carter.
