-
Mar 30, 2016This is a masterful album, replete with wonderful stories and fully drawn characters.
-
May 19, 2016With his old-timey Upland Stories, Fulks matures into an important voice.
-
Mar 31, 2016He understands these lessons have been learned by every generation and is part of the traditions from which we have emerged. His artistry lies in how he does it, with talent, humor, and grace.

MojoApr 27, 2016Musically it is more diverse [than Gone Away Backward] and his literary influences are to the fore. [Jun 2016, p.91]

Mar 31, 2016As spare and gently satisfying as a warm spring afternoon, Upland Stories is a reminder that the brilliance of Gone Away Backward was no fluke, and that in his mid-fifties, Robbie Fulks is only getting better, both as a songwriter and as a recording artist. Highly recommended.

Apr 4, 2016Robbie Fulks at 53 might be a kinder, gentler version of the rascal of old, but one who has perfected balancing touching, reflective ruminations and a sardonic outlook with effortless aplomb.
