“I like to plug straight into the amp,” says Parlor Greens guitarist Jimmy James. “When I first started playing, I didn’t have effects, so I got used to hearing my guitar right into the amp. It makes my ears feel happy. It’s like I can make the music flow from my soul into my fingers.”
James’ clean, unadulterated tones, along with his astute, deceptively simple playing style – economical, soulful lead lines and tight, drop-dead funk rhythms – are indispensable elements of Parlor Greens.
