Charlie Parr is planning a return to Australia once again in support of his latest album ‘When The Devil Goes Blind’.
Parr is a regular visitor to Australia and his live shows are a spectacular combination of finger pickin' guitar, a stomp box and his trademark husky blues vocals, although his new record is more stripped back than what he has done before."The recording features several new original songs dealing with my usual obsessions: death, poverty, suffering, the apocalypse, Ned Kelly, hopeless aspirations and dreams that are squashed by reality. Stuff like that, and drunken farm animals," Parr said in a statement. "I recorded this one alone; no washboards or harmonicas or anything. I just kind of needed to do one by myself."
