Jeff Parker: “Four Folks”
Written By Michael Gutierrez

Multi-instrumentalist and member of Tortoise Jeff Parker finds himself behind the big belly of an acoustic guitar on his latest solo LP. The songs are impressionistic, spare, modern, and contemplative. Parker rarely gives you a hook to hang your hat on, but you’ll never find yourself wanting for sweet repose on the 8-track album. Shades of Spanish guitar meets folk jazz meets a scratched CD.
