Chicago's Robbie Fulks may be the standard-bearer of alternative country, but you don't need a subscription to No Depression to enjoy his music. Any fan of real country will find cause to rejoice here. Fulks's second release, SOUTH MOUTH is a broader record than his first. The common threads connecting the Western Swing numbers, honky tonkers and sullen hill country ballads are witty lyrics, heartache, and a biting sense of humor. On "I Told Her Lies" his tongue is so far up his cheek it's a wonder he hasn't swallowed it. "You Wouldn't Do That To Me" and "South Richmond Girl" have a haunting vulnerability that is rarely evoked so effectively. Fulks's sardonic ode to Nashville, "Fuck This Town," serves as a reminder that he's doing his own thing and wants no part of today's "Nash Vegas".
Backed by Tom Brumley (formerly Buck Owens' steel guitar player) and members of the Skeletons, Fulks puts an original spin on the country traditions he has so seamlessly assimilated. He pays homage to these traditions without denying his 90's Midwestern wise guy persona. The result is an intelligent album full of timeless songs--the kind of record that never wears out it's welcome.
