Compass is a renowned recording studio originally based in Nassau, Bahamas. Founded in 1977 by Chris Blackwell and directed by Alex Sadkin, the studio quickly gained popularity thanks to its relaxed tropical setting and talented session musicians. Artists such as Grace Jones, Talking Heads, Tom Tom Club, Robert Palmer, and Joe Cocker have all recorded at Compass Point Studios.

After Sadkin's passing in 1987, the studio faced a period of decline. However, in 1992, on Blackwell's commission, the studios underwent a complete restructuring led by Terry Manning who also took over management responsibilities. Following this restructure, Compass Point operated with increasing success until September 2010.

In response to local "socio-political" incidents that made it untenable to continue doing public business in The Bahamas, Blackwell and Manning announced via the now-defunct studio website that they were relocating due to these circumstances. They emphasized that anyone claiming to be part of Compass Point Studios after their departure was using the trademarked name inappropriately.

In March 2020, the Nashville-based artist experienced the devastating tornado that tore through much of East Nashville, followed by the global pandemic. Tuttle, who grew up in California and has toured as a solo artist for years, suddenly found herself—along with the rest of the musician community—sheltering at home. She found solace in revisiting favorite songs from throughout her life in an attempt to “remind myself why I love music.” She conceptualized an idea for a record with renowned LA producer Tony Berg (Phoebe Bridgers, Andrew Bird) to be recorded over 2,000 miles apart. Tuttle taught herself how to use ProTools, recorded and engineered all of her parts alone before sending them to Berg in Los Angeles. The result is 10 tracks that cross the musical spectrum and the decades, from FKA Twigs to Cat Stevens, from Rancid to Karen Dalton, that will be released as …but i’d rather be with you on Compass Records. The songs range from a shimmering version of The National’s Fake Empire, to her version of The Rolling Stones She’s a Rainbow, all united by Tuttle’s clear, true voice, astonishing range and incredible musicianship. “I love so many types of music, and it’s exciting to be a part of different musical worlds,” she says, “but when I’m creating, I don’t think about genres or how it will fit into any particular format—it’s just music.”
