CROOKED TREE
Two trees in the forest
One was crooked, one was straight
Crimson bark and emerald needles
Growing day by day
And though they looked so different
They enjoyed the rain the same
Side by side
A chickadee had told them
Of a darkness on the land
The spinning blades that came to visit
Carried by a man
And every other tree would see them
Cut down where they stand
By and by
Oh can’t you see
A crooked tree won’t fit into the mill machine
They’re left to grow wild and free
Oh I’d rather be a crooked tree
The perfect trees were driven
Down the mountain to the mill
They turned them into toothpicks
And twenty dollar bills
It seemed the more the people took
The more they needed still
In the end…
The crooked trees were left there
after all the work was done
Now they go for weeks
And never witness anyone
No one left to tell them if they’re
growing right or wrong
but the whispering wind...
Oh can’t you see
A crooked tree won’t fit into the mill machine
They’re left to grow wild and free
I’d rather be a crooked tree
People say I’m different
And my way of life seems strange
I took the road less traveled
Twists and turns along the way
But like the crooked tree
I’m growin stronger day by day
As the clouds roll by…
A river never wonders
Why it flows around the bend
A mountain doesn’t question
How it rose up from the land
So who am I to wish
I wasn’t just the way I am
Who am I…
Oh can’t you see
A crooked tree won’t fit into the mill machine
They’re left to grow wild and free
Oh I’d rather be a crooked tree
A crooked tree won’t fit into the mill machine
They’re left to grow wild and free
I’d rather be a crooked tree
Oh I’d rather be a crooked tree

I've had alopecia for 20+ years and spent most of that time never laying eyes on another alopecian, either IRL or in the media. I don't think I can properly express with words how moving and empowering it is to see such a talented, beautiful young woman performing openly without her wig. Love Molly. Love the song. And a friendly reminder - representation matters.
well, there's also Matt Lucas, but...uh...he's not everyone's cup of tea, shall we say...
I didn't know it was alopecia. Thought maybe she had undergone chemo.
Love at the end when the crowd is cheering, Molly, with a big smile, picks up her wig and waves it over her head. She has come to terms with it and it's beautiful to see. 😄
Hair is hair. Beauty is beauty. Talent is talent and heart is heart. Three of these matter…at all.
When... Oh whats his name..., Made fun of the guys wife at the academy awards for being bald I was totally confused because, she was so gorgeous! I thought she was rocking a bald head because it looked great!! She looked great- WTF,..!! Same reaction here!! Great looking woman, human, being... we need to move on from all the idiotic baggage we all carry around wittingly or un-wittingly. I'm pretty sure.....
Congratulations to Molly and Golden Highway on their 2023 Grammy win for Best Bluegrass Album.
Oh!!! Didn’t know that! They so deserve it!!! 🤗🤗🤗
Beauty is not your hair. Its your personality. Molly is a beautiful talented lady!!! I could watch and listen to her all day long, hair or not!!
Actually, she is more beautiful without the wig! What a voice! Great backing vocals, excellent solos, excellent musicians and the best lyrics and song in years!
I have watched and listened to Molly's music videos over a hundred times and will probably watch them several hundred more. She is impossibly beautiful and her voice is wonderful. Love you, Molly.
never thought id go from mostly listening to lofi indie rock and metal to bluegrass but it's just so good lol
I just realized today that Molly has been living with a condition with her hair. Although I feel bad for her, it just makes me feel like she is even more awesome, unique, and more special than I realized.
The sliding harmonies kill me! I think Molly, when she flips her wig, gets even more commanding stage presence. Great: tune, message, solos, performances, band!! I am a crooked tree. 🤪
The whole band was really on another level that night!
Wow. Just plain Wow. Starting with Molly tossing her wig and Jerry Douglas's haunting intro, followed by Molly's crisp songwriting, crystal vocals and stupendous flat picking - not forgetting at all her band that seems to meld better each day - what's NOT to like?
I don't know about you, but it truly warms my heart!
Let's not forget Melody Walker with the song-writing credit here too - really great song :)
I love these guys. Too much talent on one stage. Molly for President. She gets us.
I love this song! And having Uncle Jerry play and smile along must have been a pleasurable honour. And Molly, You look gorgeous without the wigs.
