[tidewaterblues]

I want an Ed's (No Name) Bar T-shirt with Charlie on it. ANyone know if Ed's sell T-shirts?

[musicksol]

Thank you Charlie you rock as does ed's

[Profehsah]

@musicksol I need to make it down to Winona to Ed's No Name some time and see Charlie Parr. Just seen him in Winona for the Midwest Music Festival and usually catch him playing at The Sugar Room. This man is great!

[jakey665]

its like the real seasick steve.......not the fake one you see on jonathan ross........

[hotfussed]

Will be seeing CP for the 3rd time tonite in Brisbane. Charlie gave me permission to do this song on Australia's Got Talent and this and his other masterpiece 'Bonneville' took me to the 1/4 finals. Can't wait to thank him in person for his kind permissions. Genuine Genius!!

[Fluppezot]

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

[Audio4You]

@Fluppezot i thought that show was canceled?

[davesteriscool]

Charlie was an absolute standout at Southbound festival in Busselton, WA.

He drew a small crowd but everyone who heard his music loved it. Great performer and an inspiration for a young musician such as myself.

[HighDrummer1]

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!

[jed865]

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

[Jonsogard]

@HighDrummer1

Come to the Brewhouse in Duluth MN, hes there every Wednesday.

[musicksol]

Love Charlie Parr and love Ed's

[xxlilm44007xx]

[leeroy75]

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...

[NorthWriter]

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.

[Chadstravels]

This man has Soul

[seymourting]

[mcarl424242]

[bluey20]

[bris2world]

Saw him last night at the Zoo in Brisbane. Great guy, hangin out with punters before the show... funny to see a gen-Y chick in a bubble skirt posing for a photo with him... Charlie looked kind of amused....

[the134a]

[tidewaterblues]

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

[rugshort]

[punkcat77]

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!

[XDsmilyfaceXD]

[bikehypedotcom]

[sterneis1]

Australian fan here. Charlie's currently on tour in Aus and look forward to seeing him. Really nice guy with a great heart and a great ear for music.

[rami1985]

Do you have a link to a site as to where he is performing ? Would love to see him play.

[jed865]

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

[keesurt]

another new dutch fan, thanks to the t-mobile commercial:P (t-mobile was it?)

[lemmyngs]

Great music indeed! Love it! (vodafone commercial though)

[DjWooziXxX]

whahah inderdaad vet liedje, ik kan alleen de halve tekst niet verstaan alleen dat eerste stukje over ze geld en "the government" :p hahahaha maar wel vet liedje xD

[veerenmeer1993]

nope, vodafone:P

[Gragham77]

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*

[zebirski]

[aussiechrisrob]

[3Residence3]

[bigtoast1337]

[leeroy75]

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.

[Kunibert1000]

@jadetan01

i know it from that ad too, pretty lucky that i came across it at all since I've only been to nz for about a week on vacation and the tv happened to be turned on while i was in the common room of the hostel i stayed at

[Jonsogard]

@jadetan01

Come to Duluth, MN sometime man, every Wednesday night, no cover.

[olaftheodor]

charlie bit me

[recloof]

lol

[sojaboon112]

this song cheers me up :D

[trijntje56]

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!

[leeroy75]

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

[theboyjazz]

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

[thedutch18]

just beautiful music

[trijntje56]

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

[Deen9393]

daar ken ik hem ook van!

[Hrdcrolaf]

haha daar heb ik hem ook ontdekt

[DylTree90]

heb ehm ook door die reclame opgezocht, zijn reclames toch ergens goed voor..

[henkvnh]

wow geweldige muziek!

[thaumazein]

Just saw Charlie at Terra Blues in NYC last night. I felt fortunate, very fortunate, to listen to this guy's music. Beautiful.

[welshslate]

skater sam, you can get Charlie's CDs directly from his website!

[rexde48]

Awesome song.

[skatersam15]

where can i buy his album?

