Eight of its nine songs are traditional pieces arranged by Fussell; the opener, \"No 1,\" is his own composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was recorded by Alli Rogers at Betty's in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, produced and mixed by Ben Whiteley at Casa Wroxton, and mastered by Steve Fallone at Sterling Sound. The album's announcement describes a deliberately simple studio approach, aimed at capturing the musicians playing live together in one room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBen Whiteley plays upright and electric bass, reed organ, mandolin, guitar and synthesizer. Isa Burke adds fiddle, piano, guitar, mandolin and harmony vocals, and Dominic Billett plays drums, percussion, piano, reed organ and synthesizer and sings harmony. Wayne Horvitz sits in on harmonica and Ken Whiteley on bass harmonica.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe railroad song \"Rock Island Line\" was the lead single. Fussell has said that simply singing its verses was not working for him, and after hearing a Lonnie Donegan recording he joined the song to an old English nursery rhyme, \"Intry Mintry.\" The album's press notes call \"Boney\" a traditional tune rarely played, let alone recorded, and \"Boll Weevil\" a traditional American classic. \"Every Time I Go to Town\" is also known as \"They Gotta Quit Kickin' My Dog Around.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Traditional music gets more intense the older I get,\" Fussell said of the record. \"The way that I see the world is through these songs.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe front cover is a photograph by his father, the folklorist and photographer Fred C. Fussell, of the Ace-Hi Inn on 10th Street in Columbus, Georgia, taken in the early 1980s. Columbus is where Fussell grew up; as a teenager he apprenticed with the Piedmont blues guitarist Precious Bryant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRock Island Line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvery Time I Go to Town\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRosin Some\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoney\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarly Early in the Spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoll Weevil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSandy Land\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOf All the Beast-es in the World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 767981189116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fat Possum Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.18.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Fat Possum Records","offers":[{"title":"NEW \/ NEW","offer_id":48226566242462,"sku":"767981189116","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/8801\/1422\/files\/JXF_TOBP_-_Mockup_LP_-_Black_65bfbb3e-29e8-486e-ac92-9c76e036f8bc.jpg?v=1790007012","url":"https:\/\/evergreenvinyl.com\/products\/jake-xerxes-fussell-the-old-beloved-path-lp","provider":"Evergreen Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
