I sent thiis hero an email when I was like 16 just saying I liked this video and he emailed back being really nice . I’ll never forget that now I’m toe tapping away with my new born son at 30. Short period in the grand scheme but it’s nice that these things stick with you. What a song.
I just saw him play this song live in Kansas City. It was an 8 hr drive from Texas, but worth every mile. I’m glad to see 350K views, because it shows that Mr. Parr is making an impact on people around the world.
I would honestly travel to America just to go to Ed's in hope of seeing this guy...Amazing work it gives me real goosebumps! Wishing success from Scotland!
If admittedly this is the only thing in your life you do with "any confidence", you're probably selling yourself short in many other areas of your life. In a world where music that is objectively good is very limited, this is a breath of fresh air. I love this song, Charlie. Don't stop doing what you do.
Charlie is in most eyes undiscovered. But hes done some national and international(Europe) tours and blown countless minds along the way. This is a small pub in the middle of Minnesota so not southern, and not hick (no offense meant) Its one of the hippest and coolest bars around, but it is small (we like to call it intimate). Charlie has a big fondness with Winona so he is kind enough to grace us with his presence quite often. And since this is where i live, this is where i taped him.
Yup :) Just bought it meself and the more I listen to it the more I like it. The first time I ever heard this song was in a commercial for "Vodafone" where this bloke wraps up his whole apartment, cd collection, wardrobe,wardrobe,girlfriend,books and puts them all in his pocket while this song is playing in the background then it forwards to a picture of the phone meaning you can carry your whole world in your "Vodafone" very clever I thought :)
Saw him Sat night supporting Paul Kelly in Geelong - had the audience in the palm of his hand! Was wearing the same outfit, too! ;) Such a good guy, talked to him out in the foyer, and my sister got her copy of his album signed. He gained lots of new fans!
Another Dutchie here wondering why he didn't find this sooner... better than not at all though. *grin* Beautiful guitarplay -beautiful guitar, for that matter, great voice, great atmoshpere... Just... great. Tapping the foot on the floor gave this live version that little unexplainable extra... or that's just how Charlie Parr is. *hits 'replay' for the umpteenth time*
Two weeks and counting until this marvelous performer appears here in my hometown. I could listen to these Tidewater licks all day - a very special musician.
Yes I downloaded it via itunes - nice to have it on the iPOD. And it appears to be the Vodafone ad version. I've got this (clip) version on my myspace mp3 player....all good stuff hey? The power of the internet!
Just wanna say on this blog a big thanks to springfed for having such quality videos of charlie parr whom obviously has been gracing ed's bar with his talent well before our exposure to him through a phone ad. I would really love to see him come to perth australia to share the blues lov'in.
I just checked out his gig line up and to my jaw droppin disbelief he's playin at the charles hotel blue's club here in perth OMG. Hell n highwater couldnt stop me. Cya there :D Ferk Yeah...
Charlie is a good showman as well as a top rate musician. All the yahoos in the background should be listening to this man as he plays like they will never hear again. Too bad for them. He plays on.....professional.
I saw this wonderful man play pickathon sunday evening on the starlight stage. I didn't see many performances during the weekend but I watched every moment of this one
Well i may have to fly to another state, just to listen to mr charlie parr the great but im used to missing out on the best and havin to listen to all the rest but aint that the way it is.
If he ain't been to the Crossroads - he sure don't need to go. As a blues player he the real deal - echoes of the guys who put it all together - the stuff the Rolling Stones listened to half a century ago.
Yeah, the commercial started here in Holland a few weeks ago. I even ordered one of his cd's and got a very nice mail from charlie''s wife. And Charlie has myspace!
The name of the album is 1922. Currently have my local jb hifi tryin to order it in along with king earl another of his albums but hes not too optimistic he can get it. You can download it from his website and i tunes apparantley but id rather it on CD.
the version on vodafone is the studio version so its going to be better. You can purchase the song on itunes or just order the album, 1922, from Charlie himself from his website.
Its definitely charlie on the ad, its from his album, buy it and you'll know. the album was from a few years ago. plus the beard and voice (mind you its january in minnesota) makes him look older than he actually is. and jbt is great, but this is americana roots blues, a whole another thing. if your looking for more contemporary artists along these lines check out william elliot whitmore from iowa. another beautiful weathered voice.
Watched all of the clips from that performance and i have to say hes shit hot. Youre privileged to have seen that live in that intimate bar lol the sound would have been unreal in such a small stage.
At least youre spreadin the blues lovin and gettin his music out there coz i wanna see Charlie do a national tour here with some blues festival or somthin. Neil Young is doin the Big Day Out this year which i cant miss but it doesnt quite fit with charlie i dont think. Id like to see him in a more blues orientated enviroment..
Want somthin similar to research check out the john butler trio, great down to earth blues from the great land of Ausralia Perth and good to see real instuments are still being played.
Cheap Wine give's me Goosebump's, this make's me wanna get up and stomp lol. glad ya found the vid, youll thrash it for at least the next month, i did. haha.

