After Amy Winehouse called her tour off due to that pesky exhaustion problem, twenty-year-old Scottish singer-songwriter Paolo Nutini forged ahead alone for what is now a headlining tour of North America. “New Shoes” Nutini (who is now booked for the Led Zeppelin-headling tribute show to his record label mentor, Ahmet Ertegun) let Rock & Roll Daily take a look inside his tour bus before his show at the Fillmore in New York last night. Twelve people are packed onto the bus for a tour that already seen Nutini playing with Elvis Costello and Feist, and partying with VMAs lightweight champ Kid Rock. Unfortunately, Nutini insisted that the band had “obviously hidden the drugs and guns” before we hopped aboard, but take a look at our photo tour to get a taste of the singer’s drinking philosophy, Guitar Hero insecurities and tales of buses that keep moving without drivers.

im not surprised that most of these comments go beyond “oh my god, i love you” seeing as paolo nutini is himself an artist beyond all that. If you’re reading this, Paolo,(ok, so this comment is a little late coming) i hope you and the band know that. i truly appreciate the purity and character of your music as well as your one-of-a-kind voice. I love the fact that there is always a song of yours to go with the kind of day im having or the mood im in. I guess you can say that you are truly music to my ears(as well as my soul)

Saw you in Atlanta for the last show of your tour- amazing. Your music and the way you sing it is unique and irresistable. It’s hard to get enough. Take care of yourself- this world needs what you’ve got.

You sing in a way that makes me want to sing too. I hope you have a second great album up your sleeve. I can’t wait to buy it. Next time you are in Vancouver, I hope you will open your beautiful eyes when you sing! Cheers.

Paolo, it is not easy to express my feelings and the sensations you give me but I can say you are so special and unique. I was in Milano at Rolling Stones and just adored you. Your voice, your expressions and the deepness of your soul touch me deeply and your songs have accompanied me every day for the lat 8 months. Ciào and come to Barga again, you’re beautiful in all ways. (hope you read this message)

LOVED the concert at the Fitzgerald in St. Paul, Minnesota…. And was so happy to run into you by chance before the concert! Thanks for the picture and autograph Paolo… you made one little bit older gal very happy. You are a rare talent and will go far! Love the accent - but let us in on a little of what you have to say when you’re speaking to the crowd - I’m sure it’s all good!! OH… and Serena Ryder… she is awesome!!

Thanks for coming to the Roseland Theater in Portland, OR. I only wish the instruments were turned down a wee bit so we could hear your voice more clearly. Hope you’ll be back in the Northwest on your next US tour. Thanks for the sunshine.
Jane | 10/2/2007, 10:13 pm EST
The Fitzgerald Theatre is actually located in St. Paul not Minneapolis. I don’t usually get to St. Paul, that’s why I wrote Minneapolis! Not that it matters to any one any way! hehehe
Jane | 10/2/2007, 9:28 pm EST
Saw you in Minneapolis MN last night at the Fitzgerald Theatre. What a great show even though there were some rude audience members. I thought you were great! There were a lot of us in the balcony that couldn’t hear or understand what you were saying. Please speak clearly and louder for us! Thanks!

Fantastic concert in Albuquerque! Thanks again for making the huge effort of flying to L.A. and back to ABQ from your taping of Jay Leno…bigger and more egotistical performers would have blown us off…what a fun and funky show it was! The band was hot, hot, hot! Love from yer Oldest and craZiest fan!!!

Someone with your voice, talent and soul has been a long time coming. You may be young, but you’ve been there and know how to tell about it and make us feel it right along with you. I have a feeling (and great hope) that you’ll be one of the greats who will now forever be a name everyone will know.
