Charlie is for sure the real deal, and totally an approachable guy - none of that pretentious BS we get from most people who experience a smidge of fame. Long live him, I say!

Yep, and if you send him an email he gets right back to you! Really nice guy.

Saw this guy at the Kelly Joe Phelps show when Parr came through Seattle. Had never heard of this guy before but have been listening since. This guy knows how to put on a damn good show. Beginning to end, there was so much energy, and all he did was sit there and play and sing. Blew me away. This man and his music is amazing.

Charlie is one Great player!! ... He speaks of Spider John Koerner. I hung with Koerner in '72 - In Copenhagen. I feel old very listening to this new folk wave generation of player .. who sadly are several generations away from the source (but thanks to old vinyl and KZread can find what took us years and lots of miles to dig up). I was truly lucky enough in my time to know Jean Ritchie, Frank & Anne Warner (check out their collection at the library of Congress), I got to open up for Sam Chatman (Mississippi Sheiks), Pink Andersen, The Balfa Brothers, Lester Flatt, Jimmy Martin, Bill Monroe ... recorded the then very old mt. fiddle, dulcimer & banjo folks who's family's had been there forever (not transplants). Heck, one of my best buddies was Rev. Gary Davis' driver. Those were times! But thanks to people like Charlie Parr and the players, String Bands, etc - those times live on!

I'm not rich enough for one 🤣 But he DID get me interested in learning about open tuning 🤘❤️🤘

Real music from the deep soul.

Late night .. love tis kind of singing und picking very much. Thanks!

once again, you've made my day KEXP. Absolutely love Charlie Parr.

This music is amazing.

Parr is an American LEGEND

Sad to say I never heard about Charlie Parr...as of today I am a fan. Makes me want to learn to play...

Glad I stumbled upon this man's art.

I can't believe the man's formidable skill and talent aren't apparent to you.

I'm living the jubilee I'm 49 turning 50 this year yessir

Used to watch CharParr play on Wednesday nights in Duluth like it was no big deal. No cover charge, just him spitting out song after song just to draw in a crowd to the Brewhouse and sell beer.

Yep same thing watched him play fitgers. Worked across the street from him when he was working adult homeless and I was working at Lifehouse. Glad to see he is getting the recognition he deserves.

Sounds great- looking forward to your next visit to Atlanta, Charlie!

yeah, finally, a resurgence!!! it's been awhile charlie, so thank you!!

Jesus told the woman at the well, I have a well too that once you drink from you'll never thirst again. That well is God's wisdom the feminine principle of our Creator, the virgin untouched by man. Through her all Creation was brought into being. Real music comes from the people that live it and breath it and Charlie is real people. Thanks for sharing your music and your talent with us!

He plays for free every Wednesday night at a local brewpub in Duluth, Minnesota. He is one of the many things that makes the Head of the Lakes a great place to live.

Fantastic!!!

Charlie Parr i twój dzień staje się piękniejszy.

thankyou very much for this

"I was all amped up on yerba mate!"

amazing!

I saw him play live and the very obscure eerie 1920s blues sound was very strong

good job man!! amazing song

pretty good, man. thanks!

Terrific.

Amen heavenly father your will

seen this guy with my sister 3 weeks ago at the red sky bar Mankato mn.... very good

Wow!

Talent.

Close your eyes. Pretend it's 1927.

The boat motor story is endearing...especially the "good for trolling" part.

Old is game !

elliott smith brought me here and I am so grateful

Wow.

incredible music artists on this youtubechannel ........thanks for that KEXP ....best shit i´ve ever heard .....really nice taste of music(for me) ......from now on i´m a big fan ! ....if you want to expand to germany just call me^^

For the people who think he is some yuppie poser, believe me he is not. I live in Minnesota as well. He grew up without a tv and listened to old blues and americana. He is legit as hell

charlie parr mentioned john fahey! nice!!

lol i was going to write almost the same comment. Exactly, another awesome performace.

Come on OMG

fuck yes!

I prefer the mule he plays now. It sounds so much fuller. It's a beautiful instrument.

Dude can play! My neurons just don't fire that fast. Wish they did.

What a maniac. Its like metal but with a slide on an acoustic.

10/10 wb ok

What tuning is this??

Fully agree. And I'm chuckling, cause I don't believe in any religions per se, but certainly in higher powers...and they shine through Charlie when he goes to town.

Where's the stomp box?!?!?

what's the name of that instrument?
