Or how to help. They are sick with the longing to make everything better. And they can’t. Tiny things are important. This house could be anywhere. These things could happen to anyone.” With this reflection, Charlie Parr introduces the characters of Rooming House, a conceptual folk opera that chronicles the lives of Upper Midwesterners through his quietly raucous, deeply rooted, and empathetic blues. These are songs of lost memories and hardship, but also of the improvised acts of kindness that help neighbors make do. Joined by celebrated drummer and fellow Minnesotan Dave King (The Bad Plus, Happy Apple), Parr cements his role as one of the great troubadours of our time with an album that becomes its own small yet profound offering of care.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date: \u003c\/strong\u003eOctober 16, 2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecord Label: \u003c\/strong\u003eSmithsonian Folkways\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat + Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compact Disc\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eDuluth 1964\u003cbr\u003eRooming House \u003cbr\u003eMother Sara \u003cbr\u003e(what’s so funny about) Universal Healthcare\u003cbr\u003eBank Robber\u003cbr\u003eDuluth 2026\u003cbr\u003eLilliput Park 2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-de40c0dc-7fff-e38f-72ca-abc8aca95dbf\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCover Art Designed By: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eDanny Duffy\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-de40c0dc-7fff-e38f-72ca-abc8aca95dbf\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note: product images are digital mockups.
