Singer, guitarist, and folk music interpreter JAKE XERXES FUSSELL announces a fall North American tour in support of his new album, When I’m Called, out this Friday via Fat Possum. Following previously announced West Coast and European dates, Fussell will be touring the East Coast and Midwest, including shows in Brooklyn, Chicago, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, and more. He will cap off 2024 with a hometown show at the Haw River Ballroom in Saxapahaw, NC.
When I’m Called sees Fussell returning to a well of music that holds lifelong sentimental meaning, contemplating the passage of time and the procession of life’s unexpected offerings. Recognized for his compelling transliterations of traditional music, Fussell took an atypical approach to the material on When I’m Called, often constructing the music from the ground up before considering what existing source material could be applied to the song. It’s his richest work to date, a slate of warm instrumental textures abetting his glowing guitar and weathered baritone.
Produced by James Elkington and mixed by Tucker Martine with additional contributions from Elkington (guitar), Joan Shelley (vocals), Anna Jacobson (horns), Jean Cook (strings), Blake Mills (guitar), Joe Westerlund (drums, percussion), and Robin Holcomb (vocals), When I’m Called finds Fussell honoring traditions while carrying them into a new generation’s field of vision. He’s charted his own terrain of growth and change without any hurry toward a destination, and in his guitar-guided meditations, Fussell plucks at the threads that keep humanity knotted together.
