The EP features 6 tracks, including the title track about a longing for connection with nature. I know it's an EP and not an LP, but what's a best album of the year list without a Molly Tuttle album of SOME kind?
  • Metacritic Score: NA (Album of the Year has it at 76).

  • Trivia Bonus: Tuttle is the first woman in the history of the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) to win Guitar Player of the Year, an award she achieved twice (2017 & 2018). Saw her live last year with my godson Tybee, in Albertville, Alabama (no, really!).
