Parr is a folk artist for the new American Dust Bowl, a resonator-ready
troubadour armed with a well-worn satchel of troubled tales that cut to the
heart of a nation mired in fear and in dire need of a roots-music revival.
-Acoustic Guitar Taking acoustic blues and folk to the darkest edges of town via
driving arrangements which emphasize steam-driven tempos and a doom-slinging
attitude over spit and Polish studio shine, Parr nonetheless manages to sound
both breathtakingly immediate and authentically antiquated at the same time. -No
Depression Charlie Parr has made his career hollering, picking, and stomping his
way through the Midwest and beyond, leaving a trail of fine records that feel
just a shade away from the great rural folk and blues songs of Harry Smiths epic
Anthology of American Folk Music. CHARLIE PARR is the eponymous new album by the
Minnesota-based folk blues artist the same name. The album is a collection of
new songs and new studio versions of classics/ audience favorites from
throughout Parrs career. Recorded at Pachyderm Studio in Canon Falls, MN,
CHARLIE PARR features Charlies trademark resonator guitar and 12-string with
co-producer Liz Draper on bass, longtime collaborator Mikkel Beckmen on
percussion, Jeff Mitchell on electric guitar, accordion, organ, backing vocals,
and Dave Hundrieser on harmonica. The album is an honest and raw recording of
Parr reflecting on himself and his career up to this point. Its a musical
reckoning that came after a freak accident less than a year ago that forced him
to relearn how to play guitar, causing him to take stock of the songs hes
written over his lifetime. Its a bit of the new, a bit of the old, and a bit of
whats motivated and moved him. Most importantly, its an audio tour of his life
and career to date and a celebration of more songs and stories to come. CHARLIE
PARR is a stunning folk record that will surely stand the test of time, just
like the man himself.
