“It’s time to make a change,” Robbie Fulks declares at the start of his latest record "Now Then", resisting a world that demands greater conformity by the day.

Fulks' trademark is manipulation of language. No one can turn a phrase or idea so economically. He loves words too much to waste them.

"I heard one song and was immediately a fan for life. 'She Took A Lot Of Pills And Died' embodies everything that makes Fulks great. It’s gleefully irreverent without being cruel, literate without being pretentious, laugh-out-loud funny, and catchy as hell. Fulks was able to capture the essence of so many show-business tragedies in eight brutally unsentimental, ruthlessly efficient words." - A.V. Club

"Robbie Fulks is one of the funniest singer-songwriters in America, or one of the most sobering, depending on which mindset you find him or yourself in. To say that he's been one of the best singer-songwriters in American roots music over the last quarter-century would be correct, and maybe a little reductive too. He’s one of the best writers in America period.” - Variety
