Charlie Parr - Full Performance (Live on KEXP) 

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.

Guy is a treasure - a true original, great picker and song writer.

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.

Discovered him thru a good friend of mine few days back....yes ive been living under a rock

ah the smell of dark roasted coffee, cowboy breakfast and the sound of charlie parr in the morning. lovely

Let me just say, the sound quality of these KEXP recordings is second to none. My word. A tip of my cap. Charlie Parr is a treasure. Cheap Wine is haunting, beautiful and terrifying.

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.

I keep coming back to this. I've never heard any better.

Still stands as the best traditional American musician.

I can smell this songs throughout the fucking screen damn

Is anyone else just cracking up during "On Stealing a Sailboat"?

Trampled by 🐢.. Charlie Parr.. and The lowest pair.. all in a one small bar in Bloomington, IN. Perhaps best concert I ever experienced

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 ebb and flow into Charlie every few years. I'm delighted every time and always blown away by what a talent he is. I'm an age of overproduced music it's a breath of fresh air. He's an American treasure.

cheap wine, holy smokes. really great, thanks charlie and kexp

I wanna have a cup of coffee and hang out with Charlie Parr.

New Charlie Parr? Heck yes. 2020 doesn't seem so bad anymore. Charlie is such a good story teller. A true Minnesota legend right up there with Bob Dylan and Prince, even if not as famous.

Minnesota Legend Charlie Parr

Met Charlie once In two harbors, and I'm on the Stoney River loving the north minnesota woods, good family good times. Listening to that Real music 🎵✌️💚🎶😈

That fingerpicking is next level. It almost sounds like two guitars.

Charlie Parr is a lovely human being and songwriter!

His voice is quite pleasant

Saw Charlie in Austin MN a few weeks ago. My absolute favorite concert I’ve EVER been to!

fantastic

One of the best story tellers around!!

I love Charlie’s playing, his personality and his stories. His songs can be haunting or really funny but always have tons of feeling. I hope to see him play live some day. Regards from across the pond.

My favorite solo musician. Thx Charlie

Charlie Parr is so special... I feel very very very lucky to be hearing and enjoying his music.

love it! that Guild is one hell of a sweet janglemachine!

Can't wait! Saw him open for Mandolin Orange last year and he killed it.

Awesome version of Over the Red Cedar!

first time i've had the pleasure of hearing Charlie Parr, thank you

I love this man's music so much.

A legend. So lucky to see him perform at The Tractor here is Seattle. Don’t miss him when he comes to your town.

When I was a teenager in the late 1970's and early 1980's, I wished for a Guild or a Martin 12-string guitar.

Parr is a true storyteller with MAGIC in his picking hand. Vocals are pure, guitar clean & powerful. 🤘❤️🤘

Never figured a song about car wheels could make me cry

Never heard of him. Excited to check him out

This is the first time I have heard of Charlie Parr, certainly enjoyed this set and his stories. "Over the Red Cedar" pretty damn fine to my ears

Fabulous! An American musical treasure! Thanks Charlie!

great to watch especialy in times like this

God bless Charlie Parr! What a wonderful performer!

just incredible. i'll be listening to the rest of his catalogue. thanks KEXP and Charlie.

Had the joy of seeing him live last October in Boston. One of the most talented musicians i have ever encountered!

Thanks, Charlie! XO

This guy! Pulls on heart strings every time. Love it!!

On Stealing A Sailboat so fun love it

Local #1 or not, spotify told me you are my #1 listened to artists in 2019. So there are no conditions on that one.

That was incredible. So well done. Thank you KEXP. "Well Charlie, you can still play." Indeed.

Just listened to first song.....Loved it!!! A great song doesn't need to be anything more than this. Thanks again KEXP. These vids always sound and appear fantastic

Thanks for sharing this. Cool guy. Amazing musician

Charlie has such a beautiful heart. I think we all can learn something from him. Keep it up Charlie!!

Charlie Parr. One of the reasons I’m glad to call Duluth home.

Fantastic guitar player, great voice. Very fine discovery in these dark days. The best from France.

Great sound mix and vid. Awesome tone as always Charlie. Great to hear your words and notes, my perspective improves every time I hear you 🤗🙏

Simply incredible. Charlie and KEXP are both American treasures to behold. Thank you for this wonderful performance. Exceptional playing and performance. Highest respects to Charlie and KEXP!

Charlie Parr is already an American Treasure. Love his guitar work & songs too. Gracias amigo!

Awesome!! God Bless You!!

A true original.

Very good music and performance :) !

Fantastisch, wat een gitaar speler, echt genieten.

I'm late to the party, but happy to be here. This happens a lot. I'm I the only one?

This guy is great. Why wasn't I informed.

Incredible performance. Flawless.

Goddamn great.

He's really a great punch in the feelies.

I love you man

I like this minimalistic flow. I am not a musician. great voice great performance. fascinated to this silver looking guitar. great after accident you can play again.

My most epic Charlie Parr experience was mixing him at a show in Duluth MN. Hey Charlie what would you like in your monitor? Charlie replies nothing man I dont want to hear myself. No monitor here either lol

Just found this man a few days ago, wow, so blown away by his 12 string playing, and the lyrics, so good. Chord progression anyone, please?

Damn Charlie is my new favorite, just discovered him recently doing the First Ave Sunday night online concerts with Liz Draper. Hey so does anyone know the model of this Guild 12 String Charlie is using in this vid ? Thanks in advance & Peace !

Good. Honest. True.

Thanks Nick Swann for steering me to Charlie !

fuck i love charlie parr

@KEXP Get Chris Acker and the Growing Boys on!!

Fucking awesome!

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

Jesus I got that guitar!! Can't play it like that....but I got one 🤘

Charlie can ya play “Stumpjumper”?!

1st song sounds like story of my life

KEXP, can i work for you guys?

Would love to see Charlie and fellow MN singer songwriter Frankie Lee do something together. Get Bob involved too for a full MN musician trio.

Hooked.

I thought it was the actor John Hurt. It's like the country mirror of him
