Robbie Fulks joins the Fretboard Journal Podcast this week to talk about his new album. Bluegrass Vacation. Fulks’ first full-length bluegrass album features an all-star cast of guests including Sam Bush, Sierra Hull, Ronnie McCoury, Tim O’Brien, Alison Brown, John Cowan and Jerry Douglas.
We talk about the alt-country pioneer’s deep bluegrass roots stretching back to his days as a member of Greg Cahill’s Special Consensus, his approach to songwriting (and writing in general), and we hear about a book he’s working on Fulks currently works. And much more.
