    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.

    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 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.

    Charlie's America
    Were a whole life
    Can be lived in a song
    Stone beauty trickling
    Out
    but Firm and stout
    Sporting
    A breathless doubt
    Of a new world order
    That just gets us poorer
    And poorer
    A last lament
    Of what was so much better
    Delivered unfettered
    Now a slave of what should never be
    Taking all giving and nothing back
    So we do what we do
    We get high and watch
    Give up
    Just have fun
    While waiting for it all to end
    We ll send it off
    With the pops of a million rifles
    And pistols
    books of sigils
    And
    One last
    Incantation for it all to end
    To start again
    But don t hold your breath friends
    Just keep doing what keeps you right
    What you decide
    P$
    Everytime i hear this song
    (Mag wheels)
    I see that scene in my minds eye
    Just two guys sitting beside
    Each other at a bar
    Swapping the stories of
    Their Sweet yesterdays
    And the bird of youth
    That has long flown away
    Wondering where did it all go
    Somehow Knowing that
    Speaking it
    Keeps it true
    And alive
    Thanks so much CHARLIE AND KEXP
    from
    THE GHOST ON THE SHORE
