Review:
A good album from a stunning guitarist
Molly Tuttle is an amazing guitarist; this is a good album but I’m
not sure it really shows off her extraordinary talent to the full.
When You’re Ready
is a good album of well crafted, nicely varied songs. Molly sings
them very well and the band and production are also good. The thing
is, I saw her live with Transatlantic Sessions and then again at Bush
Hall very recently and she is just phenomenal. Great stage presence,
terrific vocal delivery and some guitar work which is just
breathtaking. She was the first woman to win Bluegrass Guitarist Of
The Year and it was a very well deserved award; some of her playing
would have done Doc Watson proud and I that’s about the highest
praise I can give. Look on YouTube for her playing White
Freightliner Blues and you’ll see what I mean.
So, this is a good
album which is well worth hearing and which I listen to with
pleasure, but if you get the chance to see her live, grab it with
both hands. Molly Tuttle is something really special.
