MySpace Artist Of The Week: Jeff Tuttle
Jeff Tuttle has a refreshingly older sound to his music, from his vocals to the instruments backing him up. Upon first glance he reminded me of a slightly older Joe Diffie and his sound is similar as well, mostly in that they can both be considered New Traditionalists. The comparisons stop there, Tuttle has a deeper, more gravelly voice to him. I can definitely relate to the title track from his newest album, Living Like A Millionaire (Ain’t Got A Dime), which I’ll be checking out some more in the next few weeks. I’ll let you know what I think about the whole album once I have the time to properly review it. In the mean time, here’s some info from Jeff’s profile:
If you like traditional country music then you’re going to want to get Jeff’s new CD, Living Like A Millionaire (Ain’t Got A Dime). Not only is Jeff a country music recording artist, but a country music fan with a deep respect for traditional country music. Born and raised in Monroe Michigan, Jeff began singing country music in 1989. Jeff now lives in Hendersonville, TN and releases his first 12 song CD Livin’ Like A Millionaire (Ain’t Got A Dime) recorded in Nashville and produced by Grammy Award winning producer Larry Butler (Kenny Rogers, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson) and Steve Thomas and Grammy Award winning producer Terry Shelton (Billy Ray Cyrus).
Jeff has a segment of one of his performances up on YouTube if anyone wants to watch. The audio quality is horrible, but you can get a sense of how he performs live.
Otherwise, be sure to check out Jeff Tuttle’s MySpace, listen to his music, and let us know what you think.

Free Music Downloads: If you’ve only recently come to country music, or have never delved past the genre’s surface and it’s most famous names, you may not have heard of Tom Russell. That’s a shame, and The 9513’s Free Music series is here to help set you down the right path.
Martina McBride - “Ride” Catchy, but a little low on cogency–not to mention originality. And it essentially resolves into the same kind of positive “message song” that has defined so much of McBride’s recent work.
Richie McDonald - “How Do I Just Stop” So gloriously simple and unequivocally lackluster that people of every political persuasion should rejoice in the opportunity to come together and have a hearty laugh at its expense.
Donnie Vondra - “If I Didn’t Love You” Combinining a golden trifecta of country music—steel guitar, fiddle and a strong, twangy vocal—"If I Didn't Love You" pulls together a sweet, toe-tapping ditty reminiscent of Marty Raybon-era Shenandoah.
Lance Miller - “Bacon Frying” A charming country song that is beautiful for its simplicity, a musical remnant from a time when songwriters understood that often the best thing to do is just get out of the song’s way.
John Rich - “Another You” For a guy who is supposed to be a genius songwriter, John Rich sure does seem to be running out of ideas. 
George Ducas - “Walk Through This World” Ducas banks on the success of recent artists’ pleasantly bland lyrics and agreeable instrumentation for his first release with WhiteStar Nashville.
Forgotten Artists: Cal Smith - When the Florida Sunshine Opry (Eustis, FL) booked its first “name” (non-local) act back in 1999, the act they chose was Cal Smith. No wonder, since Cal is an excellent singer, musician, storyteller and showman. | View more artists featured in Paul W. Dennis' recurring "Forgotten Artists" feature »
