    Tuttle’s supple voice, nimble award winning guitar chops and obvious love for the material carries these versions.

    In all, far more touching than we've been allowed. [Oct 2020, p.92]

    Yes, we'd rather be with Tuttle in person. This disc offers a pleasurable substitute until the real thing comes around again.

    This inventive collection of songs crosses genres decades, from iconic artists spanning FKA Twigs (“Mirrored Heart”), to Cat Stevens (“How Can I Tell You”), Rancid (“Olympia, WA”), to Karen Dalton (“Something’s On Your Mind”), to the Stones (“She’s a Rainbow’) and The Grateful Dead (“Standing on the Moon”) all cohesively tied by Tuttle’s clear voice, astonishing range, and stellar guitar playing.

    Aptly named, ...But I'd Rather Be with You's emotional throughline is loneliness, and Tuttle does the feeling justice on a faithful rendition of Cat Stevens' "How Can I Tell You," which brings affairs to a close with subtle potency.

    Rancid's "Olympia, WA" sounds like an Americana roadtrip rebel anthem with Old Crow Medicine Show's Ketch Secor in the passenger seat; Harry Styles' "Sunflower, Vol. 6" gets redone as acoustic lovestruck magic. [Oct 2020, p.39]
