Following years of intensive self-directed musical study and teaching, as well as a move to Athens, GA, Parish set out to continue his work arranging traditional folk music for solo guitar with bursts of improvisation ala his 2016 album "Undertaker, Please Drive Slow" (Tzadik 4016), or 2019's "Way Haul Away: A Collection of Fireside Songs" (Dear Life 005); this time exploring sea shanties as source material. By repurposing nautical worksong melodies and "lover-lost-at-sea" ballads, Parish provides a unique window into their universal evocativeness and ever-fluid evolution. Parish hypothesizes that "These old melodies are timeless due to their physiological power to vibrate the human nervous system in just the right way, they are the code to resonance within the body, and thus a fantastic and magical part of our evolution."
