Last summer, singer, guitarist, and folk music interpreter Jake Xerxes Fussell released his fifth album, „When I’m Called“, via Fat Possum to widespread acclaim, with The Wall Street Journal praising it as a “terrific argument for the power of the folk tradition, and a convincing demonstration of how much a thoughtful singer and musician can communicate through the words of others.” Today, Fussell unveils his version of Arthur Russell’s “Close My Eyes,” a song which he has frequently performed live in the last year, and in conjunction, announces new dates on his massive spring/summer North American andEU/UK tour. Fussell kicks off the North American leg later this month in Denver and will continue through the West Coast and South, followed by a June European tour. He will pick back up in North America in July and continue into the fall in the EU/UK.
