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.

It saddens me that stuff like THIS isn't on the radio! This man has loads of talent and his music is awesome!

never heard a haunting tune like this... just bought all available albums cheers from austria

Charlie puts on a great show! Love the writing, too.

Thanks for posting! Charlie is amazing! There should be as much footage as possible!

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.

Feeling good.. Thanks from New Hampshire

Love the guitar work on this tune.....thanks

keep going, Charlie, we need more awesome in the world! (pure genius, from the heart)

Awesome.

You rock my man.

Lovely playing - i'll have to check out some more of Charlie Parr's music.

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.

thank goodness for KPFT, public radio

Nice, the real deal. cant stress more following links on the right, youtubes version of shifting thru the record store

it is, if the song listed as track 2 on the album King Earl is to be trusted, "Possessed by the Devil"

this guy kicks arse

This is unbelievable.

every night I wake up and see crazy dreams

Its a little foggy right away due to the fact thats it's Minnesota and the camera came in from outside. But it clears up quickly

Update: DADF#AD sounds even better the way he plays it I think.

Charlie's a true gem. Thanks for posting.

From the same crazy dream.

Like Eddie Vedder meets appalachia, I like it!

Holding the third fret of the B string alot and hammering the 2nd fret of the D string.

yeah man I sent them a message asking them to put it back up but no reply. that songs awesome

I think you're right Thim. Although on the studio recording he detunes. Sounds better capo 2 DGDGBD?

The 3rd fret B acts as the slide.

For the guitarists, I think the tuning is DADDAD. I'm still not really sure if it's 100% correct but it sounds pretty like it. Please comment if you think it's different.

Anybody got any more tuning insight on this?

Is it just me or do these top comments only make about 80% sense

Speaks of depression to me... Hauntingly beautiful.

@MolotovTNT because you get the blues on some rotten backporch somewhere out in the country. because those guys nowadays are the antidote to hipsters. but they by far all look like lumberjacks.... watch the movie THE FOLKSINGER by SLOWBOAT FILMS to get it....

You found KING EARL anywhere buddy?

what kind of guitar is he playing some kind of dobro?

he plays a national resonator, i think national own dobro anyway
