Our Take

Robbie Fulks' latest offering, "Upland Stories," is a delightful romp through Americana goodness, serving up a heaping helping of twang-infused storytelling that will have you tapping your boots and reaching for your trusty ol' banjo. Fulks, a veteran of the alt-country scene, brings his decades of experience to the table, crafting an album that is equal parts heart-wrenching balladry and foot-stomping fun.

From the honky-tonk swagger of "Alabama at Night" to the introspective reflection of "Needed," Fulks showcases his wide-ranging musical prowess, effortlessly blending traditional bluegrass influences with modern sensibilities. His witty, self-deprecating lyrics are a highlight, painting vivid portraits of small-town life and lost love with razor-sharp wit and a healthy dose of Southern charm.

Standout tracks like "Sarah Jane" and "Aunt Peg's New Old Man" showcase Fulks' storytelling prowess, weaving tales of love, loss, and redemption with a sincerity that is both refreshing and relatable. With its mix of old-school twang and contemporary sensibilities, "Upland Stories" is a must-listen for fans of Americana music and anyone looking for a bit of musical escapism.

Overall, "Upland Stories" is a triumph for Robbie Fulks, solidifying his status as a true master of the alt-country genre. So grab a bourbon, kick back, and let Fulks take you on a musical journey through the heart of America. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
