Who Is Robert Allen Parker?

Blues / Rock / Soul / Funk

From Memphis, TN, the musical mecca of the universe, Robert Allen Parker was simply born to play guitar. He got around to it at age 10 under the guidance of Scott Dodge (blues guitarist for Blind Mississippi Morris). Influenced at an early age by electric delta blues and the golden age of classic rock, 1965-1975, Parker began playing in bands around Memphis and developed his guitar skills in genres as diverse as funk, reggae, blues, and soul. Around this same time, he sharpened his skills as a songwriter.

Standing next to the greatest drummer in the histo

Standing next to the greatest drummer in the history of Soul music : HOWARD GRIMES. We are holding cd’s of “The Memphis Sound,” a 20 song compilation I recently produced featuring Howard on several tracks. If there is anyone who encompasses the Memphis Sound, it is truly Howard Grimes. I am the lucky one who got to play guitar with him on these songs! He is also featured on the new album by Don Bryant (“You Make Me Feel”). What a wonderful Soul he is. It was a pleasure to hear him tell stories about the early days of Stax, Hi, & Beale Street. His drum sound has graced thousands of records. Odds are he is playing drums on multiple records in anyone’s vinyl collection. He has a story to tell & the world is ready to hear it. Right now “The Memphis Sound” cd is exclusively available at Memphis Music Store (149 Beale). God bless Howard Grimes & the grooves he continues to give us. #memphismusic #hirecords #staxrecords #bealestreet #hirhythmsection #howardgrimes #albumsstillmatter
