1/13/2025 AJ Lee & Blue Summit (from the album City of GlassAJ Lee & Blue Summit (from the album City of Glass available on AJ Lee & Blue Summit/Signature Sounds Recordings)
Adding the sonic bounty of West Coast sounds and California Folk, AJ Lee & Blue Summit blend elements and touches of Bluegrass, Country Blues, Rock-loving rhythms, Americana, and Folk Rock into a heady brew of rhythms and intuitive jams on City of Glass, their latest release. A cover of Harlan Howard’s “He Called Me Baby” leans heavily into the Blues side of Bluegrass as a powerful backbeat sparks dancing feet for the title track while City of Glasstaps its foot to “Toys” and quiets to a hush for the reverie of “I Still Think of Her”. AJ Lee & Blue Summit guide the diversity of sound confidently on the album, the band a musical thread connecting the rhythms and rhymes. Based in Santa Cruz, California, AJ Lee & Blue Summit met as teenagers for jams at Bluegrass Festivals in Northern California. The quartet (AJ Lee – mandolin, Sullivan Tuttle (guitar), Scott Gates (guitar), Jan Purat (fiddle)) dedicate City of Glass to their home state California. The sing of Kern County with “Bakersfield Clay”, strum the memories of farm country for “Bedside Window”, and are joined by Rainbow Girls for nod to their beach homebase in “Seaside Town”. Guests for the recording created a family reunion when Molly Tuttle stopped by the studio lending vocals to “I Can’t Find You at All”, a tune written by the siblings dad, Jack Tuttle. For the song, Jack Tuttle shared that ‘after working a bit on lyrics for my daughter Molly’s unfinished song called ‘Don’t Try to Find Me’, I decided to flip the script and write one from the other viewpoint. I guess, in modern parlance, it’s a song about being ghosted’. Produced by Lech Wierzynski (The California Honeydrops), City of Glassshowcases AJ Lee & Blue Summit as a melting pot of Golden State sounds, opening on the echo of Celtic tones with “Hillside”, kicking up saw dust for the honky tonk beat of “Solicitor Man”, and exiting on the tender touch of “All I Know”.
