Overview of Molly Tuttle's New Album

On the heels of two Grammy-winning albums in succession, with her band Golden Highway 2022's Crooked Tree and 2023's City of Gold plus a nomination for Best New Artist, Molly Tuttle returns with a solo album that's her most dazzling to date: So Long Little Miss Sunshine. Recorded in Nashville with producer Jay Joyce (Orville Peck, Miranda Lambert, Lainey Wilson, Eric Church, Cage the Elephant), the fifth full album from the California-born, Nashville-based singer, songwriter, and virtuoso guitarist features twelve new songs—eleven originals and one highly unexpected cover of Icona Pop and Charli XCX's I Love It.

Tuttle's Musical Journey

Tuttle's career, which began at age fifteen, has charted a course between honoring bluegrass and stretching its boundaries. On this album—a hybrid of pop, country, rock, and flat-picking, plus one murder ballad—she goes to a whole new place. Her stunning guitar work is more up-front on this album than ever before. (One of the most decorated female guitarists alive, Tuttle was the first woman to win the prestigious International Bluegrass Music Awards Guitar Player of the Year in 2017, at age twenty-four, and won again the following year, with nominations nearly every year since; she has also won Americana Music Association's Instrumentalist of the Year award.)

New Musical Elements

So Long Little Miss Sunshine also features Tuttle playing banjo, something she's never done on one of her albums before. "I like to be a bit of a chameleon with my music," she says. "Keep people guessing and keep it full of surprises." Tuttle has been slowly building this collection of songs over the last five years, while also writing and releasing two hugely successful albums and a six-song EP (last year's Into the Wild) and playing more than 100 shows each year with Golden Highway. Along the way she'd send songs to Joyce, who she first started talking to about collaborating on the album a few years ago.

Album Concept and Recording

"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 went into the album title So Long Little Miss Sunshine. It's like, 'You know what? I'm just not going to care what people think. I'm going to do what I want.'” The album was recorded with a group of musicians that includes drummer/percussionists Jay Bellerose and Fred Eltringham, bassist Byron House, and Joyce on multiple instruments. Ketch Secor (Old Crow Medicine Show) also plays banjo, fiddle, and harmonica, as well as singing harmony.

Artwork and Advocacy

Tuttle also conceived the artwork for So Long Little Miss Sunshine, which features multiple Mollys, each wearing a different wig except for one with nothing on her head at all. ("I probably own as many wigs as I own guitars," she says.) 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.
