Jake Xerxes Fussell
When I'm Called
80--90点相当
エレキギター一本で弾き語る格好の曲が多い印象だが
今作は、ガットギターやフォークギターの仕様がほとんどで
それら仕様でシンプルなバンドサウンド的な構成のモノも多い。

After nearly a decade with eclectic indie Paradise of Bachelors, Durham-based folksinger Jake Xerxes Fussell moves to another Southern-rooted label, Mississippi's Fat Possum Records. His fifth LP, When I'm Called, reunites him with James Elkington, the U.K-born Chicagoan who produced his previous effort, 2022's marvelous Good and Green Again. Of all his collaborators so far, Elkington might be the most sympathetic, gently urging him into richer sonic pastures while nurturing the attributes that have made Fussell one of the 21st century's greatest folk interpreters. At first blush, When I'm Called bears all the hallmarks of a classic Fussell release: obscure American folk songs, an endearingly laid-back attitude, and that amiable rumbling baritone. But it's also a maturation of the process he began back on his 2015 debut. While Fussell may look to traditional material, he is by no means a traditionalist. His craft has always been the evolution and elevation of his source material.
