“One of the things that immediately strikes you about Parker’s debut is his vocals, which are a blend of Glen Frey and James Taylor with his own northwest inflections. This folksy tone carries through the rest of his songs, shining most clearly and plaintively on “The Mountain” and “Gone.” Parker’s guitar skills – both acoustic and electric – also make Homegrown a must-listen. Whether he’s strumming a back porch ballad or firing off greasy licks and solos, his attention to phrasing and tone are top-notch. Even for non-guitar players, the overall sound and feeling of Parker’s guitar-playing sticks out above the majority of what’s (currently) out there. Parker has years of experience under his belt, and he knows when (and what) to play, and more importantly when (and what) NOT to play.” -Will Hodge – My So-Called Soundtrack, Rolling Stone
