Description
2024 Reissue
Introducing Georgia raised North Carolina native, singer and guitarist Jake Xerxes Fussell with his self-titled debut record. Produced by and featuring William Tyler with Chris Scruggs (steel guitar, bass, mandolin: Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Marty Stuart), Brian Kotzur (drums: Silver Jews), and Hoot Hester (fiddle: Bill Monroe. Ray Charles)
Jake Xerxes (yes, that's his real middle name, after Georgia potter D.X. Gordy) transmutes ten arcane folk and blues tunes into vibey cosmic laments and crooked riverine rambles.
These odd disjunctures demonstrate the way that verses and choruses, the stories we tell, disintegrate and erode over time, worn smooth as river stones by their repeated telling, more lovely for their fissures and absences than for any imaginary original integrity.
