myboyblue Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Yeah, I'm definitely a fan of his. "Let's Kill Saturday Night" and "Georgia Rules" are probably my favorite albums of his. However, seeing him live is a real treat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've lived in quite a few areas but mostly in the city and now in the western burbs. I've seen Robbie about 6 times (once opening for Wilco at a free festival). I saw him at Fitzgeralds on December 30th and it was easily the best I've seen by him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 When Robbie is on, he is one of the most fun performers anywhere. His band is great and he is also great solo. I am sure some people don't like his jokey songs, but as a songwriter he is sort of old school, staking alot of the song on the actual words. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BewlayBrother Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 I haven't listened to him in a while, but count me in. Haven't bought an album since Couples in Trouble, but his cover of Believe is the first song I ever acquired from iTunes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

delmarkurt Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Robbie Fulks ia a lot of fun to see live!

Shortage of Cashews Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 One of my favorite lives acts, and more so one of the last great traditional country singer/songwriters though I hesitate to throw the label of country on Robbie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
