What in the Natural World Jake Xerxes Fussell SKU: POB031LP Barcode: 616892415046 22.00 £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Paradise Of Bachelors Released Date: 31st March 2017 Buying Format: 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Entrancing guitarist and singer Jake Xerxes Fussell follows his celebrated self-titled debut (produced by William Tyler) with a moving new album of Natural Questions in the form of transmogrified folk/blues koans. This time these radiant ancient tunes tone several shades darker while amplifying their absurdist humor, illuminating our national, and psychic, predicaments. Featuring art by iconic painter Roger Brown and contributions from three notable Nathans – Nathan Bowles (Steve Gunn), Nathan Salsburg (Alan Lomax Archive), and Nathan Golub (Mountain Goats) – as well as Joan Shelley and Casey Toll (Mt. Moriah). It’s the result of a lifetime dedicated to apprenticeships with master storytellers, from Piedmont blueswomen Precious Bryant and Etta Baker to documentary artists Les Blank and Art Rosenbaum. So if What in the Natural World feels both several shades darker, and unsettlingly funnier, than Jake’s self-titled 2015 debut, you need only look around at our national predicament in 2017 for clues. Since then Jake has played around the country, opening for Wilco, dueting with Tyler, and touring with Mt. Moriah, Nathan Bowles, and Daniel Bachman … and the territory he’s traversed, for many of our fellow citizens, doesn’t brook much hope. Unlike his debut, the majority of these songs are not nominally traditional; they don’t hail from what Jake calls “the weird void of folk anonymity and the dark, fertile past.” Five of nine are attributed to specific artists, both canonical (Duke Ellington) and obscure (Helen Cockram), and all are recast in vibrant, assured recordings that elide genres and dissolve the false binaries of tradition and innovation, folk and modern, old and new. “The professor you always wished you had, the human jukebox, the guitar player and singer who makes any band that he’s in better. He’s a southern scholar and gentleman in the tradition of Jim Dickinson, George Mitchell, & Les Blank. He’s a Dave Van Ronk for SEC country.” William Tyler “Beautifully loose arrangements of playful, resilient songs.” Uncut “Music that takes us to a deep place in the American spirit.” Art Rosenbaum Artist Jake Xerxes Fussell Genre Rock And Pop Label Paradise Of Bachelors Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings 1 Jump for Joy 2 Have You Ever Seen Peaches Growing on a Sweet Potato Vine? 3 Pinnacle Mountain Silver Mine 4 Furniture Man 5 Bells of Rhymney 6 Billy Button 7 Canyoneers 8 St. Brendan’s Isle 9 Lowe Bonnie Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Jake Xerxes Fussell and more from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Jake Xerxes Fussell When I’m Called Folk | Fat Possum | 1LP Released 12th July 2024 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jake Xerxes Fussell When I’m Called £21.00 Genre: Folk Label: Fat Possum SKU: FP18391 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 12th July 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jake Xerxes Fussell Good And Green Again Folk | Paradise Of Bachelors | 1LP Released 21st January 2022 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jake Xerxes Fussell Good And Green Again £21.00 Genre: Folk Label: Paradise Of Bachelors SKU: POB063LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 21st January 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jake Xerxes Fussell Out Of Sight Rock And Pop | Paradise Of Bachelors | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 7th June 2019 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jake Xerxes Fussell Out Of Sight £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Paradise Of Bachelors SKU: POB042LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 7th June 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Polica United Crushers Rock And Pop | Memphis Industries | 1LP Released 4th March 2016 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Polica United Crushers £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Memphis Industries SKU: MI0384LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 4th March 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Cleopatrick BUMMER Rock And Pop | Nowhere Special Recordings | 1LP Released 15th October 2021 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Cleopatrick BUMMER £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Nowhere Special Recordings SKU: 39458LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 15th October 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Neneh Cherry Blank Project Rock And Pop | Smalltown Supersound | 2LP, CD Released 18th February 2014 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Neneh Cherry Blank Project £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Smalltown Supersound SKU: STS248LP Formats: 2LP, CD Released Date: 18th February 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pop Group, The Y Live Rock And Pop | Mute | 1LP, Includes Poster Released 20th March 2020 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pop Group, The Y Live £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Mute SKU: TPGYL1 Formats: 1LP, Includes Poster Released Date: 20th March 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Bad Company Straight Shooter Rock And Pop | Swan Song | 1LP Released 25th October 2022 £14.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Bad Company Straight Shooter £14.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Swan Song SKU: nn252127 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 25th October 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket Nearly New View Product Quick View Black Sabbath Black Sabbath Metal / Classic Rock | Vertigo | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 4th May 2023 £170.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Black Sabbath Black Sabbath £170.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Vertigo SKU: nn262985 Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 4th May 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Various Artists Bob Stanley & Pete Wiggs present: Three Day Week Rock And Pop | Ace Records | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 28th March 2019 £32.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists Bob Stanley & Pete Wiggs present: Three Day Week £32.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Ace Records SKU: XXQLP2058 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 28th March 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ophelias, The Bare Bodkin Rock And Pop | INDEPENDENT PROJECT RECORDS | 2LP, 45rpm, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released 29th September 2023 £62.00 -
