Greetings from 2019! The world is still here and Charlie Parr is still making art.

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.

I would honestly travel to America just to go to Ed's in hope of seeing this guy...Amazing work it gives me real goosebumps! Wishing success from Scotland!

Charlie is in most eyes undiscovered. But hes done some national and international(Europe) tours and blown countless minds along the way. This is a small pub in the middle of Minnesota so not southern, and not hick (no offense meant) Its one of the hippest and coolest bars around, but it is small (we like to call it intimate). Charlie has a big fondness with Winona so he is kind enough to grace us with his presence quite often. And since this is where i live, this is where i taped him.

Thanks Smith!

I saw Charlie Parr open for B.B. King at the State Theatre...so so good.

If admittedly this is the only thing in your life you do with "any confidence", you're probably selling yourself short in many other areas of your life. In a world where music that is objectively good is very limited, this is a breath of fresh air. I love this song, Charlie. Don't stop doing what you do.

15 years later and we're still giving all our money to the government and this songs still almost perfect, cheers Charlie!

Could not agree more, love that commercial just coz off this song. Took me a while to find it, but soooo happy i did :D.

Two weeks and counting until this marvelous performer appears here in my hometown. I could listen to these Tidewater licks all day - a very special musician.

Yes I downloaded it via itunes - nice to have it on the iPOD. And it appears to be the Vodafone ad version. I've got this (clip) version on my myspace mp3 player....all good stuff hey? The power of the internet!

Another Dutchie here wondering why he didn't find this sooner... better than not at all though. *grin* Beautiful guitarplay -beautiful guitar, for that matter, great voice, great atmoshpere... Just... great. Tapping the foot on the floor gave this live version that little unexplainable extra... or that's just how Charlie Parr is. *hits 'replay' for the umpteenth time*

i curse the fact that in live in Minnesota many times but i do have the great Charlie Parr in my neck of the woods

I hear of this guy due to a mobile phone ad! Beautiful simple, no frills music. Go Charlie!!

Yup :) Just bought it meself and the more I listen to it the more I like it. The first time I ever heard this song was in a commercial for "Vodafone" where this bloke wraps up his whole apartment, cd collection, wardrobe,wardrobe,girlfriend,books and puts them all in his pocket while this song is playing in the background then it forwards to a picture of the phone meaning you can carry your whole world in your "Vodafone" very clever I thought :)

It's awesome. We in Holland discovered him by a new Vodafone commercial. I'm listening to all of his music now at youtube!

I'm a new fan!! Out of this world!

Well i may have to fly to another state, just to listen to mr charlie parr the great but im used to missing out on the best and havin to listen to all the rest but aint that the way it is.

This guy is freakin' ridiculous. I hope he is back in Buffalo soon. A truly mesmerizing talent.

Just wanna say on this blog a big thanks to springfed for having such quality videos of charlie parr whom obviously has been gracing ed's bar with his talent well before our exposure to him through a phone ad. I would really love to see him come to perth australia to share the blues lov'in.

Saw him Sat night supporting Paul Kelly in Geelong - had the audience in the palm of his hand! Was wearing the same outfit, too! ;) Such a good guy, talked to him out in the foyer, and my sister got her copy of his album signed. He gained lots of new fans!

Love this dude and his music. I have to thank some phone company using his sound in an ad some time ago.

I saw this wonderful man play pickathon sunday evening on the starlight stage. I didn't see many performances during the weekend but I watched every moment of this one

@HighDrummer1 He makes it over to the UK a couple times every year. Keep an eye on his touring schedule.

Found this song ages ago, first time seen live. Bloody brilliant. on my playlist always!

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.

Absolutely brilliant!

i met him once after a gig and he signed my guitar. He is a very nice man.

If he ain't been to the Crossroads - he sure don't need to go. As a blues player he the real deal - echoes of the guys who put it all together - the stuff the Rolling Stones listened to half a century ago.

What a lovely song, I'm buying this album.

Seen Charlie at Ed's Tonight....another great show....Rock on Charlie!!!

Any this was my first parr show!

this guy rocks. Why do I live in the city when all the good music is out in the stix. Thanks for the tune.

Absolutely love this performance and song! Incredible!!!!

such a great song. i wish more people new about this guy hes so great.

wow geweldige muziek!

Just saw Charlie perform tonight in Brisbane Australia. EXCELLENT!

