Parsons & Thibaud - Hello!

Just few words to complete my previous post. As I told you, Joseph Parsons gave a very impressive set enough for me to watch the audience’s expressions changing during his supporting set to Jeffrey Foucault. Joseph’s amazing voice and disarming ease ensure rapt attention from all and get a direct validation song after song. The result is that Joseph didn’t bring enough CDs to sell after the show; the demand was far more than he expected.

Set list (Joseph Parsons - La Pomme d’Eve, Paris – February 21st, 2008): I Saw You / Skipping Stone / Shades Of Gray / Tell Me Hello / Heavens Above / Dume Room / Tupelo Honey (cover of Van Morrison) // Sun Gonna Shine

Skipping Stone and Tell Me Hello come from Joseph Parsons’s latest released, an album that he co-signed with his old chap Todd Thibaud, it is simply called Parsons & Thibaud (January, 2008), just like Crosby & Nash, Simon & Garfunkel… The album is poetic with songs defining happiness and loneliness with gentle folk and infectious sing-a-longs. Let’s hope that Joseph Parsons will develop this approach further on his next record.
