What you say No-one has reviewed Worried Blues/ Write Me A few Lines by Charlie Parr yet. Give us your opinion on Worried Blues/ Write Me A few Lines by Charlie Parr. What we say This record left our BRIAN D feeling happy. Duluth, Minnesota is the home of Charlie Parr, an authentic porch bluesman who's twice struck my heartstrings in the Packhorse pub in Leeds when our Clinton put him on like a proud son making a heartwarming gesture of solidarity. Two of the best nights out i've ever had too. If you've been blessed with his few albums then you'll understand what a rare talent the man is and 'Worried Blues' is a fine place to start, one of his classic, stomping bluegrass infected tunes that gets right into your spirit. His first vinyl appearance to my knowledge (Correct me if wrong) 'Write Me A Few Lines' on the flip is a cover of a Mississippi Fred McDowell tune, all captivating steel guitar fretwonderment and barroom joy. A right energetic & vital piece of music, Ltd 7" on End of the Road, 500 for the world! What the label says: It must be a crazy world when “authenticis a term used to separate an artist from the pack. Charlie Parr is a folk and country blues musician who is routinely labeled “authenticand “the real dealby fans and critics alike. Charlie shows up with a lived-in rasp of a voice, National resonator and 12-string acoustic guitars, a banjo and a batch of his own songs and well-traveled numbers by Mississippi John Hurt, Charley Patton and other cohorts from another time. He lays it on you, and you sense that the gamblers, the union workers, the criminals and the sinners that wander around his songs are peering right over your shoulder. Anyways on that note End of the Road Records will be releasing his first ever Vinyl pressing which will be the instantly likeable Worried Blues as the A side and the B side a Misspipi Fred McDowell cover. The pressing will be limited to 500 only. Highly recommended

About the humble 7":

The humble 7" is the smallest of the vinyl formats (not including the ridiculous 5") and it's the perfect medium for transporting a couple of new songs by up and coming bands straight into your ears. They're fun and they take up less space in your house than something bigger would. They come in a plethora of exciting colours and fantastical packages, and you can fit about 14 minutes onto one 7". You may have to get up every few minutes to put a new record on but think of the exercise. Don't forget every record you buy plays at least 2 speeds (depending on your stereo) and you need to play all records on all speeds to get the maximum joy from your purchase.
