Jake Xerxes Fussell: Out of Sight (PoB-042)

On his third and most finely wrought album yet, Jake is joined for the first time by a full band. An utterly transporting selection of traditional narrative folksongs addressing the troubles and delights of love, work, and wine, collected from a myriad of obscure sources and deftly metamorphosed, Out of Sight contains, among other moving curiosities, a fishmonger’s cry that sounds like an astral lament; a cotton mill tune that humorously explores the unknown terrain of death and memory; and a fishermen’s shanty/gospel song equally concerned with terrestrial boozing and heavenly transcendence.
