Charlie Parr with JD Wilkes
CHARLIE PARR
Many people play roots music, but few modern musicians live those roots like Minnesota's Charlie Parr. Recording since the earliest days of the 21st century, Parr's heartfelt and plaintive original folk blues and traditional spirituals don't strive for authenticity: They are authentic.
Parr uses three instruments, not including his own stomping foot. He got an 1890 banjo
the first time he heard Dock Boggs. "I don't do claw hammer, I don't do Scruggs-style,
it's just a version of me trying to play like Dock Boggs, I guess," Parr says.
He has two Nationals, a 12-string and a Resonator, which became an obsession when
Parr saw a picture of Son House playing it.

JD WILKES
Joshua "J. D." Wilkes is an American visual artist, musician, author, amateur filmmaker and self-proclaimed "southern surrealist". Wilkes, a resident of Paducah, Kentucky, is a Kentucky Colonel, an honorable title bestowed by the state's Governor upon those with a connection to, or are famous residents of Kentucky. He is also an accomplished harmonica player, having recorded for such artists as Merle Haggard, John Carter Cash, Mike Patton, and Hank Williams III.
Wilkes is known as the founder and only remaining original member of the Legendary Shack Shakers, a rockabilly/blues band he formed in the mid 90's. Regarding the band's "southern gothic" lyricism, Billboard Magazine said "(Wilkes writes) mind-blowing lyrics rife with Biblical references and ruminations of life, death, sin and redemption.