Greetings from 2019! The world is still here and Charlie Parr is still making art.
I sent thiis hero an email when I was like 16 just saying I liked this video and he emailed back being really nice . I’ll never forget that now I’m toe tapping away with my new born son at 30.

Wishing success from Scotland!
He is currently on a European tour. Playing in Glasgow on the 10th of May.
If admittedly this is the only thing in your life you do with "any confidence", you're probably selling yourself short in many other areas of your life.
In a world where music that is objectively good is very limited, this is a breath of fresh air. I love this song, Charlie. Don't stop doing what you do.
Thanks Smith!

I'm a new fan!! Out of this world!
Just received my order of cd's in the mail today. Took around 18 days but time well waited lifes good :)
Yup :) Just bought it meself and the more I listen to it the more I like it.
The first time I ever heard this song was in a commercial for "Vodafone" where this bloke wraps up his whole apartment, cd collection,
wardrobe,wardrobe,girlfriend,books and puts them all in his pocket while this song is playing in the background then it forwards to a picture of the phone meaning you can carry your whole world in your "Vodafone" very clever I thought :)
I saw Charlie Parr open for B.B. King at the State Theatre...so so good.
Saw him Sat night supporting Paul Kelly in Geelong - had the audience in the palm of his hand!
Was wearing the same outfit, too! ;) Such a good guy, talked to him out in the foyer, and my sister got her copy of his album signed. He gained lots of new fans!

Could not agree more, love that commercial just coz off this song. Took me a while to find it, but soooo happy i did :D.
Yes I downloaded it via itunes - nice to have it on the iPOD.
And it appears to be the Vodafone ad version.
I've got this (clip) version on my myspace mp3 player....all good stuff hey?
The power of the internet!
It's awesome. We in Holland discovered him by a new Vodafone commercial. I'm listening to all of his music now at youtube!
Love this dude and his music. I have to thank some phone company using his sound in an ad some time ago.
@HighDrummer1 He makes it over to the UK a couple times every year. Keep an eye on his touring schedule.
I hear of this guy due to a mobile phone ad!
Beautiful simple, no frills music. Go Charlie!!
Found this song ages ago, first time seen live. Bloody brilliant. on my playlist always!
Absolutely brilliant!
Just wanna say on this blog a big thanks to springfed for having such quality videos of charlie parr whom obviously has been gracing ed's bar with his talent well before our exposure to him through a phone ad. I would really love to see him come to perth australia to share the blues lov'in.
Absolutely love this performance and song! Incredible!!!!
this guy rocks. Why do I live in the city when all the good music is out in the stix. Thanks for the tune.
Come to Perth Charlie when ya tour here in Australia. So many eastern states gig's and we miss out guddammit...
I just checked out his gig line up and to my jaw droppin disbelief he's playin at the charles hotel blue's club here in perth OMG. Hell n highwater couldnt stop me. Cya there :D Ferk Yeah...
Very nice. He's got such an authenticity to his music. Great song.
me too - hubby and i saw him last night before paul kelly - he was fantastic!
Seen Charlie at Ed's Tonight....another great show....Rock on Charlie!!!
Heck yes. Not sure how I stumbled here, but ain’t that the way it is.
Charlie is a good showman as well as a top rate musician. All the yahoos in the background should be listening to this man as he plays like they will never hear again. Too bad for them. He plays on.....professional.
I saw this wonderful man play pickathon sunday evening on the starlight stage. I didn't see many performances during the weekend but I watched every moment of this one
Just saw Charlie perform tonight in Brisbane Australia. EXCELLENT!
i met him once after a gig and he signed my guitar. He is a very nice man.
i curse the fact that in live in Minnesota many times but i do have the great Charlie Parr in my neck of the woods
Well i may have to fly to another state, just to listen to mr charlie parr the great but im used to missing out on the best and havin to listen to all the rest but aint that the way it is.
Any this was my first parr show!
Thank you Charlie you rock as does ed's
such a great song.
i wish more people new about this guy
hes so great.
All these posts are old, I love Charlie right now, the great Charlie Parr
lol, I commented on this vid seven years ago but I still watch it.
I will do the same
this video is amazing...fantastic version of a fantastic song
What a lovely song, I'm buying this album.
This guy is freakin' ridiculous. I hope he is back in Buffalo soon. A truly mesmerizing talent.
If he ain't been to the Crossroads - he sure don't need to go. As a blues player he the real deal - echoes of the guys who put it all together - the stuff the Rolling Stones listened to half a century ago.
Yeah, the commercial started here in Holland a few weeks ago. I even ordered one of his cd's and got a very nice mail from charlie''s wife. And Charlie has myspace!

