Once I Rose Above The Noise & Confusion

Shout out to Lawrence, Kansas. I was scanning the web to see if anyone or any entity could lay claim to some Anders Parker live material when I came across a TV show called "Turnpike." It seems the last time Parker toured through Lawrence, "Turkpike" shot a feature on him, containing an interview and also filmed Parker performing a few songs from the new album, Tell It To The Dust, which is still in mega-heavy rotation on my IPod. Anyway, I highly recommend the stuff - some really great clips here, as Parker re-works a few songs in the solo/acoustic and solo/piano vein. I kind of wish at least one of the songs showcased Parker's rock leanings, too, but you can't have it all.
