Just spent 10 minutes trying to remember this guy's name.

"This guy" being Jake Xerxes Fussell, one of the most interesting musicians in the folk-ish/Americana-ish/fingerpicking space. I've been a fan for a while now! Amazing how your brain can just go black like that.

Lots of trad tunes but done in a very thoughtful, subtle, inimitable way. If you like Sam Amidon and you don't know Fussell, check him out for sure.

This whole album is exceptional and perfect for a Sunday night.

Jake Xerxes Fussell works like a folklorist as he collects traditional folks songs, especially from Appalachian region and the south, and plays them in a contemporary style.

@uncutmagazine@twitter.com introduced me to #JakeXerxesFussell through a very positive review of his 2022 album "Good And Green Again". I've bought all of his albums in the meantime and am #NowPlaying / #NowSpinning his 2019 album "Out Of Sight".

I think I wrote that already on occasion of his lastest album: His way of searching for and interpreting unknown folk songs reminds me a lot of Ry Cooder's first three records from early 70s.

Just found out that #JakeXerxesFussell is playing at Lulu's Upstairs in Manitou Springs on 4/7 & almost tripped over myself trying to find my wallet. He's also playing in Boulder the following night. Don't miss it, @GoldenBrown!

#NowPlaying/#NowSpinning a perfect folk album by #JakeXerxesFussell, called "What in the natural world", released 2017. #RyCooder's first two albums come to mind! Great!
