Nutbush is a rural unincorporated community in Haywood County, Tennessee, in the western part of the state. Established in the early 19th century, Nutbush is home to two early American churches founded by white settlers, Woodlawn Baptist Church and Trinity United Methodist Church. More than 50 Civil War soldiers are buried in Trinity Cemetery. Agriculture is the dominant source of income in the area, focused on the cultivation and processing of cotton. As of 2006, cotton was processed in one cotton-processing plant in the community. Nutbush is best known as the birthplace and childhood home of singer Tina Turner, who described the town in her 1973 song "Nutbush City Limits". In 2002, a segment of Tennessee State Route 19 near Nutbush was named "Tina Turner Highway" in her honor. Bob Seger has also recorded popular versions of "Nutbush City Limits." The song appears on his 1975 ''Beautiful Loser'' LP and it's also the opener on his 5x Platinum-selling live record, ''Live Bullet.'' Nutbush is also the birthplace and home town of pioneer musicians and recording artists such as Hambone Willie Newbern and Sleepy John Estes.〔''A History of Tennessee Arts'', University of Tennessee Press〕 ==Demographics== In 2000, the population of the Nutbush voting precinct (TN 3976) was 259.
