I don't have many skills, and i don't know much. But I have watched every single music performance on youtube, and I can with full confidence say that this is the best one.
Charlie Parr is a (too) rare combination of extraordinary talent and deep, genuine humility. Cheap Wine alone is enough to assure his status as a legendary storyteller.
Throughout my life there have been 4 artists that have altered my mind through their music. Gun's n Roses (school years), Stevie Ray Vaughan, John Moreland and most recently Charlie Parr. I've been a life long musician and now well in to my 40's listening to Charlie seems like an all too rare musical treasure for me.
Let me just say, the sound quality of these KEXP recordings is second to none. My word. A tip of my cap. Charlie Parr is a treasure. Cheap Wine is haunting, beautiful and terrifying.
I ebb and flow into Charlie every few years. I'm delighted every time and always blown away by what a talent he is. I'm an age of overproduced music it's a breath of fresh air. He's an American treasure.
New Charlie Parr? Heck yes. 2020 doesn't seem so bad anymore. Charlie is such a good story teller. A true Minnesota legend right up there with Bob Dylan and Prince, even if not as famous.
When I was a teenager I stumbled across Charlie performing on KEXP. I forgot to save the video, so I lost his name. I spent months trawling through the channel before I could find him again. It remains one of my favourite videos on this channel from a beloved performer. Thank you KEXP.
I love Charlie’s playing, his personality and his stories. His songs can be haunting or really funny but always have tons of feeling. I hope to see him play live some day. Regards from across the pond.
Met Charlie once In two harbors, and I'm on the Stoney River loving the north minnesota woods, good family good times. Listening to that Real music 🎵✌️💚🎶😈
We saw him play in Bozeman a couple years ago. Fantastic. We caught him after the show to say thanks and he was indeed a warm and lovely human being. I appreciate him.
I live in Wisconsin and have the joy of going through Duluth every year en route to Canada. As a kid I was fascinated by the industrial sights (the freighters, the grain silos, etc). As a teenager, I began to appreciate the incredible beauty of the hills and bluffs. As an adult, I began to dig into the history (Bob Dylan, the railroad, etc). It wasn't until I attended a wedding there that I got to spend three full days in the town. Incredible experience.
Fellow northerner from Wisconsin who's been lucky enough to experience him in person. Truly mesmerizing 🙌 Another Duluth great who no longer is together... "Tin Can gin" checkout - Mighty Fitz 👌
Simply incredible. Charlie and KEXP are both American treasures to behold. Thank you for this wonderful performance. Exceptional playing and performance. Highest respects to Charlie and KEXP!
Just listened to first song.....Loved it!!! A great song doesn't need to be anything more than this. Thanks again KEXP. These vids always sound and appear fantastic
I like this minimalistic flow. I am not a musician. great voice great performance. fascinated to this silver looking guitar. great after accident you can play again.
My most epic Charlie Parr experience was mixing him at a show in Duluth MN. Hey Charlie what would you like in your monitor? Charlie replies nothing man I dont want to hear myself. No monitor here either lol
Damn Charlie is my new favorite, just discovered him recently doing the First Ave Sunday night online concerts with Liz Draper. Hey so does anyone know the model of this Guild 12 String Charlie is using in this vid ? Thanks in advance & Peace !

But does he use Linux?
@@karlio3368 yes. slackware.
Charlie is the goat
What are your thoughts on spark master tape ?
Guy is a treasure - a true original, great picker and song writer.
Absolutely

Still stands as the best traditional American musician.

I keep coming back to this. I've never heard any better.
Discovered him thru a good friend of mine few days back....yes ive been living under a rock
ah the smell of dark roasted coffee, cowboy breakfast and the sound of charlie parr in the morning. lovely

You read my mind
Charlie is famous in the right circles.. those who know, know 🙌🤘❤️🤘

Minnesota Legend Charlie Parr
Yo Adam! It's me, Dirk! hahahaha!
@@bearingtondudesly9168 Hey! Where you at these days?
Y’all know Minnesota Molly, card player?🤷🏻♂️