the version on vodafone is the studio version so its going to be better. You can purchase the song on itunes or just order the album, 1922, from Charlie himself from his website.
and now its on spotify. how times have changed.
This man is brilliant! I love every single one of his songs.
He kinda reminds me of a swedish troubadour called Cornelis Vreeswijk.
i'm from duluth and its one of my biggest regrets having never seen charlie play live. he's the real deal.
hahaha well good onya for taking the time to post them.
I love you Charlie. I love you Ed's.
This dude is a certified badass! I'm proud that he is a fellow Minnesotan.
Clever! Very clever blues - Wish there was a video of 'Bonneville' as well!
Its definitely charlie on the ad, its from his album, buy it and you'll know. the album was from a few years ago. plus the beard and voice (mind you its january in minnesota) makes him look older than he actually is. and jbt is great, but this is americana roots blues, a whole another thing. if your looking for more contemporary artists along these lines check out william elliot whitmore from iowa. another beautiful weathered voice.
Awesome song.
wow geweldige muziek!
this song is soooooooooooooooooooo well written/composed.
Watched all of the clips from that performance and i have to say hes shit hot. Youre privileged to have seen that live in that intimate bar lol the sound would have been unreal in such a small stage.
thankyou
Great song!!
lol dialogue right at the end
charlie - "thats called 1922"
some drunk guy - "no its not"
charlie - "yes it is!"
His schedule is listed on his myspace page....type in Charlie Parr to find it.
Just saw this great musician last night In Pine Lodge in Mytrlevile Co Cork.
like to shake this mans hand
It's amazing that a song can sound so happy while having lyrics that are so depressing (if you're the guy in the song, anyway). That's a rare gift.
Just saw him with Trampled By Turtles @ the Cabooze in Minneapolis. He was amazing.
Cool, thx for the reply.
The Charlie Parr fix dammn yeah
Can't beat this!
Word is, Charlie will be 'down under' this coming Spring for a tour, whether Perth is on the schedule or not is unclear.
Charlie has music available on iTunes.
very good artist and guitare player !!=)
AWESOME!
amazing
Did you hear the guy when charlie says 'that ones called 1922,' the dude shouts 'no its not!'
i finally found out what this song was! thankyou vodafone for introducing me to a hidden gem i'd have never heard of
you rock my soul Charlie
I love it, would have been a good night to get on the piss and listen to the goods.
that is the way it is, he said it just right.
"That's called 1922."
"NOOOOO it's not..."
haha awesome
This is amazing, good thing he is coming to Belgium soon.
It's a National Style O. Beautiful ring on them.
Great stuff!
Good work Charlie on touring Australia in April.
thats what i was looking for, cant find it ;(
Love Charlie Parr and love Ed's
True champ!
Greaaaaat post!!!
chuck is awesome
A delphi someone posted. Im wondering is that weathered look age or wether the guitar had a rusty color on the model for nostalgia reason's.
At least youre spreadin the blues lovin and gettin his music out there coz i wanna see Charlie do a national tour here with some blues festival or somthin. Neil Young is doin the Big Day Out this year which i cant miss but it doesnt quite fit with charlie i dont think. Id like to see him in a more blues orientated enviroment..
@HighDrummer1
Come to the Brewhouse in Duluth MN, hes there every Wednesday.
I like this song i discovered it on the vodaphone ad. But is the actuall song called 1922?
The guitar is a steel bodied and yes it is super sweet!!!
This man has Soul
lol by the recent comment's look's like the commercial just hit the European market :D Go Charlie!
Want somthin similar to research check out the john butler trio, great down to earth blues from the great land of Ausralia Perth and good to see real instuments are still being played.
Cheap Wine give's me Goosebump's, this make's me wanna get up and stomp lol. glad ya found the vid, youll thrash it for at least the next month, i did. haha.
awesome song!
does anyone know if theres a tab out there for it?
Amazing
