Tuesday marks the national release of “The Fatman Cometh & World of Wonder,” a deluxe album by Kristi Rose and Fats Kaplin. Fats has performed with Jack White as part of the Buzzards, and has played a range of instruments with a range of artists that include Buddy Miller, Jim Lauderdale, and Paul Burch in his decades in music. Combined with his other half, Kristi Rose, they pilot the genre of Pulp Country, and what an enthralling, intimate, singular soundscape it is. The video “All is Gone” parallels their style by creating drama from very few elements. Witness a fantastic show at the Basement tonight at 7pm, pick up the album, and keep glancing back at the bar in hopes of seeing Kinky Friedman leaning in the shadows. -Terra James-Jura
