if i were a producer, i would have this man on every session in some form or fashion just because he is so musical. guys like this are special and it's pure pleasure listening to him in action. it amazes me he has such versatility. one of my heroes for sure.

I got to see him play live with Naked Lunch, and his interpretations of the Steely Dan canon were mind-blowing. This man is a genius! His playing is a new and fresh take on an established standard, his recorded works only scratch the surface of his capability as a musician..

Parks is flippin amazing!!! I had the opportunity to work with him in the studio on a project by a band Naked Lunch, a Steely Dan tribute band. before he came, he requested that I have a Analog Delay, Compressor, Wah Wah, Overdrive, and Volume Pedal. We ended up using my pedal board, and he fell in love with my delay (Biyang AD-7) and it turned out he uses the same wah as me the Dunlop 95Q, it has automatic switching.
