Robbie Fulks and Redd Volkaert

Robbie Fulks and Redd Volkaert
7-17-2015

Robbie Fulks is one of the best songwriters this country has to offer, period. Redd Volkaert is among the top Telecaster guitar-slingers you will find anywhere. To have them both together on one stage is a monumental event.

Robbie Fuchs plays by nobody's rules, except the ones he hears in his head. He is prodigiously talented, with the soul of a country singer and the mind of a vaudevillian. Widely regarded as one of the most gifted songwriters to ever ply the trade, he can sing the kids ditty "Eggs" and Haggard's "Sing a Sad Song" back to back and mean 'em both. While it is true he started off a honky tonk smartass, it quickly became evident that Robbie was a monster talent and some of his early Bloodshot albums have been rightly elevated to the status of "classic" and serve as their own Greatest Hits collections. It is a damn shame that he has not been elevated to the ranks of the multi-faceted giants of songwriting like Nick Lowe, Dave Alvin and Harlan Howard. And on top of all that, he is also one of the best guitarists around, whipping out in honky-tonk, country, bluegrass, power pop or whatever he's feeling at the time.

Redd Volkaert  was a guitarist in Merle Haggard's backing band. He also fronted the superstar hillbilly band the "Twangbangers" with Bill Kirchen and Dallas Wayne. In 2009 he won a Grammy for "Best Country Instrumental Performance." If you were a Danny Gatton fan, you will absolutely love Redd. He won the "Best Electric guitarist in Austin" award two years in a row. Redd is all over his Telecaster like grease on a pork chop, quoting jazz, country, blues and Western swing as effortlessly as turning on the lights in the living room.

“The great Robbie Fulks: a Chicago area country/alt-country genius. Why are you still listening to me? ...buy it, buy everything.” - Tina Fey??
"Chicago's most fertile musical mind...so good, he's scary" - Chicago Tribune
"When Leo Fender dreamed up the Telecaster electric guitar, it's doubtful he knew what uses it would be put to, especially in the hands of someone like Redd Volkaert." - Jerry Renshaw, Austin Chronicle?
