Hey! This is my pick! I felt it was criminal that more people didn't know about this guy, I'm so glad you picked it and enjoyed! Hopefully I can surprise you more in the future. Cheers!

Robbie is a friend of mine and a favorite of most musicians in Chicago. Not only is he a great (and edge of chaos) guitar player. He is genuinely one of America’s greatest living songwriters. I did a long interview with him on my channel for those who are interested. It was mid pandemic and the audio isn’t great, be we do go deep on his thoughts about music and songwriting. Check out his albums, especially Upland Stories, Gone Away Backward, and Bluegrass Vacation. Thanks for bringing attention to Robbie. He’s one of my musical heroes.

“Fountains of Wayne Hotline” is fantastic. A tribute to Fountains of Wayne that sounds exactly like them. Safe to say Robbie Fulks is a talented man.

He's got it all. Great voice. Great songs. Great-great guitar playing. Robbie is also as funny as most stand-up comedians between songs.

i have seen Robbie Fulks in sweden 6 or 7 years ago and he was smashing live and the talks in betwen songs was hilarius and i only understan half of it. sorry for my bad spelling

The man is playing those chords in every which way possible holding down rhythm, lead, vocals and percussion. Every bit clean as a whistle and he's not even breaking a sweat. I wouldn't clip my strings either if I got a month's use out of them in a single tune.

I have seen him live many times. He is a consummate entertainer. Whether solo, with full band, or single accompanying musician, he is always ENTERTAINING! And he gave guitar lessons to Tina Fey.

Robbie does it all. Writes, sings, and plays great! Not many artists can release a trio like "Georgia Hard", "Gone Away Backwards", and "Upland Stories" back-to-back-to-back.

Long time Chicagoan lover of Robbie---sooo cool that you did this--you are both great guitar champs--thanks mucho

Robbie Fulks is a genius. First heard his Country Love Songs album and was hooked. South Mouth is also outstanding. Funny, occasionally dark and amazing on guitar. Writes poignant lyrics. Grammy nominated, too. Wonderful live. He has some amazing live videos on KZfaq from The Hideaway nightclub in Chicago where he does musical mashups to hilarious effect. For instance Leonard Cohen and Lynyrd Skynyrd or Lou Reed and Jerry Reed. He has a great track that superbly combines music and comedy called Fountains of Wayne Hotline. Incredible talent and humor. Like Tom Russell, one of modern American music's unsung heroes.

I have been waiting forever for you to see this performance

Robbie Fulks is so singularly brilliant I often wonder if it gets lonely being him

after being a fan of his since the "south mouth" album, i just saw him live for the first time last night. he's currently on tour with bill kirchen, and robbie went note for note with bill the whole night

Wow - that was the definition of FUN guitar thats at the same time a WORKSHOP of technique - thanks for sharing this one !!!!!!!!!

Not only an amazing musician but also a showman. I would love to see him perform in person. Thanks for sharing.

Glad Robbie is getting some love. Listening for years. Got to see him at a bluegrass festival last year.

Let's hear it for this Chicago native!

Sooooo glad you finally discovered this guy and his incredible talent! I've seen him nearly a dozen times and have chatted a bit with him -- cover a good chunk of his stuff, this one included!! If you're into the bluegrass style, check out his new album Bluegrass Vacation!

....and the single greatest entertainer ive ever seen ....absolutely hilarious story teller .......and being in my mid 70s ive seen hundreds.

This is what I love most about this channel. Finding these hidden gems shared via your community. Love me the Grateful Dead analysis, but finding artists I would never learn of otherwise is what makes this place special!

LOVE his playing and his name!! must have fun in grade school

So incredibly good!! Thanks❤

Robbie is no sleeper to us familiar with his work over the years. One of the greats. And yes, Robbie is being playful ..... and he might play this song differently each time he picks up the guitar.

Love the picking! Great pick today Michael Palmisano!

I've seen him twice in person, and he's great, with a Koettke or Lovett type dry between songs patter that will have you howling. Also, Michael- be sure to check his tune "Aunt Peg's New Old Man". I know you have bluegrass/old-time DNA - this is a clawhammer tribute to a musician aunt of his. I think you'll enjoy it.

Worth mentioning that that was Robbie from about 20 years ago ...... now twenty years even better

This is the content I’m here for. I love how many people I’ve discovered from this channel

My all time favorite artist.

He's a pretty killer clawhammer banjo player as well, not to mention singer and songwriter.

He writes smart lyrics on top of it all.

He was Tina Fey's guitar teacher. And he's not overly fond of Nashville.

I'm just sitting here about halfway through the video, cracking up, thinking, "Wait 'til he gets to that solo!"

In the latter days of exchanging mix-tapes with people I often used to include Robbie Fulks for recipients. Always went down well. If I recall, things like 'Down In Her Arms' from Let's Kill Saturday Night (whole different electric side to Robbie) and 'South Richmond Girl'. I associate him with that Insurgent Country thing but, as a songwriter he has a lot of different facets and moods - straight-down-the-line, rebellious, goofy, sometimes quite moving...

Thst PRS is so freaking dope!

He has released 15 albums over a career spanning more than 30 years.

I would love to hear your thoughts on "Mugison - Murr Murr (Live on KEXP)" from 11 years ago.

Knows his stuff.

Would love to see you take on Goose doing Empress of Organos with Jake and Joel from Umphrey’s 🔥🔥 absolute filth

He was a youngster back then

Michael what amp are you playing through?

Better than anything released by Nashville in the past 20 years.

Basically a re-write of Truck Drivin’ Man but love Robbie.

When anyone tries to tell me Clapton is a great guitarist I show them Robbie.

Reminds of me Glen Campbell

broo we need radiohead reaction videosss

Could you please react to an Arctic Monkeys performance?! I would love to see a reaction on I bet you look good on the dancefloor live at Glastonbury 2013!

Is he playing an everly bros guitar?

yes he is! he hates nashville with a passion
