Jimbo Mathus (Squirrel Nut Zippers) and The Tri-State Coalition. The former Squirrel Nut Zipper forges a unique collaboration on a new album, due out on Fat Possum Records February 18. OXFORD, Miss.—Few studio albums have had a birth process like Jimbo Mathus’ new release, Dark Night of the Soul. To create his ninth album, the singer-songwriter spent nearly a year going to Dial Back Sound Studio, near his home in Taylor, Mississippi, to work on new tunes. Dial Back Sound, however, isn’t just any conveniently located studio, but one operated by Fat Possum Records’ Bruce Watson, who offered Mathus this extended opportunity to create the follow-up to his highly-regarded Fat Possum debut White Buffalo. Mathus started his journey in Lafayette County, Mississippi in 1967.

Of Italian and Scottish descent, he was immersed in music from the very beginning. By age six, he was playing the mandolin with the family band and by his early teens knew a vast repertoire of Southern folk, blues, gospel and rock and roll. “Mom and Dad were great dancers, hell raisers, and tireless adventurers,” Mathus says. His father and his father’s family and cronies were all musical. Scottish immigrants, they were pioneers in Northeast Mississippi after the Chickasas Land Cession of 1830 and the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek. The men that were of age fought in the Civil War and many died at Shiloh, just a few miles to the northeast of Mathus’ hometown of Corinth, MS. The Mathis clan (Jimbo changed the “i” to a “u” in honor or Mississippian William Faulkner, born “Falkner”) were great fiddlers and had paid their way to America as fiddlers on a steamship.

The “ancestral fiddle” was on the high shelf in Mathis house and Jimbo would take it down on occasion and mess around. 'I wanted to know American music from the inside out, from top to bottom,” he says. “I instinctively knew that there was no fast track to get where I wanted to go to learn what I wanted to know. I came to discover that American music started with the people that came here from somewhere else, with all these cultures contributing something.

Stephen Foster first codified this folk music into songs that America could sing. Horns and strings, borrowed from martial bands and orchestras, were bastardized into jazz and minstrelsy; guitars, souvenirs stolen from Mexicans, were turned into blues and country. Handy, Jimmy Rogers, Charley Patton, Duke Ellington, Chuck Berry, Phil Spector, and the Ramones. They all made American music and all it led somewhere – I was determined to find out where.”. Carsie Blanton. Carsie Blanton is a singer/songwriter based in New Orleans. Her albums range from folk and pop (Buoy, 2009) through Americana and rock (Idiot Heart, 2012; Rude Remarks, 2013), to classic jazz (Not Old, Not New, 2014).

Her live performances, which include material from every album, are praised for their wit, humor, and captivating charm. Carsie has toured extensively throughout North America and Europe since 2006, as a headliner and as support for Paul Simon, The Wood Brothers, Loudon Wainwright III, The Weepies, Shawn Colvin and many more.

In 2013, she raised over $60,000 on Kickstarter for the making of Not Old, Not New. In addition to four full-length albums and two EPs, she has gained popularity for her blog (which tackles questions of love and sexuality) and music videos (including Baby Can Dance and Backbone).

'It might seem counterintuitive for one of Americana’s best modern songwriters to take on the Great (Old) American Songbook but rarely does a little something sound both so inviting and this deep—and, in relighting these songs with the warm glow of the Crescent City (“lazy” and “sleepy” get used a lot), Blanton gives them a new context: sexual liberation as a serious hobby.' - OffBeat Magazine on Not Old, Not New 'Carsie Blanton has hit one out of the park. The singer-songwriter's third album, 'Idiot Heart,' is funny. It's folksy without crossing into the realm of kitsch. The songs are clean, most with basic instrumentation and succinct arrangements, but each track bursts with its own pithy, poignant commentary on that ficklest of organs for which the album is named.' - The Washington Post on Idiot Heart 'Rude Remarks & Dirty Jokes reflects a strong, unabashed sense of self, one she backs up with smartly phrased, well-observed lyrics and songs that show them and her voice to their best advantage.' - Alex Rawls, My Spilt Milk 'Carsie Blanton is a rare talent as a modern songwriter, her sly wit and urbane imagery reminds me of a female Cole Porter.
