Yorkshire is a big place. Large industrial cities punctuated by a patchwork of endless countryside that stretches into Northumberland and Cumbria. From this comes Horton Parks, guitar in hand. The son of a preacher from rural North Yorkshire. His childhood was spent drifting from place to place in the wake of his father's calling. Horton's acoustic lo-fi folky blues have been compared to various artists—from Fred Neil, Tim Hardin, Johnny Cash, early Tom Waits, Captain Beefheart, The Band and Leonard Cohen.
