When you're ready

"Bluegrass is a niche genre, and it's hard to blame someone for wanting to reach a larger audience. But what drew people to Tuttle's music to begin with was that delightfully dissonant combination of sweet singing and monster-shredder guitar playing, and that's just not what this album delivers. Here's hoping Tuttle plays to her base next time around, sheds the unnecessary trimmings, and makes an album worthy of the bluegrass guitar goddess she is".

"The debut solo LP from the virtuosic multi-instrumentalist and International Bluegrass Music Association's Guitar Player of the Year, When You're Ready finds the sweet spot between technical prowess and emotional acuity. Tuttle is a gifted player whose flatpicking, claw hammer, and cross-picking guitar and banjo skills have made her an in-demand collaborator over the years; she spent her formative days picking alongside her father in the family bluegrass ensemble the Tuttles".
