“Bluegrass Vacation”

With close to 20 albums under his belt, including Country Love Songs, Let’s Kill Saturday Night, and his fabulous new one Bluegrass Vacation,
Robbie Fulks has had quite a career. Over the last thirty years the Pennsylvania born singer-songwriter has collaborated with everyone from Steve Albini to Dallas Wayne to NRBQ’s Al Anderson, worked as a country music songwriter for the Music Row publisher API and scored two Grammy nominations in 2016 for Best Folk Album and Best American Roots Song. There’s a lot that’s cool about Robbie Fulks—his flatpicking guitar style, his poetic turns of phrase,his unique sense of humor and his penchant to cover songs you’d never think he’d cover—he’s knocked out versions of tracks by everyone from The Bangles to Shania Twain, so you pretty much never know what’s going to happen. But what’s really cool about Robbie Fulks is that he’s an engine of creative power and that engine hasn’t dimmed once in his 30 year career. His new album Bluegrass Vacation is a rollicking and joyful blast of sheer bluegrass bliss. From One Glass of Whisky to Old Time Music is Here To Stay, Bluegrass Vacation is a joyful romp that references the genre with a respectful tip of the hat that breathes new life into an old tradition.
