Country Love Songs is the debut album by American country and alternative country singer/songwriter Robbie Fulks, released in 1996.

Reception

Шаблон:Album ratings Writing for Allmusic, music critic Jack Leaver referred to Fulks as "cleverly twisted, deliciously irreverent, and one of the best of the new country singer/songwriters" and wrote of the album "Musically, Country Love Songs supplies plenty of hardcore, bottle-tippin', honky tonk country, with a '50s production that sounds like it's supposed to be there. Fulks writes and sings country music that bears little or no resemblance to what dominates the airwaves; rather, his material harks back to an era when humor and dark subject matter shared the same page of a writer's composition book." In a story for No Depression prior to the release of the album, Kevin Roe wrote "Country Love Songs touches all of the right traditional country bases in showcasing Fulks’ knack for memorable melodies and gleefully left-of-center lyrics."
