DownBeat2015 JulyByByFrank-John Hadley2015 July"There's a connecting line, secure like a Gordian knot, extending either side of country blues and old-timey folk music forward to the freshly realized music of Charlie Parr, a fine guitarist and a singer of rare distinction".
Living blues2015 JuneByByMelanie Young2015 June"Charlie Parr's masterful distillation of traditional music styles is both timeless and contemporary ... Parr's songwriting and scorched-earth tenor hearken to an earlier time, and his vocal harmonies with wife Emily Parr owe as much to the back porch as to the front pew ... Exquisite, and with a compelling veracity that many of his contemporaries lack, Charlie Parr's 'Stumpjumper' is worthy of wide notice".
