The Bluesy voice of Charlie Parr - live performance (ABC Radio National)

http://www.abc.net.au/rn/breakfast
Our featured album of the week When the Devil Goes Blind, comes from US singer-songwriter Charlie Parr. Tim Ritchie describes his sound as 'authentic blues' - he also sings folk - and works with both a banjo and a guitar... and a wonderful raspy bluesy voice

Well, we received a listener email via our website yesterday from Lyn in WA. She wrote:

"Hi There, Caught Charlie Parr's show last night at the Perth Blues Club. Fantastic. I'm a regular member but was particularly interested as you had highlighted his work this week on RN. Just wanted to say what a great choice. As a member we got to see the show for $15. Unbelievable value for live music of that quality. Keep up the album of the week idea. Cheers, Lyn"

So to give the rest of you a taste of what Lyn enjoyed, Charlie Parr has now joined us in our Sydney studios.

Charlie Parr is currently in the middle of his tour. He's been to Western Australia, Darwin, Adelaide, Victoria and is now in Sydney tonight. Tomorrow is heading to Newcastle, then Maitland.

Also so many folk/ song writers are coming out of Minnesota. Bob Dylan influence I bet. Great culture.
