Rob Roy Parnell Says Let’s Start Something New CD Due June 17 on Blue Rocket Records
DRIPPING SPRINGS, TX – Blue Rocket Records announces a June 17 release date for Texas singer/harmonica player Rob Roy Parnell’s new CD, Let’s Start Something, distributed nationally by Burnside Distribution.
Long acknowledged as one of America’s premier harmonica players, Rob Roy Parnell’s new CD, Let’s Start Something, plays like the soundtrack for a Saturday night at a Texas roadhouse. A powerful mix of rockin’ blues, boogie woogie, R&B and soul, the new CD was produced by Rob Roy Parnell and John Kunz.
In addition to Rob Roy’s powerhouse blues harp and soulful vocals, the album features a veritable “who’s who” of all-star players, such as current Delbert McClinton band members Kevin McKendree (keyboards), Lynn Williams (drums) and Don Wise (sax), plus former members Lewis Stephens (keyboards), James Pennebaker (guitar) and Dave Millsap (guitar). Other standout musicians on Let’s Start Something include Rob Roy’s brother, Lee Roy Parnell on guitar, as well as guitarists Stephen Bruton and Hector Watt, bassists Sarah Brown and Steve Mackey and singers Jay Boy Adams and Jonell Mosser.
“The musicians who played on Let’s Start Something are some of the best friends I’ve had the pleasure to work with over my musical career, and making this CD with them was truly a blast,” says Rob Roy about the new CD.
Parnell had a hand in writing 10 of the album’s 12 tracks, co-writing songs with Stephen Bruton, Sarah Brown, Dave Millsap, Mike Cross and Will Indian. He also puts his personal stamp on two cover songs: Percy Mayfield’s “Loose Lips” and Roy Brown’s “Lollipop Mama.”
Parnell’s last album was the critically-acclaimed Jacksboro Highway, released over eight years ago.
