Jake Xerxes Fussell returns with The Old Beloved Path in September

Durham, North Carolina picker Jake Xerxes Fussell continues to thoughtfully mess with tradition on The Old Beloved Path.

Here's the scoop...

Singer, guitarist, and folk music interpreter Jake Xerxes Fussell returns with his new album, The Old Beloved Path, in stores September 18th. Over six unique and very personal studio albums, Fussell has found his musical future by reimagining, re-orchestrating, and reunifying the past. By combining different traditional music sources in a completely original way, he routinely creates fresh works of art that are at once rooted in history and ingeniously modern.

Writes Jake...

"Here are some things about this record. It features Dominic Billet on drums, percussion, & piano, Isa Burke on fiddle, piano, mandolin & harmony singing, Wayne Horvitz on the harmonica, Ben Whiteley on bass & organ, & Ken Whiteley on the bass harmonica.
"Alli Rogers recorded it at Betty’s near Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Steve Fallone at Sterling Sound did the mastering. Ben Whiteley mixed & produced it. I am fortunate to have worked with such a stellar cast of players & am immensely grateful to all of them.
"The record cover & jacket layout were designed by Max Taeuschel & it features a photograph of a street scene from my hometown, Columbus, Georgia, taken in the early 1980s by my dad Fred Coulter Fussell. The album’s title is borrowed from my late friend & guitar teacher Billy Winn, 1938-2026.
"Like my other albums, this is a collection of mostly traditional songs sourced from a number of contexts, people & situations. More about those soon…!"

'The Old Beloved Path" will be released in full by Fat Possum Records on September 18. You can pre-order it now via your platform of choice right here. Listen to Jake's arrangement of 'Rock Island Line' along with a recent live performance (below).

For the latest Honky Tonk Jukebox show, host Bryan C returns to the old reliable drinking song which has become a lost art.