Her head is perfect!!❤
Had a chance for free tickets to see the Tuttles play a church hall in Palo Alto a few years back…too lazy to drive over from Santa Cruz, oh well…anyway it’s nice too see that it’s all turned out beautifully!
Lovely song, played by amazing musicians. Molly, you are beautiful; you don't need a wig.
As someone with severe alopecia, this is just everything! Thanks Molly. And of course, incredible music.
Love you, Molly. My daughter and I saw you multiple times in 2022. She ended up all obsessed with your music, and playing the guitar like a maniac. Thank you for being you!! ❤❤❤
Molly is beyond stunning.
That steel string guitar intro is just magical.
Molly is not just a hands-down awesome musician and not just a great, emotive singer either. She's a bad-ass, brave as they come.
What a fantastic group of musicians. Really special.
This song was already one of the best I've heard in many years, but this version takes it to another level. Everyone at the top of their game and then sprinkle in some of that Jerry Douglas magic dust and just wow. Incredible.
"Here Jerry, make this great song even better."
"No problem y'all, check out this intro..." 🎶
@@galacticbob1 Much as I love Jerry shredding solos and his funky jazz-influenced instrumentals, it is absolutely this kind of thing that draws me to him most. And of course his backup is sublime.
I was a "crooked tree" growing up too. Still am in my 70's! 😆 🤣 😂
Im 72, always been a blues picker, accoustic, then recently I came across the lovely young lady, talented, with the voice of an angel.. Molly you have a new fan. WOW.. and can she pick.. and very confident and brave to boot. In the immortal words o my daughter,, "You go girl".
Makes me smile.
I really think this girl lights up everything around her. She is pure light. I love this song. I am also a crooked tree. Thanks god.
Great song great guitarist and a beautiful person and just an amazing performance by all!👏🙂
Agree!!
"Amazing performance by all!" You summed up by thoughts as well. Molly is a beautiful woman and looks great without the wig. She just brings a smile to my heart... and makes this world a better place.
I just love Molly , she is so cool
The beautiful music rolls off of these musicians like glistening tears of an angel. I never would have found this song, but once again Mr. Rather has highlighted an amazingly talented group and a song that touched my soul. Never stop being a crooked tree 💓.
Absolutely wonderful
Magical music from 6 very talented musicians and we’d all rather be a crooked tree
Love the interplay and generosity of the individual players
One of the most beautiful and uplifting songs I’ve ever heard
So much to love about this woman and her music. Never over plays, though she could - tasteful & good. Bless you
Great version. NOBODY does it like Jerry Douglas...
jesus... she's such a genius... a musical force!
Molly! Incredible! Thank
You!
Great tune! Great band!
Almost brings me to tears, such a beautiful song and an amazing performance.
Molly, yow are absolutely STUNNING without the wig! I would never presume to tell you what to do, but . . .
Thank you for sharing your talent with us. and thank you for your vulnerability!
Beautiful Molly
WHAT A BAND! Molly and GHW with the great Jerry Douglas just AMAZING 🫠
Jerry was the producer of the new album that this song came from.
Always glad to see her setting herself free!!!
Molly is pure CLASS. Talent, extreme dedication, wardrobe, and being at peace with herself, and open for others to likewise be inspired.
Thank you Molly!
That's it right there.... That's pure gold right out of the mountain streams. Bravo
"I like trees because they seem resigned to the way they have to live than other things do".... Willa Cather
Thank you for spreading the awareness of alopecia. Our 22 yr old son has alopecia areata. His started when he was quite young, as I begin to write this I think of the irony, he used to always want to wear a hat to cover it up, but as he got older he would only wear out of necessity, to guard from the sun. Now he happens to work at a custom hat factory.
Love this song btw!
Edit - just asked him to remind me, he was 5 when diagnosed, lost all his hair except eye lashes, so kept it from being ‘alopecia universalis’ by age 6
Molly lost hers at 3...
This song is so beautiful it makes me cry!
Jerry's having such fun as well...
Beautiful lady, beautiful voice.
Alopecia areota is no joke. I suffered through it about 20 years ago. For her to snatch off that wig and embrace it in a live performance was monumental! Molly is a badass!
