Episode 43: My Friend Charlie Parr

Brian Wilson once said that he just wasn't made for these times. Imagine, then, how Charlie Parr feels - he's essentially the greatest 20s bluesman to have been born some 40 years after the fact. He might feel like he's from a different plane of existence entirely, but Parr's dozen-plus albums all immediately feel like home in their own unique way. Before a show at the Brass Monkey in Cronulla, Charlie tells all about life on the southbank and houses filled with music. He also shares what is probably one of the best stories ever told on this podcast toward the end.Charlie's latest album, Stumpjumper, is available.To check it - and all of his other releases - out, visit www.charlieparr.comSupport for All My Friends Are in Bar Bands comes from Sad Grrrls Club, presenting Lionizer's "Be Alone" EP launch tour of NSW.April 15 - Jura Books, SydneyApril 16 - Jane's, WollongongApril 17 - Drone, NewcastleFor more information, visit www.sadgrrrlsclub.comSupport also comes from Spit the Dummy Records.
