On his followup '5am', Parsons finds a way to take his music to the next level. With the wailing vocals of Soni Moreno drifting just beneath Parsons' acoustic power chords, the song is a fitting introduction to the new direction he has taken. Though his voice has been compared to Live's Ed Kowalczyk, I believe it is more flexible and certainly more expressive. '5am' is another standout collection of 11 tracks from an artist whose recognition is, in this reviewers opinion, inevitable. Parsons doesn't only write catchy meaningful songs that really stick, but on top of that he is blessed with an extremely powerful and pleasant voice. Real emotions packed in small film-noire scripts of 4 minutes.
Parsons chooses the company of a rock band for the musical frame.
Sister Moon does not get surpassed. His ten track release of original songs scores high on production, excellent songwriting and convincing vocals. Upbeat in the progressive sense, Parsons has a wonderful grasp of melody and great vocal charisma. This is a percussive-happy, groove laden effort. If I Only Had Enough Faith' features gospel type backing vocals and a tasty gut string guitar solo.
