Robbie Fulks: “Backwater Blues”
Written By Michael Gutierrez

Blues folker Robbie Fulks dials up the swamp boogie in our highlighted track “Backwater Blues.”
Fulks is a Chicago-based musician with a deep-rooted knowledge of Americana: up, down, all around, plus six ways to Sunday. Listen to a full set or full album and he’ll make you a believer in the power of folk music from the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters. Don’t take him for a fluffernutter though, his lyrics have a beat poetry bite!
