Product Information
Raise a glass to the latest entry in Bloodshot's Barrel Select Series!Barrel Select exists to highlight the best of Bloodshot's cask-strength catalog. 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 Gone Away Backward."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 Gone Away Backward 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.With 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.Recorded by Steve Albini10th Anniversary Barrel Select edition on Bloodshot Red vinyl"Stunning" -Saving Country Music"a work of great, accomplished craft... vivid and moving" -Ken Tucker, NPR"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
