Crooked Still

简介Crooked Still，自称为“另类兰草风格”（ alternative bluegrass band ）的一个年轻组合。2004年在美国波士顿成立，现有成员5名。主唱Aoife O'Donovan，班卓琴演奏Dr. Gregory Liszt，贝斯手Corey DiMario，大提琴手Tristan Clarridge 和小提琴手Brittany Haas。前成员大提琴手Rushad Eggleston。

音乐风格抛弃了吉他贝斯鼓，还能叫乡村吗？以提琴为基调，时常点缀着班卓的繁复段落，Crooked Still就是这样一支非典型女声乡村乐队，嫁接出来的音乐风格不一定都合适，不过这次提琴加班卓的味道还是相当优秀的。

和传统的兰草民谣相比，Crooked Still的音乐更精致人文，特别是器乐的演奏非常棒，音乐素质确实功底不凡。舒缓的大提琴，温柔的女声，一丝甜意流淌到心中，难得有这种抒情的乐曲让人安静下来。
