Charlie Parr is the eponymous new album by the Minnesota-based folk blues artist. It is a collection of new songs and new studio versions of classics and audience favorites. It features Charlie’s trademark resonator guitar and 12-string with co-producer Liz Draper on bass, 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. It’s 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 his catalog of songs.
