"Back in July, Canada-based singer-songwriter Talise released her beautifully crafted debut EP 'Western Pine,' and the record’s title track is an absolute treat. The whimsical atmosphere of this folk song immediately transports the listener to the mysterious old times. The gourd banjo and Appalachian fiddle weave a spellbinding canvas of sound. Talise’s pure, tender vocals express her deep connection with nature. Sweet and inspiring, 'Western Pine' shines with its rare charm."

"The new EP, Western Pine, from banjo-playing, folk-standard-loving, country-soul singer- songwriter, Talise will let you time travel. With songs, sounds, instruments, and themes that outlive eras, her heartfelt approach to song craft reminds us about the importance of real-world musical talent and what it means to craft a classic in 2024."
Ear To The ground music
"Something about old time instruments provides a warmth to a sound that I especially appreciate. I can hear that sound with this new song from Talise. It has an understated quality to it that makes it stand out from the crowd. Any time I listen to a song that sounds like it would be at home in a Carter Family set, I’m definitely interested. I appreciate how Talise sings with a timeless style. The natural imagery of the western pine and the authenticity of the instrumentation makes this song feel quite genuine."
