Song Review: Twisted Pine - “Peaches En Regalia” (Live)

Thanks to Twisted Pine, we now know bluegrass belongs in Zappa music.

Performing in Vermont in 2024, the quintet transformed Frank Zappa’s psycho-jazz instrumental “Peaches En Regalia” into mountain music where flute tandems with mandolin and fiddle and handles the melody while double bass and acoustic guitar hold down the rhythm.

The at-first-glance-unnatural twist is in practice 100-percent natural. These “Peaches” are thus testament not only to Twisted Pine’s arranging and executing chops but also to the uncommon flexibility of Zappa’s compositions.

'Cause most of us are bitter over someone

Setting fire to our insides for fun

To distract our hearts from ever missing them

But I'm forever missing him

I totally didn't expect Twisted Pine's cover of Blondie's "Heart of Glass" to rank so high up on my list, but then I realized it's because it was initially a contender for my fic's most recent chapter title ("The Heart of Rock and Roll" won out in the end).
