He is, according to Ann Powers of NPR, maybe the leading interpreter of American folk music right now…Fussells most recent album When Im Called was released to critical acclaim by Fat Possum Records in the summer of 2024. The album was produced by James Elkington a nd features Blake Mills (guitars), Ben Whiteley (bass), and Joe Westerlund (drums), along with additional vocals from Joan Shelley and Robin Holcomb.Fussell and Elkington also wrote and recorded the music for Rebuilding , a new feature film directed by Ma x Walker – Silverman that is set to premiere at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival.Fussells music often comes with complex citations; he is a folksinger in the truest sense, collecting ideas and melodies and lyrics from distant and disparate traditions, lo oking for the things that unite us in our humanity. – The New Yorker
