Review

The title is, of course, a put-on, since the closest Robbie Fulks has come to a hit was the never-be-ready-for-prime-time "Fuck This Town," from his 1997 South Mouth album. This collection gathers 14 unreleased cuts--some old, some new--and the best songs here reaffirm Fulks's status as one of the most imaginative and provocative (not to mention politically incorrect) songwriters working within a twang-based aesthetic. "Jean Arthur" turns the guitar lick from the coda of "Layla" into a country tune. "That Bangle Girl" is a pure-pop collaboration with the Skeletons, while "Parallel Bars" is a good-humored honky-tonk duet with Kelly Willis. "Hamilton County Breakdown" showcases Fulks's bluegrass flat-picking skills, but best of all is "White Man's Bourbon," which gleefully picks up where "Ubangi Stomp" and "Brown Sugar" left off. --Rick Mitchell There's some brand new stuff (recorded with Steve Albini), a demo or two, a couple of live cuts, some soundtrack weirdness, a couple of things left off his first two Bloodshot CDs, and a killer duet with Kelly Willis. All in all, it's a Fulk-narian delight full of old school honky-tonk grooves, hum along roots/pop finger-snappers, bluegrass foot stomps, and some genuinely hi-larious novelties.