[kalburiumstormbreath]

This feller here knows something we don't

[moniiielovesjuliaa]

lol you cant even understand a thing he sayss.

rofl :)

[0wnyou92]

thats what makes it so freakin awesome!

[Lynden24]

haha, the album is called 1922.

i work in a cd store :P

[Lynden24]

He has an album out called Charlie Parr, 1922.

It has a rooster on the front cover.

pretty good CD :)

[leeroy75]

rofl not sure that's quite true. Youv'e mentioned 2 album's their.

[AsrudGilberto]

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 :)

[watso354]

Does charlies have an album/ CD some1 get back to me.

[SershenBros]

Charlie has music available on iTunes.

[meanmaorimeanpapamoa]

lol,dude looks like jamie hinamine (sp) from mythbusters

[420Ninja]

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

[spin1200s]

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

[leeroy75]

A delphi someone posted. Im wondering is that weathered look age or wether the guitar had a rusty color on the model for nostalgia reason's.

[oOJimmySueOo]

Yeah its a nostalgic look on those national resonators. Not a big fan of fake rust. But he digs it :p

[leeroy75]

Cool, thx for the reply.

[stucko1]

superstar, nice Dobro too

[dmeckle]

charlie your the best!

my band is opening for charlie on the 1st!

[nicka7]

Hi all, There is a VERY VERY VERY rough and quick guide to demonstrate how *I* go about playing Charlies' great tune "1922" on my channel. NB:this is only how I learned to do it so while it may be incomplete it's a pretty good starting point.

I only had a nylon in the house, so I had to use it for this clip. And please just remember to use your ears and judgement and enjoy playing this fun tune!

Cheers,

na

I apologize to Charlie in advance if I made a total meal of it!

[nicka7]

Just wanted to let you know that the TAB for this song is now avialble on the tab sites. So far I've only spotted it in GPRO5 format, but worth the DL.

Cheers,

na

[MajorTom18]

Couldn't give us a link could you? I still can't find any tabs for it.

Cheers.

[rugshort]

@nicka7 Hi, where's the tab for this? Thanks Jason

[buffettlampert]

VODAFONE!!!

[Zoootex]

this song is soooooooooooooooooooo well written/composed.

[FootballFanatic80]

Great song!!

lol dialogue right at the end

charlie - "thats called 1922"

some drunk guy - "no its not"

charlie - "yes it is!"

[Zoootex]

haha simple but amusing :)

[superdonyoungy]

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

[nuclear112]

This is awesome!

[dil2111]

Need. The. Tabs.

[dougie097]

Omg I know!

Can someone find the tabs? I've looked everywhere with no luck!

PLEASE!!!

[nicka7]

Its in open G.

Only rea

[nicka7]

It's in open G.

The chords are further down this thread somewheres.

I do a pretty lame cover of this tune(sydney australia), but Charlie was kind enough to say he liked it and sent me his version of the lyrics on a "MS.doc" file. You can hear my totally lamer attempt on my channel. Email me from there if you want to get a copy of my rough TAB for this tune.

Cheers, n.

ps dont forget to check out his albums they are great

[leeroy75]

At least youre spreadin the blues lovin and gettin his music out there coz i wanna see Charlie do a national tour here with some blues festival or somthin. Neil Young is doin the Big Day Out this year which i cant miss but it doesnt quite fit with charlie i dont think. Id like to see him in a more blues orientated enviroment..

[nicka7]

Mate, "thanks for the kind words" as they say in the good ol'USA!

Charlie told me he's coming to australia in march 09. So fingers crossed lets hope it happens! Im guessing he'l be playing smaller rooms rather than big tent events

Cheers,

nicka7

[nicka7]

Available now online in the usual places.

[cookiemontaz]

Awesome!

[spin1200s]

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.

[buzzbuzzoz]

This sounds heaps like Girl From The North Country by Bob Dylan.

[gsgasz]

bob dylans music is real good too
