Monday Morning Video – Robbie Fulks

Monday, February 10, 2025 By Mayer Danzig

Let’s spend Monday morning talking about Saturday night, courtesy of Robbie Fulks. The Fulks catalog covers a broad spectrum, from songs raw and honest to those that are comical and entertaining. At his best, however, he combines the two into songs that are imminently catchy but have a serious undercurrent. “Let’s Kill Saturday Night” is […]

Shawn’s Favorite Albums of 2023

Wednesday, December 27, 2023 By Shawn Underwood

2023 was a good year for new records. It seemed like themes and topics were no longer dominated by pandemic-induced experiences, and writers felt free to explore the entirety of their experience again. There was a good mix of new and old, both in terms of songs and artists. There’s the usual caveat that what […]

Robbie Fulks / Bluegrass Vacation

Wednesday, May 17, 2023 By Todd Mathis

What I’ve come to expect from Robbie Fulks is good songs. So when I saw an album advertising all of the guest stars on his latest, Bluegrass Vacation, I started to get a little nervous. A lot of times I’ve found advertising the guest stars means, “I don’t have anything to say, but boy look […]

Steve Poltz Wins AMERICANAFEST 2018

Thursday, September 27, 2018 By Todd Mathis

As a newbie to AMERICANAFEST I have to say that looking at the schedule beforehand I was a bit overwhelmed. Throw in the fact that it had been about 10 years since I’d been to Nashville and that made it even more so.  But once I got there and settled into the pace and learned […]

Mayer’s Playlist for March/April 2016, Part 2

Wednesday, April 20, 2016 By Mayer Danzig

ALBUMS OF THE MONTH Rangers & Valentines by Trapper Schoepp When was the last time that you heard an infectious song about mononucleosis? I can’t recall either but Trapper Schoepp demonstrates that it can be done. The lead-off track to his latest release crackles with energy, driven by an irresistible pop hook and emboldened by […]

Monday Morning Video – Robbie Fulks Covers Fountains of Wayne

Monday, September 21, 2015 By Mayer Danzig

Set aside his own impressive catalog, Robbie Fulks knows a good song when he hears one. Here’s an impressive cover of Fountains of Wayne’s brilliant power pop confection “The Girl I Can’t Forget.” A trombone and guitar solo? Fuggedaboutit. In true Fulks comedic fashion, the performance comes from a tribute night entitled “Fountains of Wayne […]
