5 out of 5 stars Great Country Guitar Instrumentals.......2004-06-12

If you love the guitar, you'll love this album. Other great guitarists like Scotty Moore, James Burton and Steve Cropper should have made an album this good. The focus is all on the great electric guitar work of these 2 maestros and the backup rhythm section never gets in the way. So if you've been disappointed by the efforts of some of the other great pickers, like the ones mentioned above, this disc will fill the void quite nicely. Chet Atkins would surely have given this a thumbs up too.

Where his original material has assumed a more ambitiously eclectic progression, Robbie Fulks celebrates the twisted heart of hillbilly country with this revival of backwoods novelty numbers and hardcore obscurities. Highlights range from a romp through the derangement of Jimmie Logsdon's "I Want to Be Mama'd" to chilling renditions of Dolly Parton's "Jeannie's Afraid of the Dark" (originally recorded with Porter Wagoner) and Hylo Brown's "Bury the Bottle with Me." Fulks not only proves a gifted vocal mimic--his conversational phrasing on Bill Anderson's "Cocktails" is dead-on and he channels the essence of Texas honky-tonk on Frankie Miller's "Family Man"--but shows how such disparate strains have shaped the soul of his own music. --Don McLeese

5 out of 5 stars An Amazing Assortment of Covers.......2006-05-03

Fulks is a fully realized songwriter, and on his other LPs you can hear his very fine tunesmithing. Here, we are instead treated to his keen ear and encyclopedic knowledge of old-time country music, in addition to the (expected) crack musicianship. His selections are (mostly) wonderful. I've never heard any of the originals, but I have no doubt that Fulks has exceeded them. THIS is exactly what should be played on country music radio instead of the Faith Hill & Kenny Chesney pablum that masquerades as country music. One small caveat - whether he is writing them or picking them, when Fulks gets a clunker, it's a doozy of a clunker! Given that we are treated to only 13 tunes, I could have done without the harmless novelty song "Knot Holes." And even Fulks cannot rescue the vapid treacliness of Dolly's "Jeannie's Afraid of the Dark." The rest is wonderful, particularly the drinkin' laments - "Cocktails" and "Bury the Bottle With Me."

Fulks is a genius.

5 out of 5 stars A wonderful tribute to the founders of country music........2002-12-15

With "13 Hillbilly Giants," Robbie Fulks performs an invaluable service--not only to a largely forgotten group of country singers and songwriters, but also to 21st-century audiences who've been brainwashed into believing that the soft-rock drivel currently oozing out of Nashville is real country music. Fulks' performances of songs such as "Cocktails," "Burn on Love Fire," "I Want to Be Mama'd" and "Family Man" are so authentic you can almost imagine yourself at home, listening to the Grand Ole Opry on the old Philco console circa 1955. A small confession: the composition by the most famous country star represented here--Dolly Parton's "Jeannie's Afraid of the Dark"--is the sort of morbid weeper that had me believing for years that I hated country music. But Fulks more than makes up for its inclusion by his closing song, Hylo Brown's "Bury the Bottle With Me." This one goes completely off the Morbid Meter, but the tune is so lovely, and the words so starkly, simply tragic, that it is unforgettable.

5 out of 5 stars Classic Country Covers.......2001-11-10

Living in the Chicago area, I get to see Robbie Fulks perform fairly often. This disc is on his own Boondoggle label, and initially could only be purchased from him or his website. I have been enjoying it for almost a year now and am happy to see it in wider release. If you like Robbie in his country mode ("Country Love Songs", "South Mouth") you will love this CD.

No Fulks originals here, just a respectful tribute to some of his favorite artists and their classic songs from "the golden age of country". You won't hear anything by well-known names like Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, or George Jones. The only folks I recognized were Bill Anderson and Porter Wagoner/Dolly Parton. But, as you might expect, Robbie has an ear for a good song, and he has unearthed some beauties here.

The disc starts out with the lone instrumental track, Jimmy Arnold's "Southern Comfort," featuring some nice guitar picking by both Robbies (Fulks and Gjersoe). Other highlights include Anderson's "Cocktails," Dave Rich's bouncy "Burn on Love Fire," and Wynn Stewart's "Donna on my Mind." Two of the strongest tracks close things out: Jean Shepard's "Act Like a Married Man" (clocking in at a brisk 2:00), and a chilling version of Hylo Brown's "Bury the Bottle With Me."

These are songs about drinkin' and lovin' and cheatin'. It's potent stuff, and it's real country music -- not the fluff that passes for country these days. Fulks has some fun here ("Knothole", "I Want to Be Mama'd"), but obviously has a great love and respect for this music. He is to be commended for bringing these lesser known artists and their songs to our attention.

The Liquor Giants are just one of a very few people in the music world that truly kick ...! Liquor Giants, ... define some of the best music nobody's ever heard of.
On "Here," Liquor Giants' Ward Dotson shows his writing expertise on such numbers as "67 East 2nd Street," "Something's Always on Fire" and "Everybody's a Genius."
Some people label the Liquor Giants as retro. I prefer to think of them as simply original. ...

      5 out of 5 stars His Best Album To Date!.......2005-11-20

      This is a great collection of folk and pop songs in the singer/songwriter tradition. All the songs have wonderful melodies and hooks that you'll be humming throughout the day. The lyrics continue to be poignant and fresh. The fidelity is fanastic as is the musical accompaniment. Even the glass playing on one song fits the nature of the song like the best of the Glasnotes.

      This is a major step forward for Donal. He's toned down the country and instead emphansized his folk and pop background. The haunting drama of songs like "Blue Ink" and "Giants" is beautifully sung. And works just as well as his more upbeat songs like "You And Me" and "Talkin' Cheap Trick Blues." If he could get some radio airplay, this album could break wide open. If you get a chance catch him live for this glass playing shows as well as singer/songwriter performances.
