I stood in the rain in dublin with my son in his push chair and my wife... I lost my job and me and my family are living out of hotel rooms... my idol charlie parr is playing tonight in dublin it's sold out... I'm there to glimpse him cos I haven't the money to see my idol... sitting at the bar window full of rain droplets is charlie parr... the show is sold out and I walk in and ask if I can meet my idol I'm told yes and over I go... I explain I've come to see him I've only the bus fare in my pocket and I came to try glimpse him... he puts his arm around me and says your with me tonight james you and your family! God bless you charlie may the road always level out to bring you safety where ever you may travel... irish blessings upon you!

Charlie is just about the best thing happening in American music. Feel grateful every time i hear him fire that thing up. Same feeling i get listening to the old masters.

[FrancescoSacchetti]

Very beautiful, I wish there were more of deep, human, hand crafted music out there. This makes me feel happy.

Minnesota;s own. The world-renowned stylist whose heart and soul blend in cherished syncopation and truth. Thanks Charlie ...and the power that be. Glad it all is happening.

Found Charlie by accident looking for a good resonator guitar life is funny what a guy

[accorsistudios]

FYI, I'm standing up giving you a Standing O! The audio first of all is unbelievably well recorded... Rich balance in the stereo - nice work my friends!

[adamtelerman]

[Mattymu]

Charlie I am a huge fan the guitar tone and sound in this recording is other worldly (like the playing) thank you mule and Charlie. Perfect combination

[wgt]

What great playing and singing! Not to forget he's playing a WAY COOL GUITAR!

[Iron-and-strings]

Beautiful looking and sounding guitar!

[Putaspellonyou]

What an amazingly fluid touch...most natural-sounding since Renbourne or Drake. Glad I found this.

[MiniShowProductions]

I have listen to this tune everyday over an over since I first here it I can’t stop

[andrebalian]

Great camera work, the guitar is always in frame! It presumably drives all guitar players insane when the video zooms in on the artists face while you're studying the hand skills. Take notice videographers.

Delia Green (1886 – December 25, 1900) May she rest in peace.

[tommyrubble]

Great music hard to believe he is only 23

[adamandlorraine]

Nice. I don't know these artists at all but it's great music.

[igorsekulic]

Be it in 2 months, be it in 20 years. I will one day own a mule resonator.

What is this picking style called because it sounds amazing?

[emanuelnicolas]

Does someone know the lyrics? Seems to be his own version...

[JohnShepherdMusic]

Do you think Charlie knows he has three more fingers on his right hand? 😜
