Just like gold fever, music has always captivated me, captured my heart, and driven me to great lengths to explore its depths. I’ll never forget the dusty hills and the grizzled old miner who showed us the nugget around his neck.
Reflecting on the project, Tuttle shares, “When I was a kid, we took a field trip to Caloma, CA to learn about the gold rush. In addition to Tuttle and Secor, Mason Via also co-wrote “Down Home Dispensary,” while Melody Walker and Shelby Means co-wrote “Next Rodeo.” These 13 tracks-mostly written by Tuttle and Ketch Secor (Old Crow Medicine Show)-capture the electric energy of band’s live shows by highlighting each member's musical strengths. Produced by Tuttle and Jerry Douglas and recorded at Nashville’s Sound Emporium Studios, City of Gold was inspired by Tuttle’s constant touring with Golden Highway these past few years, during which they have grown together as musicians and performers, cohering as a band. You can watch the video here:Ĭity of Gold follows Tuttle’s acclaimed 2022 record, Crooked Tree, which won Best Bluegrass Album at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards and led NPR Music to call her “a female flat picker extraordinaire with agility, speed and elegance who distinctively brings American roots music into the spotlight,” adding that the album “marries the improvisatory solos of traditional bluegrass with singer-songwriter sophistication.” Ahead of the release, the lead track, “El Dorado,” debuted today. Grammy Award–winning singer, songwriter, and musician Molly Tuttle and her band, Golden Highway, will release their new album, City of Gold, July 21, via Nonesuch Records.
