Release Notes:
--------
The first thing you notice about Parker Millsap is the immediacy of his
delivery. His fiery take on Americana -- a genre more than happy to wallow in
its time-tested tropes -- somehow manages to come across as fresh without his
having to reinvent the wheel. The bluesy guitar, harmonica, fiddle, and early
rock rhythms offer a familiar enough framework, but the raspy intensity of his
high tenor vocals and the electricity of his craft put him in a league of his
own on his third LP, The Very Last Day. Millsap emerged nationally in 2014 with
a self-titled second LP that earned plenty of critical accolades and netted him
prime support slots with roots rock veterans like Old Crow Medicine Show and
Jason Isbell. Raised a Pentecostal Christian in the small town of Purcell,
Oklahoma, he attacks themes of belief and sin with a wry vigor and will cross
whatever lines he pleases to tell his tales. His anxious energy spills out from
the get-go with the frenzied opener "Hades Pleads," a razor-sharp rocker
confronting the Greek god of the underworld. Quickly switching gears, Millsap
channels a bit of Sam Cooke in the soulful crooning of "Pining," then pares down
further on the powerful "Heaven Sent," which takes the form of a conversation
between a gay son coming out to his preacher father. Recalling the Louvin
Brothers, another American act who famously melded religion with nuclear
apocalypse on their 1952 single "The Great Atomic Power," Millsap's gospel-blues
title track takes a more cathartic approach as he bellows "Ain't no reason being
so afraid/Yeah you can try to hide but it's gonna get you anyway!" The
confidence in his approach is infectious, and in spite of his occasionally
weighty subjects, The Very Last Day is an entirely energizing listen.