Saw them open for Charlie Crockett last night; legends in the making. What a great band / sound.
Saw her this weekend at Live Oak. Love music and back story!!
Thank you - this brought tears to my eyes. Molly removing her wig for this song was a beautiful act of courage and made the lyrics even more powerful.
The level of musicianship on that stage is just astounding. Amazing.
Love you
Agreed!!
Amen to that
LOVe you Molly!
its so special to see old legends playing with the new age of bluegrass deep respect
Great tallent on the stage and Molly amazing as ever.
A beautiful head is a beautiful head.
I just love this song:) And what an amazing performance!
Molly is so Awesome she is so Beautiful and Gorgeous
Jerry Douglas, master blue-grass player, looks like a proud papa here. Magic!
Mui impressionante. Greetings from Bavaria germany
Fantastic.
This was one of the best songs I've ever seen and heard this group do. And that's saying something because they do everything really well.
What a beautiful, brave, talented lady!!!
Molly, this Band, their Music. THE BEAUTY ❤❤❤
What a beautiful crooked tree!
This woman will be the face of bluegrass for years to come.
If this doesn't touch your heart, you don't have one. G.
This music moves me!
Molly Tuttle&Golden Highway you are totally awesome!!! Love your music.💕💕💕
Hey Molly, wig or not, you are beautiful, and that's not even the main point, eh, the music is awesome and fills our hearts with joy!
Sitting in a Walmart parking lot balling my eyes out. PAWFULL! ! LAWD, LAWD PAWFULL! !
Still beautiful the same!
Que voz e tudo de bom,linda mesmo...
Molly, Thanks you for taking your wig off! It helps all of us wig wearers to not be ashamed. You own it!!!
Love that song, beautiful performance from a fine band of musicians 👏
I would never had guessed she had a wig on. It fits her perfect
This song is a real gift. Thank you for writing and sharing it, Molly. Beautifully done by all.
❤️❤️❤️ amazing amazing amazing
Such a great track, and thank you for mic'ing up the bass well to fill out the bottom end of the live recording!
Love Shelby's vocals. It ads that extra spice to Molly's perfect voice.
The Civil Wars opened my eyes to other music. I'm a classic rock person first but this music now I just love as much these days. A few years ago I found Molly, Ruth Moody (via The Fretless and their collab WaterBound) and her band The Wailin' Jennys, and Sarah Jarosz just name a few. I love their music. It just puts me in a different place when I listen to them. Thank you for the beautiful music.
Check out AJ Lee and Blue Summit with Molly's brother Sully and some other great musicians. AJ used to perform with Molly & Sully when they were kids.
The Civil Wars was a great introduction, shame they took their name a bit too seriously.
Molly Tuttle: Such a gifted spirit.
What a song you guys and girls. The band is great...... Molly you are great. Keep us posted.
fabulous song, phenominal musicianship. I have been to the venue and it is an incredible place.
What a girl, what musicianship. Come back to Glasgow (Scotland) at the earliest opportunity?
Proper playin'
Outstanding. Absolutely magnificent. It doesn't get any better than this. Thank you.
What a great tune! The Old Guard ushering in the New Guard….My ears and heart soar😊!
Good for you. That was brave. Your talent far surpasses anything physical. Keep on keepin on.
Love your music Molly!!! Kudos to you for being so brave with taking off your wig. Makes me have even more admiration for you!
Beautiful
An amazing performance by all.
And Molly, so very talented, and a picture of beauty as always.
Hi Molly Angel! This one made me smile! Molly and her golden gang are very impressive. They blend together so well.Also that’s a well written song miss Molly! I’m happy for you baby and I love you!🙂❤️⭐️🐅🌺🐝🌅🥂🍾🕊🦋🕊
That's my girl.Jerry fits right in and the band, great as always
Lovely amazing Molly, her eyes and spirit make me sigh with loy
This is an amazing song. Thank you
Molly's killing it one of the best newer bands in the scene. I'm talking Golden Hiighway. I've been a fan since Take the Journey. Bobcat kills it.
Beautiful ❤

Hair or no hair - Molly you are one beautiful woman - cheers to you xo
