In an all-time DIY effort, Childers and his band convened to a makeshift home studio nestled in the Bywater District of New Orleans for two weeks to cut 17 tracks that expand Carlisle's sonic scrapbook and capture the off-kilter characters living in his songs. Hailed as \"One of country music's most important and unmistakable voices.\" by PASTE, Carlisle embraced the freedom to wander across genres both familiar and new, testing out instrumentation and toying with the surreality of traditions being turned on their head. \"I think this one goes to outer space,\" says Carlisle. \"This is the widest range of influences that I've ever had. It touches on funk, Americana, Cajun, oldtime, and experimental music.\" Exploration aside, Carlisle's mission as a folksinger largely remains the same - documenting the stories and struggles of the people and balancing the humor and hope of existence. \"I want to write songs that prove the old weird America didn't go anywhere, that we are living and dying for it everyday. I believe there's noble work to do in that context. That if we feel despair, we don't need to because there's so much good work to do.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack listing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Mason Jar At The Center Of The World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGas Station\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse Me Up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGood Morning, Midnight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarlboro Vinyasa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Master's Hammer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContact High\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Universal Bubba, Part One\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Universal Bubba, Part Two\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShe Only Loves Horses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDitchdigger's Song (Dust And The Devil)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSadly Enormous\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Ain't Crazy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed Leather, Yellow Leather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOld Milwaukee Onestep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBigger 'N Dallas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGolden Dragon Buffet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Waiting Room Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":67110383779955,"sku":null,"price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0082\/4315\/0908\/files\/a0312986636_10.jpg?v=1793829767","url":"https:\/\/waitingroomrecords.com\/products\/willi-carlisle-the-universal-bubba","provider":"Waiting Room Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
