Joe Diffie
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joe Diffie (born December 28, 1958, in Tulsa, Oklahoma) is an American country musician.
He was raised in Velma, Oklahoma. He worked in a foundry while playing local nightclubs in Oklahoma and moved to Nashville in 1986 to work for Gibson Guitar Corporation. During this time he also worked as a demo singer in Nashville and was discovered through one of the demos played for a record executive. His first album arrived in 1990. Although his first single, "Home", was a ballad, Joe relied more frequently on novelty tunes throughout most of his career. Toward the end of the 1990s, Diffie lost his chart momentum and left Epic Records following his 2001 album, In Another World. Afterward, he released Tougher Than Nails on the Broken Bow Records label, but has since left Broken Bow as well.
