Fat Possum Records is a label that was established in 1991 with the sole purpose of recording R.L. Burnside. Over time, it evolved into a mission to discover and record the last remaining original bluesmen before they passed away. Despite facing various challenges such as difficult personalities, limited songs, and a raw sound that didn't fit the mainstream blues market, these artists possessed immense talent and truly lived the blues.

In recent years, Fat Possum has expanded its catalog to include newer indie blues rock bands alongside their traditional offerings.

Milwaukee, WI-based Buffalo Nichols releases his anticipated new album The
Fatalist via Fat Possum. The follow-up to his 2021 self-titled debut LP for Fat Possum–a critically acclaimed
record that earned him his network television debut on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,
various major festival performances, and rave coverage via NPR Music (All Songs
Considered, Tiny Desk (Home) Concert), Rolling Stone, Guitar World, Texas Monthly, and
more – The Fatalist sounds unlike any blues record you’re likely to hear in 2023. The lead
single captures songwriter, guitarist, and vocalist Carl
Nichols singing of salvation and relief in his soundscape that teems with the joyous
claustrophobia of classic gospel. Sampled triggers of Charley Patton’s version connect the
earliest blues recordings to the present, both singers’ voices urgent in their message. Nichols
explains: “A traditional song made modern. Which aspects of ‘the Blues’ are essential? Is it a
melody? A certain vocabulary? Delivery? Instrumentation? Is this still a blues song? And
most importantly: who gets to decide? I tried to reimagine the blues with this song as if it
were allowed to grow and progress uninterrupted, uncolonized and ungentrified.”
