Jake Xerxes Fussell has shared the third single, “Gone To Hilo”, off his upcoming album “When I’m Called” out July 12th via Fat Possum.

Fussell shared this about the song: “It’s important to remember that a lot of the songs we call sea chanties might have only functioned as such for a short period of time before escaping (or becoming culturally irrelevant to) their original contexts. Even in its original work song context, the song abstracts time and place. From whose point of view is this song sung? Who is Johnny? And why is he sometimes ‘Tommy?’ And where is Hilo anyway? Is it Ilo, Peru, or did they mispronounce Hawai’i? And where is Rye-o? Are they singing about Rio de Janeiro or Ryo, Georgia? That’s folk music, baby.”

Jake will be on tour this summer, just started on June 21st and it will run until the end of July and then off to Ireland, the UK and Europe.
