That approach is expanded upon with <i>It Calls On Me<\/i>, a disc that continues to mine the music of fifty years ago for its inspiration. (Tuttle even continues the 1960s approach of releasing albums that are over in a half hour or so.) The songs on <i>It Calls On Me<\/i> are cast from the same mold as those of its predecessor, but with sharper melodic approach. If you miss the 1960s, a spin of <i>It Calls On Me<\/i> just might take you there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>File next to: Tame Impala, Plasticland, Starling Electric On his self-titled 2014 debut, Doug Tuttle staked out his musical territory: a shimmering, woozy, yet highly tuneful 21st century take on [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10379,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[33,49,57,62,65],"tags":[2643],"class_list":["post-10378","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-garage","category-new-release","category-psych","category-rawk","category-review","tag-doug-tuttle","cat-33-id","cat-49-id","cat-57-id","cat-62-id","cat-65-id","has_thumb"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10378","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10378"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10378\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10483,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10378\/revisions\/10483"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10379"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10378"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10378"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10378"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
