About Bill Parker

It’s "The Old Story": good-looking, impressionable kid grows up on a diet of polka music and English rock & roll, leaves home after high school, ingests large doses of country music and the blues, then spends the rest of his life trying to make sense of it all. As a follow-up to "31 minutes", this disc contains 13 solid senders, by-products and reminders of a gloriously mis-spent youth. With the exception of "Funky in the Bunkhouse #2", these are guitar/vocal presentations, living-room loose. There's some rock and roll ("Funky...", "Ain't No Substitute"), future country classics ("I May Not Be An Angel", "Livin' Small, Lovin' Large"), romance ("Your Touch"), a soundtrack demo ("Cruisin' for The King") and even some cultural exchange ("Fred Goes To Mexico"). It's all here, folks. A veritable cornucopia of aural delights. "There's a real talent lurking there" -- Jerry Wexler "...sounds like the lovechild of Gram Parsons and Keith Richards" -- Carla Duriyea "Bill's a minimalist kind of guy" -- Fred Keith "You're a soulful songwriter, that's your gift -- Rusty Burns
