Charlie Parr’s newest album, Last Of The Better Days Ahead, is a collection of powerful new songs about how one looks back on a life lived, as well as forward on what’s still to come.
Its spare production foregrounds Parr’s poetic lyricism, his expressive, gritty voice ringing clear over deft acoustic guitar playing that references folk and blues motifs in Parr’s own exploratory, idiosyncratic style.
