“I’m excited for everyone to hear 'The Highway Knows,' because it’s one of my favorite songs on the new record," Molly Tuttle says of the new single from her upcoming album, So Long Little Miss Sunshine. "I had written the finger-picked guitar part that you hear in the chorus a few years ago, and finally last year, Ketch Secor and I dug up the voice memo of that guitar scrap and wrote words to it. This song is all about finding the person you want to journey through life with." You can watch the video for the song, directed by Fletcher Moore, here. And tune in to see Tuttle perform it on CBS Saturday Morning this weekend.
Grammy Award–winning singer, songwriter, and guitarist Molly Tuttle has released “The Highway Knows,” the new single from her upcoming solo album, So Long Little Miss Sunshine, due August 15 on Nonesuch, along with a video for it directed by Fletcher Moore in Nashville. You can watch it below. And tune in to see Tuttle perform the song on CBS Saturday Morning this Saturday, July 12, at 7am ET on CBS.
“I’m excited for everyone to hear 'The Highway Knows,' because it’s one of my favorite songs on the new record," Tuttle says. "I had written the finger-picked guitar part that you hear in the chorus a few years ago, and finally last year, Ketch Secor and I dug up the voice memo of that guitar scrap and wrote words to it. This song is all about finding the person you want to journey through life with. The track came to life once Jay Joyce produced the sprawling guitar solo section that I improvised over midway through, which brought it to a higher peak dynamically. I think this song is reflective of a lot of the album stylistically. We wove together different genres and sounds, and ended up with something that I’m really proud of."
So Long Little Miss Sunshine, recorded in Nashville with producer Jay Joyce, marks a sonic departure from her recent work. The album of eleven originals and one cover (Icona Pop and Charli xcx’s “I Love It”) is a hybrid of pop, country, rock, and flat-picking, plus a murder ballad. Her virtuoso guitar work takes center stage on this album more than ever, and for the first time, she introduces her banjo playing into two of her recordings. You can pre-order the album here.
