“Cantankerous Tree”, is a 4 chords and the truth song of reckoning … a coming to terms with fierce acceptance. This seasoned songwriter plays this gritty ballad on a dreadnaught that was found in a dumpster In Osaka, Japan. It was recorded on one take with one microphone between the guitar and vocals. As Parks puts it, “it’s what I wanted to say.”