Very nice. He's got such an authenticity to his music. Great song.

Come to Perth Charlie when ya tour here in Australia. So many eastern states gig's and we miss out guddammit...

me too - hubby and i saw him last night before paul kelly - he was fantastic!

I love you Charlie. I love you Ed's.

Yeah, the commercial started here in Holland a few weeks ago. I even ordered one of his cd's and got a very nice mail from charlie''s wife. And Charlie has myspace!

i'm from duluth and its one of my biggest regrets having never seen charlie play live. he's the real deal.

well kiss my grits.... this guy is lethal!!!

Just received my order of cd's in the mail today. Took around 18 days but time well waited lifes good :)

This man is brilliant! I love every single one of his songs. He kinda reminds me of a swedish troubadour called Cornelis Vreeswijk.

Watched all of the clips from that performance and i have to say hes shit hot. Youre privileged to have seen that live in that intimate bar lol the sound would have been unreal in such a small stage.

I just checked out his gig line up and to my jaw droppin disbelief he's playin at the charles hotel blue's club here in perth OMG. Hell n highwater couldnt stop me. Cya there :D Ferk Yeah...

This dude is a certified badass! I'm proud that he is a fellow Minnesotan.

Thank you Charlie you rock as does ed's

this song is soooooooooooooooooooo well written/composed.

The Charlie Parr fix dammn yeah

All these posts are old, I love Charlie right now, the great Charlie Parr

Great song!! lol dialogue right at the end charlie - "thats called 1922" some drunk guy - "no its not" charlie - "yes it is!"

Clever! Very clever blues - Wish there was a video of 'Bonneville' as well!

AWESOME!

Just saw this great musician last night In Pine Lodge in Mytrlevile Co Cork.

Can't beat this!

It's amazing that a song can sound so happy while having lyrics that are so depressing (if you're the guy in the song, anyway). That's a rare gift.

amazing

thankyou

you rock my soul Charlie

this video is amazing...fantastic version of a fantastic song

Love Charlie Parr and love Ed's

I love it, would have been a good night to get on the piss and listen to the goods.

Just saw him with Trampled By Turtles @ the Cabooze in Minneapolis. He was amazing.

True champ!

Awesome song.

that is the way it is, he said it just right.

Cool, thx for the reply.

i finally found out what this song was! thankyou vodafone for introducing me to a hidden gem i'd have never heard of

like to shake this mans hand

Its definitely charlie on the ad, its from his album, buy it and you'll know. the album was from a few years ago. plus the beard and voice (mind you its january in minnesota) makes him look older than he actually is. and jbt is great, but this is americana roots blues, a whole another thing. if your looking for more contemporary artists along these lines check out william elliot whitmore from iowa. another beautiful weathered voice.

"That's called 1922." "NOOOOO it's not..." haha awesome

This man has Soul

very good artist and guitare player !!=)

It's a National Style O. Beautiful ring on them.

His schedule is listed on his myspace page....type in Charlie Parr to find it.

Good work Charlie on touring Australia in April.

killer song

the version on vodafone is the studio version so its going to be better. You can purchase the song on itunes or just order the album, 1922, from Charlie himself from his website.

This is amazing, good thing he is coming to Belgium soon.

Great stuff!

Want somthin similar to research check out the john butler trio, great down to earth blues from the great land of Ausralia Perth and good to see real instuments are still being played.

lol by the recent comment's look's like the commercial just hit the European market :D Go Charlie!

hahaha well good onya for taking the time to post them.

aint that the way it is.. 💙

chuck is awesome

The name of the album is 1922. Currently have my local jb hifi tryin to order it in along with king earl another of his albums but hes not too optimistic he can get it. You can download it from his website and i tunes apparantley but id rather it on CD.

My man

Greaaaaat post!!!

Word is, Charlie will be 'down under' this coming Spring for a tour, whether Perth is on the schedule or not is unclear.

Crazy good!

Amazing

Cheap Wine give's me Goosebump's, this make's me wanna get up and stomp lol. glad ya found the vid, youll thrash it for at least the next month, i did. haha.

The guitar is a steel bodied and yes it is super sweet!!!

Wow this is pretty cool! :D

Did you hear the guy when charlie says 'that ones called 1922,' the dude shouts 'no its not!'

EPIC!

a treat for grandpa brewer
