Parr has a new record with only his name on it, and it isn’t shiny and perfect and commercial and catchy. It’s him. It’s pure Charlie Parr and maybe that’s enough.

Take a second wherever you call home right now and listen to his episode — and his new record. You might hear something different every time.
