Various - Fat Possum Records 2016 Spring Sampler

Review by Chris Behnke

The Fat Possum Records 2016 Spring Sampler by Various is an eclectic mix of tracks that showcases the label's diverse range of artists. From the gritty blues rock of The Black Keys to the soulful R&B of Charles Bradley, this compilation has something for everyone.

The album opens with the raucous "Lonely Boy" by The Black Keys, setting the tone for the high-energy tracks that follow. Other standout songs include Andrew Bird's "Capsized," a hauntingly beautiful ballad that showcases his signature violin playing, and the funky "Nobody But You" by Charles Bradley.

One of the strengths of this compilation is its ability to seamlessly blend different genres and styles. The psychedelic rock of Temples sits comfortably alongside the soulful blues of Fat White Family, while the dreamy pop of Yuck provides a nice contrast to the more hard-hitting tracks.
