Molly Tuttle So Long Little Miss Sunshine Limited Vinyl LP

Overview:

Following back-to-back Grammy-winning albums with her band Golden Highway, along with a Best New Artist nomination, Molly Tuttlereleases her new solo album, So Long Little Miss Sunshine, this summer. Recorded in Nashville with producer Jay Joyce (Orville Peck,Miranda Lambert, Lainey Wilson), the fifth full album from the singer, songwriter, and virtuoso guitarist marks a sonic departure from herrecent work and features twelve new songs - eleven originals, including the album’s first single ‘That’s Gonna Leave a Mark’, and onecover, of Icona Pop and Charli xcx’s ‘I Love It’.Tuttle says, “I’ve been wanting to make this record for such a long time. Part of me was scared to do such a big departure, and that wentinto the album title.” Eventually she decided, “‘You know what? I’m just not going to care what people think. I’m going to do what I want.’”She continues, “I wrote ‘That’s Gonna Leave a Mark’ with my friend Kevin Griffin. He has such a brilliant pop sensibility. We reworked it alittle bit last year. It’s fun, sort of sassy, and that guitar part is one of my favorites that I play on the record.”Tuttle’s career has charted a course between honouring bluegrass and stretching its boundaries. One of the most decorated femaleguitarist alive, she was the first woman to win the prestigious International Bluegrass Music Award’s Guitar Player of the Year in 2017, atage twenty-four, and won again the following year, with nominations nearly every year since; she has also won Americana MusicAssociation’s Instrumentalist of the Year award.On her new album - a hybrid of pop, country, rock, and flat-picking, plus one murder ballad - Tuttle goes to a whole new place. Hervirtuoso guitar work takes centre stage on this album more than ever, and for the first time, she introduces her banjo playing into two ofher recordings. “I like to be a bit of a chameleon with my music. Keep people guessing and keep it full of surprises,” she says.So Long Little Miss Sunshine was recorded with drummer/percussionists Jay Bellerose and Fred Eltringham, bassist Byron House, andJoyce on multiple instruments. Ketch Secor (Old Crow Medicine Show) also plays banjo, fiddle, and harmonica, as well as singingharmony; much of the LP was co-written with Secor, who is also Tuttle’s partner. “We spend so much time together, we live together, andanytime I have a song idea, or he has one, it’s just so easy to transition from whatever we’re doing into writing a song.”Tuttle also conceived the artwork for So Long Little Miss Sunshine, which features multiple Mollys, each wearing a different wig except forone with nothing on her head at all. Tuttle has been bald since she was three years old due to the autoimmune condition alopecia areata;she acts as a spokesperson for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation
