Fuse is an album by Joe Henry, released in 1999.
Production
The album was co-produced by T Bone Burnett, and partly mixed by Daniel Lanois. Henry initially attempted to have Dr. Dre produce Fuse.
Critical reception
The A.V. Club wrote that the album "continues to develop Trampoline's spooky style of bluesy Americana." The Chicago Reader wrote that "the entire album exudes a kind of sweet, danceable darkness, with sparse drum loops, moody bass lines, and delicate guitar and synthesizer washes."
