Christopher Parris brings an exceptionally unique style of musical expression to the alt-country and alt-folk genres. His collaboration with other artists is equally noteworthy; the single features the melodic backing vocals of singer-songwriter Jennifer Lee Ridley and impressive electric and slide guitar sections by Paul Rippengal. The intricate percussion from Robin O’Keeffe and Ben Killick, combined with bass by Michael Hurst and arrangement by Lewie Roberts, adds a rich tapestry of sound that complements Parris’ acoustic guitar.
