Long Lonesome Highway LP
Parks released several albums during his TCB period, significantly "LONG LONESOME HIGHWAY"and 'CLOSING the GAP". Both were produced by the legendary James Hendricks (no it wasn't Jimi Hendrix), who continues to produce top shelf music today(See the link below to go to his website. It includes a downloadable version of LONG LONESOME HIGHWAY sung by JH hisself!). The albums are remarkably listenable even today. They include proformances by session musicians that were members of ELVIS's Memphis Mafia. The songs are an eclectic mix of folk, country, and standards. Parks continued with music for some time releasing "Coolin' Soup" in the 1990s, a hip jazz oriented collection. LPs are $20 each. Other formats available on request.
The rider in this poster isn't actually Parks but rather Bud Ekins who was the stunt rider/driver for Parks and Steve McQueen among others. In an interview with Texas Clint in the '90s Ekins had this to say about Parks: "Man, he comes around here every once in a while...but when the beer runs out, so does Mike!!" (Thanks again to Texas Clint for the insider info.)