Saw Charlie in Austin MN a few weeks ago. My absolute favorite concert I’ve EVER been to!
He puts on a GREAT show! even solo like this - an amazement of musical movement and words.
Charlie Parr is a lovely human being and songwriter!
We saw him play in Bozeman a couple years ago. Fantastic. We caught him after the show to say thanks and he was indeed a warm and lovely human being. I appreciate him.
Parr is a true storyteller with MAGIC in his picking hand.
Vocals are pure, guitar clean & powerful. 🤘❤️🤘
Trampled by 🐢.. Charlie Parr.. and The lowest pair.. all in a one small bar in Bloomington, IN. Perhaps best concert I ever experienced
Charlie Parr is so special... I feel very very very lucky to be hearing and enjoying his music.
Can't wait! Saw him open for Mandolin Orange last year and he killed it.
Gonna be a while but yeah, look forward to seeing him
love it! that Guild is one hell of a sweet janglemachine!
bluelectrified Right !? Can’t beat a Guild!
Sounds like a sweet dream!
This is the first time I have heard of Charlie Parr, certainly enjoyed this set and his stories. "Over the Red Cedar" pretty damn fine to my ears
I love this man's music so much.
My favorite solo musician. Thx Charlie
first time i've had the pleasure of hearing Charlie Parr, thank you
That fingerpicking is next level. It almost sounds like two guitars.
It's awesome, I agree! He plays a 12 string guitars, that's probably why it sounds like two guitars :)
Check out Leo Kottke's 12-string work too if you don't know his stuff.
One of the best story tellers around!!
A legend. So lucky to see him perform at The Tractor here is Seattle. Don’t miss him when he comes to your town.
Never heard of him. Excited to check him out
Charlie is a Minnesota treasure
Awesome version of Over the Red Cedar!
I wanna have a cup of coffee and hang out with Charlie Parr.
Fabulous! An American musical treasure! Thanks Charlie!
God bless Charlie Parr! What a wonderful performer!
just incredible. i'll be listening to the rest of his catalogue. thanks KEXP and Charlie.

Charlie has such a beautiful heart. I think we all can learn something from him. Keep it up Charlie!!
His voice is quite pleasant
Fantastic guitar player, great voice. Very fine discovery in these dark days. The best from France.
I can smell this songs throughout the fucking screen damn
Charlie Parr. One of the reasons I’m glad to call Duluth home.

Local #1 or not, spotify told me you are my #1 listened to artists in 2019. So there are no conditions on that one.
Bravo. Straight up, no BS Americana served up the way it should be. Love ya, Charlie.
#legit
great to watch especialy in times like this
When I was a teenager in the late 1970's and early 1980's, I wished for a Guild or a Martin 12-string guitar.
Thanks for sharing this. Cool guy. Amazing musician
Had the joy of seeing him live last October in Boston. One of the most talented musicians i have ever encountered!
On Stealing A Sailboat so fun love it
I'm so glad I clicked on this man
The grace that is necessary to respond to asinine questions like he did... I'll get there.
magic charlie...!
Incredible performance. Flawless.
Awesome!! God Bless You!!
this version of over the red cedar is better than the album version love it
enthralling from the first second he played!
Is anyone else just cracking up during "On Stealing a Sailboat"?
Great!
Never figured a song about car wheels could make me cry
Amazing ❤
Wow !
A true original.
Goddamn great.
Well shoot, this is fantastic
It is fantastic mate ! Congrat !
Fantastisch, wat een gitaar speler, echt genieten.
What a voice! Damn!
I'm late to the party, but happy to be here. This happens a lot. I'm I the only one?
I like this minimalistic flow. I am not a musician. great voice great performance. fascinated to this silver looking guitar. great after accident you can play again.
Just found this man a few days ago, wow, so blown away by his 12 string playing, and the lyrics, so good. Chord progression anyone, please?

CHARLIE[Ledbetter]PARR
Would love to see Charlie and fellow MN singer songwriter Frankie Lee do something together. Get Bob involved too for a full MN musician trio.
Mason Dixon how about a Dave Simonett Charlie Parr collaboration.
Is the interviewer trying to be robotic? 😅
Love the show guys 👌 Charlie’s awesome 😊
KEXP, can i work for you guys?
I thought it was the actor John Hurt. It's like the country mirror of him
1st song sounds like story of my life
Gosh, how I love you, Charlie!!!
