You have to admire a songwriter who admits that an Otis Redding song “got him to thinkin’” about where he belongs. Rodney Parker does just that in “Drive Away,” arguably the best cut from his 2004 release “BLOW THE SOOT OUT.” The monster moguls in Nashville continually bark about how ‘diversity’ is a no-no on a break-out release. I tend to agree that all too often songwriters put out a CD with the intent of proving every trick they can perform. Parker, however, has taken it to a new level and set the benchmark for all who come after him.
