That dobro intro is by the great Jerry Douglas. Generally considered the top dobro player living. He also produced Molly’s album that included this song

Thanks so much Jeff for this super request. I'm a fan of Molly's and I've always loved this song from the first time I heard it. I relate to sentiment in the lyric and the instrumentation is top drawer. Thanks Don for the outstanding reaction!! And yes 9.3 indeed!!!

Molly Tuttle was born on January 14, 1993 in Santa Clara, California and raised in Palo Alto, California. She is an American vocalist, songwriter, banjo player and guitarist, recording artist and teacher in the bluegrass tradition. At the age of 3, Molly was diagnosed with the auto immune disease alopecia areata. Tuttle began playing guitar at the age of 8 and played onstage with her father Jack Tuttle, a bluegrass multi-instrumentalist and instructor. In 2017, Tuttle was the first woman to win the International Bluegrass Music Association’s Guitar Player of the Year award. In 2018 she won the award again, along with being named the Americana Music Association’s Instrumentalist of the Year. Tuttle won the Best Bluegrass Album and received a nomination for the all-genre Best New Artist award at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards. Molly wrote this song about her experience of loosing her hair, and we all may look different we all need and enjoy the same things in life. To be honest, I can relate to this song too. Having been diagnosed with a rare neurological disease at a young age I was a 'crookd tree' having to do things my own way. Growing up this way has made me stronger Thanks Don for the great reaction.

@jcat899 That is a tremendous recap, Jeff--thank you for the info about Molly, as well as your own take on the song and what it's meant to you. Keep up the good fight, my friend!

Not only did Molly win the IBMA Guitar Player of The Year, twice; she is the only woman ever nominated. Bronwyn Keith-Hynes, who plays fiddle in Golden Highway, was last year's Fiddle Player of The Year too.

From the Zhuangzi: “Carpenter Shih went to Ch’i and, when he got to Crooked Shaft, he saw a serrate oak standing by the village shrine. It was broad enough to shelter several thousand oxen and measured a hundred spans around, towering above the hills. The lowest branches were eighty feet from the ground, and a dozen or so of them could have been made into boats. There were so many sightseers that the place looked like a fair, but the carpenter didn’t even glance around and went on his way without stopping. His apprentice stood staring for a long time and then ran after Carpenter Shih and said, “Since I first took up my ax and followed you, Master, I have never seen timber as beautiful as this. But you don’t even bother to look, and go right on without stopping. Why is that?” “Forget it-say no more!” said the carpenter. “It’s a worthless tree! Make boats out of it and they’d sink; make coffins and they’d rot in no time; make vessels and they’d break at once. Use it for doors and it would sweat sap like pine; use it for posts and the worms would eat them up. It’s not a timber tree-there’s nothing it can be used for. That’s how it got to be that old!” After Carpenter Shih had returned home, the oak tree appeared to him in a dream and said, “What are you comparing me with? Are you comparing me with those useful trees? The cherry apple, the pear, the orange, the citron, the rest of those fructiferous trees and shrubs-as soon as their fruit is ripe, they are torn apart and subjected to abuse. Their big limbs are broken off, their little limbs are yanked around. Their utility makes life miserable for them, and so they don’t get to finish out the years Heaven gave them, but are cut off in mid-journey. They bring it on themselves-the pulling and tearing of the common mob. And it’s the same way with all other things. “As for me, I’ve been trying a long time to be of no use, and though I almost died, I’ve finally got it. This is of great use to me. If I had been of some use, would I ever have grown this large? Moreover, you and I are both of us things. What’s the point of this-things condemning things? You, a worthless man about to die-how do you know I’m a worthless tree?”

@dennissmathers898 I did the video a while ago so the cause of the video not being in the reaction isn't fresh in my mind, but it typically means the video was blocked and I was only allowed to use the audio. It's frustrating for me, too.
