Joe Diffie life and biography

Joe Logan Diffie is an American country music singer known for his ballads and novelty songs. Between 1990 and 2004, Diffie charted thirty-five cuts on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, including five number one singles: his debut release "Home", "If the Devil Danced (In Empty Pockets)", "Third Rock from the Sun", "Pickup Man" (his longest-lasting number one, at four weeks) and "Bigger Than the Beatles". In addition to these cuts, he has twelve other Top Ten singles.

Joe Diffie worked in a foundry while playing local nightclubs in Oklahoma and moved to Nashville in 1986 to work for Gibson Guitars. 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. Since then, he's toured with Mark Chesnutt and Tracy Lawrence on the Rockin' Roadhouse tour.
