On his new, self-produced album “Most Of The Time”, Peter Parcek totally proves why he is considered one of the most daring innovators of modern blues. Self-managed and released, the recording strengthens his reputation as an unclassifiable virtuoso, able of blending blues roots with an innovative, experimental vision.

Throughout the CD, Parcek displays his distinctive guitar style, creating an atmosphere that drives listeners along the mystical, the hypnotic and the visceral. A good example of this quality can be found in the opening track, “Twistified”, a powerful blues-groove fusion where he shares electrifying phrases and solos with the great Duke Robillard, paying tribute to Mississippi master Booba Barnes. Furthermore, the album stands out for its accurate track selection, balancing dynamic original compositions with inspired versions of classics popularized by such great names as Bob Dylan and Mose Allison.

The production infuses the whole recording with a dazzling honesty and creative freedom, mixing dark atmosphere passages with rhythms subtly influenced by West African percussion. Backed by a stellar lineup of musicians, including members of bands like GA-20, Roomful of Blues or The North Mississippi Allstars, Parcek gives shape to a robust, mature and, at the same time, deeply nuanced sound.

“Most Of The Time” is not just a tribute to traditional blues masters; it becomes a real evidence of how to expand borders with audacity, elegance and absolute instrumental command.
