John Parr - Letter To America [2CD] (2011)

Posted By: BlondStyle

Date: 24 Aug 2020 18:29:22

A 2-disc collection which includes one disc of old and new hits with full band, as well as one disc of acoustic tracks. The first disc showcases fan favourites including 'St. Elmo's Fire (Man In Motion)' and the unforgettable hit 'Naughty Naughty'. The second features acoustic arrangements such as 'The Minute I Saw You', 'The Best' and a new acoustic version of Katy Perry's hit 'Firework'.

“A Letter to America” (double live CD) is one of the best albums I have heard in 20 years or more... it is “Americana” like Mellencamp, Springsteen, Byran Adams, or John Fogherty, but is uniquely the voice and mind of John Parr. Offering the greatest hits and the new works that inspire hope for a better future beyond our own personal struggles in small-town America. The arrangements range from intimate and extremely personal ballads and rockers delivered solo by Parr and his guitar, to full-blown band arrangements with choral backing vocals. The lyrics are on the level of Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan, with vocal inflections that are reminiscent of Steve Marriott, Don Henley, Lou Graham, Bryan Adams, The Boss, and more, with facile and clever guitar arrangements, and a band that is on the order of the greats, like Toto. And more impressively, this work was recorded live in concert, all of the greatest hits, and the new diamonds, in one live concert. I get the message in Letter to America, loud and clear. I indeed have hope for a better future beyond this small town.
