Robbie Fulks

Forget the labels… "Insurgent," "Retro," "Alternative," … and focus instead on the music. Some might try to copy old music, but ROBBIE FULKS knows it, loves it, and brings its spirit, its humor, and its otherworldliness to his own work. He's the man who famously gave Nashville the middle-finger salute-in-song and then devoted an entire album to rare and obscure country songs that almost no one in latter-day Nashville had even heard. And while most current <a class="taxInlineTagLink" id="01011005" title="Country and Western (genre)" href="/topic/arts-culture/genres/country-western-%28genre%29-01011005.topic">country music</a> is calculated to form an inoffensive backdrop to the suburban shopping experience, Robbie Fulks writes songs that make you think and feel and quite often laugh out loud. And now, in response to requests from "the two fans who follow me around" (and a bunch of others who come up after the shows and write into robbiefulks.com) he has finally produced a live double CD, REVENGE! And, of course, because it's by Robbie Fulks, it's a live CD unlike any other live CD.
