Jake Xerxes Fussell: Frolic by Paradise of Bachelors published on 2021-06-05T00:40:53Z Album page: https://paradiseofbachelors.com/shop/pob-063/ Artist page: https://paradiseofbachelors.com/jake-xerxes-fussell Other options: https://lnk.to/PoB63 Jake Xerxes Fussell Good and Green Again PoB-063 LP/CD/digital Worldwide release date: Jan. 21, 2022 Jake Xerxes Fussell’s fourth album finds the acclaimed folksong interpreter, guitarist, and singer navigating fresh sonic and compositional landscapes on the most conceptually focused, breathtakingly rendered, and enigmatically poignant record of his wondrous catalog. Produced by James Elkington and featuring formidable players both familiar (Casey Toll, Libby Rodenbough) and new (Joe Westerlund, Bonnie “Prince” Billy), it includes Jake’s first original compositions; atmospheric arrangements with pedal steel, horns, and strings; and cover art by Art Rosenbaum. Fussell is creating his own legacy within the long lineage of traditional folk musicians and storytellers that have come before him. – The New York Times So elegant … It’s relaxing in the way that pondering a Zen koan is relaxing, and sweet in the way that the wounded, honey-voiced blues of Mississippi John Hurt are sweet. – Pitchfork Music that resides at the seams of Appalachia and the cosmos. – NPR Genre Folk & Singer-Songwriter
