Shellac is a magnificent punk band in Chicago whose three members I’ve been friends with for years and years. Now, we find out that Steve Albini‘s noisy three-piece Shellac plays on it: Man oh man, this Robbie Fulks Michael Jackson tribute album is getting more awesome and more crazy with every new detail.

Robbie Fulks: web, twitter, amazon, apple, spotify, wiki. It’s hard to write a song like this without falling back on tired cliches but Fulks is smart and unpredictable enough to twist them up and keep you guessing. But her harmonies perfectly compliment Fulks’ regretful tale of a misspent life on the road. (“Boogie Woogie Country Gal,” for example, features her pounding the keys like the Killer at his most feral). Lewis isn’t featured as prominently on “I Just Lived A Country Song” as she is on many of the other songs on Wild! Wild! Wild!. She’s recorded for Sun, toured with her brother, and lived almost as hard as him. She’s Jerry Lee Lewis’ little sister and she’s been playing piano and singing since she was a kid. He just knows what sounds good.Īnd one thing that sounds good is Linda Gail Lewis. He’s traditional but he’s not stuck in the past. I suppose his refusal to play down to the lowest common denominator is alternative to mainstream country but whatever. The thing I love about Robbie Fulks is that he doesn’t try to be alt- or insurgent- or Americana- but instead he is comfortable enough with his deal that he allows himself to be just plain country. From Wild! Wild! Wild!, out August 10 on Bloodshot. Video: Robbie Fulks & Linda Gail Lewis – “I Just Lived A Country Song”
