Album Description
Available in:
In 2013, Fulks released Gone Away Backwards, which was recorded and mixed by Steve Albini. The record was released on Bloodshot Records. The album features banjo, mandolin, fiddle, upright bass, and is Fulks' first record for Bloodshot since 2001's 13 Hillbilly Giants.[22] "That’s Where I’m From" is a song Fulks cites as being autobiographical.[23] Four songs from 50-Vc. Doberman were the genesis of Gone Away Backwards.[24] The title of the record comes from the book Isaiah in The Bible, where God says to the Israelites: "Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward."[25] Fulks said the words struck him as a "country phrase."

Gone Away Backwards is an acoustic record, and is a lot more like the back porch / living room music that his family used to do as a kid than what he was doing in his 20s and 30s, so "it's kind of 'Gone Backwards'" to that, as the title says, Fulks says. Fulks said that the stylistic idea of the record was focused around the acoustic quintet of players on the record - Robbie Gjersoe, Jenny Scheinman, Mike Bubb (Del McCoury Band), the studio where the record was recorded, and the older country music and pre-bluegrass music -- and also Fulks' age. Reflective, sometimes sad record, but also with some light moments as well. Recorded live without overdubs and without playback but they "recorded 2 dozen songs over 3 and a half days, so there was a lot of material to edit from."[26]
