Our old pal Todd Nolan from Nashville Tennessee brings us a barn-burner of an album this week. The Geraldine Fibbers' sophomore - and final - record, 'Butch', is a weird, wild amalgamation of alt-country, punk, Appalachian fiddle music, speed metal and anything/everything in between. Anchored by the raw, poetic story-songs of Carla Bozulich and stellar musicianship of the band - including guitar-God Nels Cline - it's ultimately Carla's gravely, angelic voice that seals the deal. Songs featured in this episode: California Tuffy (Live, Paris TV) - The Geraldine Fibbers; The Man Comes Around - Johnny Cash; Devil's Johnson - Ethyl Meatplow; Lilybelle - The Geraldine Fibbers; Drove Up From Pedro - Mike Watt; California Tuffy, Toybox, I Killed The Cuckoo - The Geraldine Fibbers; Time of the Preacher - Carla Bozulich; Trashman In Furs - The Geraldine Fibbers; Venus In Furs - The Velvet Underground; Swim Back To Me - The Geraldine Fibbers; Strange Fruit - Billie Holliday; Seven Or In 10 - The Geraldine Fibbers; Go Your Own Way - Fleetwood Mac; Claudine, Folks Like Me, Pet Angel, Butch - The Geraldine Fibbers; Marquee Moon - Television; Arrow To My Drunken Eye - The Geraldine Fibbers; Man-Size Sextet - PJ Harvey; You Doo Right, The Dwarf Song, Heliotrope - The Geraldine Fibbers

S6E253 - The Geraldine Fibbers 'Butch' with Todd Nolan

When Nashville resident Todd Nolan was working at a South Florida record store in 1994, Johnny Cash was not particularly on his radar. But then a record came in to the shop produced by Rick Rubin on his new "American Recordings" label - Johnny Cash's 81st - and the stark presentation coupled with the heft of JC's voice grabbed him and sent him on a musical train ride of the man and the genre he's still traveling on. Let the train blow the whistle!
