The songs span from breakdowns to ballads, fairytales and fiddle tunes, from Yosemite up to the Gold Country and out beyond the mountains. Just like them, on this album we chart some new territory along some old familiar ground. On the road and in the studio, we are inspired by artists such as John Hartford, Gillian Welch and Peter Rowan to name a few, whose records are like family albums to us. ![]() I made this record with my band Golden Highway after playing over 100 shows across the country last year. On my new album I dug deep as a songwriter (with Ketch Secor) and co-producer (with Jerry Douglas) and surfaced with a record that celebrates the music of my heart, my life, the land where I grew up, and the stories I heard along the way. 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 Coloma, CA to learn about the gold rush. Written by Tuttle and Ketch Secor (Old Crow Medicine Show), these 13 tracks capture the electric energy of the band’s live shows by highlighting each members’ musical strengths.
