Thomm Jutz - "Work"


Thomm Jutz moved to Nashville 8 years ago and has since then produced well over 50 records for other artists (including Nanci Griffith, Otis Gibbs, European start Marc Marshall,etc), landed a publishing deal with renowned publishing company Brumley Music, toured extensively all over the world and has written over 300 songs.

His earthy sounding new album "Work" features 15 of these songs

Jutz's guitar playing is featured front, left and center. There's no guitar pyrotechnics here, his playing is subtle and always makes the song the star of the show, a fact that made Jutz the guitarist of choice for some of Americana music's finest like Nanci Griffith, Mary Gauthier, David Olney, Steve Young, etc...

Although by no means a concept album, images and themes from the American South are running through almost all of Jutz's songs on this record.
Jimmie Rodgers, Huck Finn and Aunt Polly, the New Orleans and Northeastern Railroad and the mighty Mississippi river, Alabama fields and Carolina sands and the faith of an old Georgia mountain woman - they all have a place and a voice in the landscape of this record.

Supported by a cast of great Nashville's musicians, drummers Pat McInerney, Dion Clay and Lynn Williams, Mark Fain and JT Brown on bass, Fats Kaplin and Robby Turner on Steel and Shadd Cobb on Fiddle, and last but not least his songwriting partner Peter Cronin on harmony vocals, Jutz moves effortlessly between Country and
Roots Rock sounds to Bluegrass and aggressive 4 piece rock band material.

After 22 years as a sideman Jutz is taking center stage with a smart but understated record for mature people.
