Following last month’s release of moonshining ballad “Copper Kettle,” Jake Xerxes Fussell is back with “Hills of Mexico,” a wistful and timely interpretation of a traditional 19th c. ballad about going to Mexico to work the cattle drive as a vaquero, and the hardships and insecurity of underemployment and migrant work.

Happy Thanksgiving. Today is the 10th anniversary of the first PoB release, Said I Had a Vision: Songs & Labels of David Lee, 1960-1988.

But we’re still here and thankful, today as always, for the opportunity to collaborate with artists we love. Thanks for your support and your ears; we’ll keep listening and telling long stories and hope that you will too.
