Joe Diffie moved out to Nashville, Tennessee, with aspirations of becoming a star after being laid off from his factory job in his hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma. It didn't take long for Joe to make a name for himself in Nashville. After writing a hit song for artist Holly Dunn, Joe was given his very own contract with Epic Records. Joe's first hit song was "Home", which was released in 1990. In 1993, he released his first platinum album, with that album being named Honky Tonk Attitude. Joe’s follow-up to Honky Tonk Attitude would also attain platinum status, and the artist received his first Grammy Award in 1999.
