FITZGERALDS NIGHTCLUB PRESENTS:Robbie Fulks Duets Night (Night 1 of 2)$35 General Admission SEAT / Reserved Tables Available JOIN FOR AN INTIMATE EVENING OF COLLABORATIVE PERFORMANCES AS ROBBIE INVITES A CAST OF INCREDIBLE TALENT TO JOIN HIM FOR A FUN PROGRAM OF DUETS! Its time to make a change, Robbie Fulks declares at the start of Now Then, his second album on Nashvilles Compass Records. This statement is familiar to anyone who follows this critically acclaimed and GRAMMY-nominated singer-songwriters career. Since emerging in the 1990s as a pioneer of todays Americana movement, Fulks has consistently explored different sounds, genres, and themes across 16 albums, performing on stages from the Grand Ole Opryand Late Night with Conan OBriento the Hollywood Bowl and Jimmy Kimmel Livewith Steve Martin, Alison Brown, and Tim OBrien.That restless spirit lies at the heart of Now Then. Like a well-stocked jukebox in your favorite bar, the 12 songs on Now Then range from folk to power pop, jazz to old-time country. But the perspective threaded through each one comes from the realization that the time behind you spans a greater distance than what lies ahead.Its from an older persons outlook, and mostly true, Fulks says. The tone is about 70 percent reflective, 20 percent amused, and 10 percent angry.Indeed, the album opener Workin No More Blues quietly resists a world that demands greater conformity by the day: Now Im weary of those around me/And I know for sure theyre sick of me/They say I wont do as Im told/They say Ive lost the thread/Im too old. The aged narrator of Savannah is a Devilish Girl a dance between banjo and fiddle dreams of disappearing into rural life. Love appears in the song The Thirty-Year Marriage as something more potent than romance. The narrator and his wife smile at young couples who dont yet realize what only years reveal: We didnt fall out of love/We fell into rhythm.A constant across Now is the novelists eye for lyrical detail. Peeling back these story songs often uncovers harsh truths, as in Your Tormentors, where the musics late-night setting hides family secrets. In That was Juarez, This is Alpine, a narrator describes a cross-border journey into a troubled landscape of political division and historical injustice, with the music providing an epic sweep. And Ocean City tells a coming-of-age story set in summer 1974, narrated by a young boy. Adults drink and play gin rummy, and the boardwalk holds lifelong desires. The girl downstairs/Has wavy yellow hair/That Ill be seeing a long time in dreams, Fulks sings.
