On September 27, Good Country and BGS debuted our brand new variety show, the Good Country Goodtime, at Dynasty Typewriter in Los Angeles. The inaugural show, hosted by country and bluegrass singer-songwriter Robbie Fulks, featured comedy, country, and performances by musicians Victoria Bailey and Aubrie Sellers, comedian and actor Kurt Braunohler, and our all-star Goodtime house band led by the Coral Reefers’ Mick Utley.
Dynasty Typewriter is one of LA’s premier spaces for comedy, music, podcasts, improv, and so much more. The very first Good Country Goodtime was captured by the venue’s state-of-the-art cameras and we’re so excited to begin sharing exclusive sessions pulled from our debut edition of the show with our readers and fans. To kick off the new series, we’re highlighting our impeccable host for the evening, Robbie Fulks.
For one of his several selections during the variety show, Fulks performed “I Just Lived a Country Song,” a sardonic and self-referential western-flavored tune all about the hilarious and lonesome ups-and-downs of a life lived within country tropes. The original number trots along, propelled by the first-rate pickers in our Goodtime band, while it follows the rise and fall of a perhaps fictional country star.
It’s a perfect representation of Fulks’ dry, hilarious style β which fit in perfectly to our vision for the brand new Good Country Goodtime. Comedy and country have always gone hand-in-hand and this tradition is safe in good hands with multi-hyphenate musicians like Fulks. Between his deadpan one liners, delightfully sarcastic line reads, and heartfelt renditions of originals and covers alike β including a show-stopping acoustic homage to Kris Kristofferson, who had recently passed β Fulks epitomized the kind of fun-filled, country community-centered evenings we hope to host regularly at Dynasty Typewriter in 2025.
Enjoy Fulks’ performance of “I Just Lived a Country Song” and stay tuned for more songs and silliness from our very first Good Country Goodtime coming to you soon right here on BGS and Good Country.
