Backslider by Charlie Parr

We recorded this over 3 nights at the Brewhouse's midweek bracer during an unusually warm week in July. But we made the best of it, drank some beer, ate some chicken, stayed out of trouble. These tunes are some that I'd written awhile back, but they've always come out better live. So I hope you like 'em, thanks for being at the shows, everybody. - CP, 2006

Reviews
"Depending on a listener's mood, the usual aspects of a live recording--different, more raw, arrangements and phrasings from familiar studio versions--could be distracting. But the disc is so substantial, so packed with authenticity, honesty, and visceral passion, that it seems like it should weigh more than it does." - mnartists.org
