MOLLY TUTTLE IS READY TO “TAKE THE JOURNEY”

“I sat down with Sarah Siskind one afternoon in East Nashville and we wrote this song,” Tuttle told Rolling Stone Country. “We wanted to write a song with a modal feel, and as we were writing I started messing around with a claw hammer guitar part in a modal G tuning. To me this song is about the Hero’s Journey, a story arc that we see in books and movies. I think everyone has some form of Hero’s Journey in their own lives as well.”
