I know I said in reviewing Gone Away Backward that I wouldn't collect him at B plus (folk/country in general), but I already have this, and will probably end up keeping Upland Stories (Christgau full A, so it's probably great), so I suppose I will keep this too. I do like it marginally better than Gone Away Backward. Probably should have given that one an honorable mention rather than B plus. I note that it is his highest user-reviewed album on Allmusic, but probably wouldn't be if it had as many reviews as Upland Stories. Keeping this and Upland Stories also has the benefit of owning both of his albums graded in the A range by both Christgau and Hull.
Before Nov 2020, grades range from 5 stars to 3.5 stars. After that, grade range is: 10 (A+), 9.5 (high A), 9 (A), 8.5 (high A-), 8 (A-), 7.5 (high B+), 7 (B+). Ungraded albums are honorable mention :-), neutral :-|, negative :-(. At least 3 listens per album. Search "Grade Post" for more info. [I shelved/sold 10,000-12,000 albums before starting this blog and will add entries for some of those as they come up. If you don't see an album, it doesn't mean I don't know it.]

Robbie Fulks - Georgia Hard: 3.5 stars
