Editor's review
With a resume that includes stints with Roy Head and Mickey Gilley, among others--not to mention the Houston Oilers--Ronnie Parker sure has a colorful background. All that experience plays into his music, too, which hinges on his rich, warm voice and swings like the best classic country.
