Robbie Fulks has made some of the finest records we can claim as our own, but if there’s only room for one on that sacred shelf at the top, it’s \u003cem\u003eGone Away Backward\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“At a time when modern country feels like bloated spandex-and-Aquanetted pop-metal, Fulks defiantly embraces an unflinching traditionalism.” Paste’s words, not ours, but we’re not gonna argue the point they made when \u003cem\u003eGone Away Backward\u003c\/em\u003e hit their doorstep 11 years back. They also called this “a tour du force of bluegrass-derived spare country,” which we’ll also let stand. Magnet said it was “the best album Fulks has ever made, period,” and out of respect for the wonderful work Robbie has done in the past decade, we’ll simply point out that this too is an 11-year-old review.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith Steve Albini at the board, Robbie was able to break his songs down to their core and fire his characters, his chops, his band, and his amazing voice directly at listener’s souls. “We recorded it pretty fast, in a couple of days. People are always bragging that they did it without overdubs, but that’s the way we did it.” The results are everything we ever wanted from Robbie and a high-water mark of folk or bluegrass or alt-country or whatever genre bucket you want to pour his gifts into.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Stunning” — Saving Country Music\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“a work of great, accomplished craft . . . vivid and moving” — Ken Tucker, NPR\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“The level of artistry is so complete that it suggests a world in which Fulks isn’t a household name is somehow upside down.” — Wall Street Journal\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSIDE A:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLong I Ride\u003cbr\u003eGuess I Got It Wrong\u003cbr\u003eWhen You Get To The Bottom\u003cbr\u003eRose of the Summer\u003cbr\u003ePacific Slope\u003cbr\u003eThat's Where I'm From\u003cbr\u003eSIDE B:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI'll Trade You Money For Wine\u003cbr\u003eWhere I Fell\u003cbr\u003eSometimes the Grass Is Really Greener\u003cbr\u003eThe Many Disguises of God\u003cbr\u003eSnake Chapman's Tune\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Redeye","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45816107434158,"sku":"708857032815","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/6118\/0334\/files\/708857032815.jpg?v=1728492461","url":"https:\/\/morrowrecords.com\/products\/robbie-fulks-gone-away-backward-ltd-bloodshot-red-vinyl","provider":"Morrow Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
