He’s been immersing himself in this community, and that’s part of what he wanted to capture on this record: that dynamic, collaborative aspect of playing together.” “They’re the group of musicians that John fell in with when he moved to Tulsa, and he became one of them. “They’re my first call when I bring session musicians in, even though they’re four hours up the road,” says Weinheimer, who is based in Little Rock, Ark., but started his career in Tulsa. “I’ve made 20 records with Paddy.” The other players on Fullbright’s album include guitarists Jesse Aycock and Stephen Lee, upright bassist Paul Wilkes, and electric bassist Aaron Boehler. “For example, the drummer on The Liar is Paddy Ryan,” Weinheimer says. Fullbright’s first album in eight years, The Liar (September 2022, Thirty Tigers), is a testament to his close-knit community of talented Oklahoma musicians, whom engineer/producer/musician Jason Weinheimer calls the “Tulsa Usual Suspects.” Since releasing his Grammy-nominated album Songs in 2014, singer/songwriter John Fullbright has been spreading himself thinner: playing keys on other artists’ records and jamming with other local musicians.
