内容紹介
Chicago's Robbie Fulks is a singer/songwriter/guitarist whose particularly American brand of rock bears echoes of Memphis, Greenwich Village, Nashville, Texas and the Appalachians. He has been called "the Midwestern Elvis Costello," referring to his melodic authority and lyrical irreverence. Let's Kill Saturday Night was produced by Fulks and Rick Will (Natalie Imbruglia, No Doubt) and features Lucinda Williams and NRBQ's Al Anderson among others.
Amazonレビュー
On his impressive Geffen debut, Robbie Fulks effortlessly churns out solid country-tinged rockers, piercing ballads, toe-tapping honky-tonk, and irresistible pop songs, prompting comparisons to other multi-faceted singer-songwriters such as Freedy Johnston and the late Gram Parsons. From the standout guitar crunch of "Caroline" to the spooky, high-lonesome harmonies and plaintive fiddle of "Bethelridge" to the perfect tenor twang of "Can't Win for Losing You," Fulks proves himself a master of many genres. His passionate vocal delivery does much to redeem even his less-inspired lyrics. In going for the live vibe, Fulks and co-producer Rick Will sometimes verge on the sloppy--- "Little King," a thrashy rock number, sounds especially cacophonous. However, with stunners such as "Pretty Little Poison," a raggedly gorgeous duet with Lucinda Williams doing her throaty best to match Fulks's likable falsetto, the record can afford a few fillers. -- Carolyn Wennblom
