Bloodshot

Robbie Fulks' debut album - now on 180 Gram heavyweight vinyl for the first time. As Robbie described it - "13 original country songs with an early 50's production aesthetic (hot vocals, robust bass, live instrumental tracks) and arrangement, reviving certain types of songs long abandoned by mainstream country music. Likewise in retro spirit, these songs will frequently violate current country songwriting trends which hold as taboo themes of negativism, forceful expression and points of view uncongenial to the prevailing ideology of fatuous feelgoodism; they will instead reflect a modern sensibility in their emotional graphicness, vigorous iconoclasm, and sense of humour. In composition and presentation the music will honestly reflect the heart and personality of its author/singer, and in its fundamental sincerity will stand resolutely against the poisonous tides of camp". The surprise hit of 1996, it served notice that: a) Country music did NOT have to suck b) that Robbie was a top-notch songwriter and performer and c) things in the underground country scene were never going to be the same. Co-produced by Steve Albini, and features appearances by the Skeletons, and Tom Brumley (of the Buckaroos!), and drop-dead, now-classic honky tonk gems like Every Kinda Music But Country, The Buck Starts Here, and the sing-a-long fave She Took A Lot Of Pills (And Died).
