Over the past six years, Parker Millsap has emerged as a young Americana/roots talent with a solid collection of songs that combine brooding folk with gospel-infused country and bluesy rock. On Millsap‘s fourth album, Other Arrangements, the Oklahoma singer-songwriter engages the listener with a set of gritty high-energy rock n’ roll that oscillates between feelings of restlessness and longing for purpose and optimism in dark times. Standout tracks include: the cocksure opener “Fine Line”; the slow-burning “Your Water”; the bluesy scorcher “Tell Me”; the title-track; the delicate fingerpicked ballad “Good Night”; and the bittersweet ballad and album closer “Come Back When You Can’t Stay.” What makes Other Arrangements so satisfying is Millsap’s lyrical and melodic versatility in a sound that draws from a blend Southern music for a sound that continues to be fresh and alive. – Written by JFelton
