What in the Natural World Jake Xerxes Fussell SKU: POB031LP Barcode: 616892415046 22.00 £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Paradise Of Bachelors Released Date: 31st March 2017 Buying Format: 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Entrancing guitarist and singer Jake Xerxes Fussell follows his celebrated self-titled debut (produced by William Tyler) with a moving new album of Natural Questions in the form of transmogrified folk/blues koans. This time these radiant ancient tunes tone several shades darker while amplifying their absurdist humor, illuminating our national, and psychic, predicaments. Featuring art by iconic painter Roger Brown and contributions from three notable Nathans – Nathan Bowles (Steve Gunn), Nathan Salsburg (Alan Lomax Archive), and Nathan Golub (Mountain Goats) – as well as Joan Shelley and Casey Toll (Mt. Moriah). It’s the result of a lifetime dedicated to apprenticeships with master storytellers, from Piedmont blueswomen Precious Bryant and Etta Baker to documentary artists Les Blank and Art Rosenbaum. So if What in the Natural World feels both several shades darker, and unsettlingly funnier, than Jake’s self-titled 2015 debut, you need only look around at our national predicament in 2017 for clues. Since then Jake has played around the country, opening for Wilco, dueting with Tyler, and touring with Mt. Moriah, Nathan Bowles, and Daniel Bachman … and the territory he’s traversed, for many of our fellow citizens, doesn’t brook much hope. Unlike his debut, the majority of these songs are not nominally traditional; they don’t hail from what Jake calls “the weird void of folk anonymity and the dark, fertile past.” Five of nine are attributed to specific artists, both canonical (Duke Ellington) and obscure (Helen Cockram), and all are recast in vibrant, assured recordings that elide genres and dissolve the false binaries of tradition and innovation, folk and modern, old and new. “The professor you always wished you had, the human jukebox, the guitar player and singer who makes any band that he’s in better. He’s a southern scholar and gentleman in the tradition of Jim Dickinson, George Mitchell, & Les Blank. He’s a Dave Van Ronk for SEC country.” William Tyler “Beautifully loose arrangements of playful, resilient songs.” Uncut “Music that takes us to a deep place in the American spirit.” Art Rosenbaum Artist Jake Xerxes Fussell Genre Rock And Pop Label Paradise Of Bachelors Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings 1 Jump for Joy 2 Have You Ever Seen Peaches Growing on a Sweet Potato Vine? 3 Pinnacle Mountain Silver Mine 4 Furniture Man 5 Bells of Rhymney 6 Billy Button 7 Canyoneers 8 St. Brendan’s Isle 9 Lowe Bonnie Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Jake Xerxes Fussell and more from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Jake Xerxes Fussell When I’m Called Folk | Fat Possum | 1LP Released 12th July 2024 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jake Xerxes Fussell When I’m Called £21.00 Genre: Folk Label: Fat Possum SKU: FP18391 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 12th July 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jake Xerxes Fussell Good And Green Again Folk | Paradise Of Bachelors | 1LP Released 21st January 2022 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jake Xerxes Fussell Good And Green Again £21.00 Genre: Folk Label: Paradise Of Bachelors SKU: POB063LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 21st January 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jake Xerxes Fussell Out Of Sight Rock And Pop | Paradise Of Bachelors | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 7th June 2019 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jake Xerxes Fussell Out Of Sight £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Paradise Of Bachelors SKU: POB042LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 7th June 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View John Matthias Geisterfahrer Rock And Pop | Village Green | 1LP Released 10th February 2014 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Matthias Geisterfahrer £14.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Village Green SKU: VGLP012 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 10th February 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Streets, The A Grand Dont Come For Free Rap / Hip Hop | 679 Recordings | 2LP Released 26th March 2018 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Streets, The A Grand Dont Come For Free £25.00 Genre: Rap / Hip Hop Label: 679 Recordings SKU: 0825646153411 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 26th March 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Royal Blood How Did We Get So Dark?
