For nearly 30 years, Parker has coupled punk"s energy with his love of American R&B, country, and soul that has rightly earned him a spot in rock"s pantheon of original and influential figures. He"s got a snotty barroom brawler"s rasp and sneer, a soul man"s swagger, and an ear for indelible hooks and pop songcraft. "Your Country" is a warm and melodic genre-bending masterpiece. His songs go from Motown to Nashville to blistering rock to the keening lonesomeness of a weary troubadour.
