Molly Tuttle has released a video for "Old Me (New Wig)," a song she co-wrote with Ketch Secor on her acclaimed new album, So Long Little Miss Sunshine. You can watch the video, directed by Fletcher Moore, here. "Virtuoso guitar picking crops up on every song," says the UK's Sunday Times, naming So Long Little Miss Sunshine its Album of the Week. "It’s wonderfully uplifting." The Financial Times calls it "a deftly paced blend of bluegrass-style storytelling and metaphor, and autobiographical detail. She moves forward with glorious attitude, without relinquishing her down-home roots." Holler says the album "strikes an unexpectedly deep chord, bringing bluegrass into a contemporary realm that’s full of intensely relatable experiences of girlhood, growth and gaining self-confidence."

“This started off as writing a break-up song. We wanted every line to be kind of a zinger. And then we got to the chorus, and it turned into a song about leaving all these things behind that don’t serve you anymore. Parts of yourself that really aren’t in your best interest, like low self-esteem, or not feeling confident,” Tuttle explains. “That is another theme of the record that inspired the album title and the cover art. Those are all things I’ve struggled with through the years—just feeling like an impostor, like I wasn’t good enough. And I like singing this song because there are days I’m still telling myself to leave that stuff behind.”
"Molly Tuttle is one of the best young guitarists in the business," NPR's All Songs Considered host Stephen Thompson says on the show's latest "Best New Albums" episode. "This thing is magical. It is so good ... a really magnificent album." The Sunday Times of London has made So Long Little Miss Sunshine its Album of the Week, saying in its four-star review: "Virtuoso guitar picking crops up on every song ... This is an album of new beginnings and new directions, and it’s wonderfully uplifting." The Financial Times, in its four-star review, calls it "a deftly paced blend of bluegrass-style storytelling and metaphor, and autobiographical detail. [Tuttle] moves forward with glorious attitude, without relinquishing her down-home roots." Holler says: “So Long Little Miss Sunshine strikes an unexpectedly deep chord, bringing bluegrass into a contemporary realm that’s full of intensely relatable experiences of girlhood, growth and gaining self-confidence."
