Heck yes. Not sure how I stumbled here, but ain’t that the way it is.
Watching this 16+ years after this was recorded... there is a good chance I was sitting on a barstool, drunk off my ass, sipping starfire ale listening to Charlie shread at Fitgers Brewhouse... Now im listening to it in my woodshop, carvinv a walnut ladle!! Holy shit, man a lot has changed for him, me, and the world. Great music defies all time and space... Thanks for all your music Charlie.
Great song Charlie. I feel yer pain man.
When he says about the man who never took out his trash I'm like haha what a fuckin loser then he said he took care of his family and he was a good man I'm like damn that dude sounds pretty cool.
One of the great performances of all music history. Charlie Parr is one of the most talented musicians of all time.
This is beautiful...thank you.
Underestimated man.Amazing.
15 years later and we're still giving all our money to the government and this songs still almost perfect, cheers Charlie!

So good
And the governor still sending the National Guard today :/ great tune

My man
Mate, this guy is the real deal!! Yeeha!
I just saw him play this song live in Kansas City. It was an 8 hr drive from Texas, but worth every mile. I’m glad to see 350K views, because it shows that Mr. Parr is making an impact on people around the world.
This is a great recording. Thank you for sharing it. I love that you can hear his foot tapping on the stage.
Insane fretless banjo. And that's not even his primary instrument. So great!
Anybody got any more tuning insight on this?
killer song
Awesome
Greetings from 2019! The world is still here and Charlie Parr is still making art.
Charlie is a good showman as well as a top rate musician. All the yahoos in the background should be listening to this man as he plays like they will never hear again. Too bad for them. He plays on.....professional.
EPIC!
Really nice version ........great playing.Charlie
Speaks of depression to me... Hauntingly beautiful.
Well I worked all summer couldn't save a cent I gave all my money to the government I don't know quite how it got spent But the banks are coming for my deed, boys Man at the mill can't see, boys To let me get my feed for free, boys Ain't that the way it is Well I cut out down a gravel road I traded my stock for a V-8 Ford Dad's .410 down on the floor board And the titles wrote down to me, boys That gasoline ain't free, boys This clutch wearin' out my knee, boys Ain't that the way it is Well I met me a woman down in St. Paul I even met her mother and I met her Pa Brother told me he'd bust my jaw If I talked to his sister again, boys Told me I couldn't win, boys There's blood running down my chin now Ain't that the way it is Well I slept all night on the bar room floor And woke up this morning my head was sore Pockets empty but I want some more The bar man's got my car, boys Tabs worth more by far, boys I'll leave her down at the bar now Ain't that the way it is
I hitched me a ride on the way back home Got me a job on a family farm Times are hard here and I can't roam And I aint got nothin more Owe that company store, lord Road's looking good for sure Ain't that the way it is
Great stuff!
Please someone translate it in spanish!

Ed's 500 Club in Winona!!....my then girlfriend (now wife) used to live right across the street. MAN I used to get tanked in there. Cheap ham sandwiches on paper plates, ice cold tap beer, and a tornado foosball table. Life was alright. Hooray for Charlie Parr.
chuck is awesome
All these posts are old, I love Charlie right now, the great Charlie Parr
lol, I commented on this vid seven years ago but I still watch it.
I will do the same
Bloody crowd STFU! The man's trying to sing!
thank goodness for KPFT, public radio
I found out about Charlie from KPFT too. not a day has gone since I found out about him that I haven't listened to at least a few songs.
What a scream
Of the live videos I've seen, Charlie's are some of my favorites. I'm going to have to venture far from San Diego if I'm going to see him.
me too, I'm in Texas
Can't beat this!
I love you Charlie. I love you Ed's.
This guy's last name is the same as mine O.O
Wear that name with pride. Not just cause it’s the same as his, but because it’s the name of your family and if they have lasted this long, they have to be worth something good. Have a great day friend
Wow this is pretty cool! :D
Thanks Smith!
what guitar does he use any one know its guyutiful
It's called National Resonator or somethin. I believe you can find a video of him talkin about it... maybe his KEXP appearance..
Its a steel body resonator guitar in a duolian style. National is the gold standard of resonators, not sure which brand he is playing. The resonator in the body is a single cone "biscuit"
+Alex Dolan , National Resophonic.
Absolutely brilliant!
Nice, the real deal. cant stress more following links on the right, youtubes version of shifting thru the record store
