His phrasing on this ode to illegal drink suggests George Jones at his wooziest. He revives the shoulda-been hit'Tennessee Tea, a tune he wrote in his days with Special Edition, and takes it at a faster than light tempo. The song is a take on divorce with the kind of over the top emotion that often gives country a bad name, but Diffie's understated vocals and Jeremy Abshire's weeping fiddle strike the perfect balance between pathos and despair. With Grammy-winning producer and engineer Luke Wooten at his side, Diffie assembled an impressive cast of super pickers like Rhonda Vincent, Alecia Nugent, Rob Ickes, and the Grascals, who add their chops to a new tune penned by Diffie and pal Shawn Camp, It's Raining on Her Rubber Dolly Now.
When Rounder asked him if he'd like to make a bluegrass album he jumped at the chance. He also spent six years touring and recording with a bluegrass band called Special Edition. He was known as a hit songwriter before he started his career as a country music singer, but before that he played in rock bands and gospel groups.
