Details

Description

Joe Logan Diffie was born December 28, 1958 in Tulsa, Oklahoma and sadly passed away on March 29, 2020 in Nashville, Tennessee.🙏

Joe Diffie was a Country music singer and songwriter.🎶
Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma to a musical family, Diffie honed his skills in bluegrass and gospel groups like Special Edition and Higher Purpose. In the mid-1980s, he worked as a demo singer before signing with Epic Records in 1990. Diffie was a prominent country music artist throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, known for songs about love and heartache.

Raised in Velma, Oklahoma, Diffie worked in a foundry while playing local nightclubs in Oklahoma and moved to Nashville in 1986 to work for Gibson Guitar Corporation.🎸
His first album arrived in 1990 when country music was thriving commercially and creatively. His first single, a sensitive traditional country ballad, Home, reached No. 1, although Diffie quickly counted on novelty hits to sustain his career. For instance, his other No. 1 hits are Pickup Man, Bigger Than the Beatles, Third Rock From the Sun and If the Devil Danced (In Empty Pockets). Toward the end of the 1990s, Diffie lost his chart momentum and left Epic Records following his 2001 album, In Another World. Subsequently, he toured with Mark Chesnutt and Tracy Lawrence on the Rockin' Roadhouse tour.

Diffie released seven studio albums, a Christmas album, and a greatest-hits package under the Epic label. He also released one studio album each through Monument Records, Broken Bow Records, and Rounder Records. Among his albums, 1993's Honky Tonk Attitude and 1994's Third Rock from the Sun are certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America, while 1992's Regular Joe and 1995's Life's So Funny are both certified gold. His album, Homecoming: The Bluegrass Album, was released in late 2010 through Rounder. His style is defined by a neotraditionalist country influence with a mix of novelty songs and ballads.❤️🌟

Prop Me Up Beside the Jukebox (If I Die) was written by Songwriters: Kerry Kurt Phillips, Howard Perdew and Richard Lane Blaylock. It was released in 1993.🎶

Diffie died from complications related to COVID-19 during the pandemic on March 29, 2020, at the age of 61 and he is laid to rest at Hermitage Memorial Gardens cemetery in Old Hickory, Tennessee.✝️
