Joe Diffie

Joe Logan Diffie was born in Tulsa , Oklahoma. While living most of his youth in Oklahoma, he also lived for a short while in Texas, Washington state, and Wisconsin. He was immersed in music from a young age. His first public performance came in his aunt's country band when he was only four. It was songwriting, interestingly enough, that lured Diffie to Nashville after his song "Love On The Rocks" was recorded by Hank Thompson. He's had many of his compositions recorded by other artists including his latest number one tune "My Give A Damn's Busted," recorded by JoDee Messina. The likes of Tim McGraw, Tracy Lawrence, Doug Stone, Charlie Pride, Travis Tritt, and many others have also recorded songs written by Diffie.Diffie found work in the Nashville-area Gibson guitar plant and soon established himself as one of Music Row's top demo singers. "When I first came to Nashville I sang a lot of demo recordings--songs that would be pitched to other artists," he explains. "I had worked in a foundry in Oklahoma , and singing for a living seemed like a piece of heaven. I took it very seriously, making sure I told each song's story the way I thought the songwriter intended."I'd written a few songs that had been recorded," he continues. "Holly Dunn recorded my song, 'There Goes My Heart Again,' and when I heard her version it confirmed that her interpretation of my lyrics was what made it a hit. So I've always learned the 'story' before I sing the song."That innate sense of phrase and meaning, that relentless attention to detail, served Diffie well as he made the transition from demo singer to major label recording artist. Early hits including "Home," "If You Want Me To," "If The Devil Danced In Empty Pockets," and "New Way To Light Up An Old Flame" established Diffie as, arguably, country music's foremost balladeer.As his career progressed, Joe began flashing a more playful side on up-tempo smashes like "John Deere Green," "Third Rock From The Sun," "Bigger Than The Beatles" and "Prop Me Up Beside The Jukebox (If I Die)." Over the course of the nineties, Diffie used his steady radio success to build a solid fan base while notching his belt with 12 number one songs, 17 top 10 hits, two platinum albums and two gold albums. He is busy as ever, constantly touring and is in the process of recording a new project that should be out soon. Come out and catch a show or join Joe's fan club and get to meet him!
