Album Description
Available in:
"Out of Sight" is the third full-length release from the North Carolina folk singer-songwriter Jake Xerxes Fussell, featuring traditional songs many close to or over 100 years old.
At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from critics, the album received an average score of 87, based on 6 reviews, indicating "Universal acclaim ".
User Album Review
At its best, Out of Sight is timeless, both contemporary and not, its logic and concerns relatable, its arrangements neither rigidly authentic nor conspicuously modern. While this strategy might yield middlebrow twang in lesser hands, Fussell steps into the space naturally. On his earlier solo recordings, he created an ambience with only his guitar and voice; this album is his first to feature a band on all tracks. Drums make any patch of folk melody sound “new,” but can be a challenge to pull off without diminishing the music’s atemporal mysteries. On “The Rainbow Willow,” especially, Fussell’s next-level mellowness seems to emanate through the surrounding players, particularly pedal steel guitarist Nathan Golub and drummer Nathan Bowles (himself an acclaimed modern folk revivifier). When the rhythm section falls into this mode, they find that ambience, too—a warm and collective musical charisma that defines the sound of Out of Sight.
