If a voice was a knife, then Parker Millsap’s vocal could cut out my heart with one swift, clean swipe. “The Very Last Day” is the songwriter’s latest and has a raw, impassioned and animalistic blend of blues, rock and folk music that delivers time after time.

The 11 tracks are defined by power and maintaining a sense of equilibrium with pensive and imaginative songwriting and the occasional swoon worthy croon as Millsap’s voice ebbs and flows with the narrative of the record. At times danceable and with extreme movement and other times tender and poignant. It has it all.
