This is a collection of Blake Parkers songs. Blake was a spoken word artist, performance poet, writer, lecturer, graphic designer, multi media artist and collaborator, known for his improvisation and evocative voice.As a teenager in the 50s, Blake was strongly influenced by the Beat poets who came before him.His lively, experimental spoken word projects reflect a mature yet quirky genre that is one of the predecessors of todays rap and hip hop.As part of the populist spoken word movement, his work aspires to an integration of high art & low entertainment.Blake worked with many musicians using his words and voice as instrument. At home, Blake played guitar, mostly the blues, constantly making up songs which were rarely part of his performance poetry.There were many variations and improvisations, the music was fluid and only some had more fixed ideas with chords.During the last years with a terminal diagnosis, Blake started to collate the songs, in hopes that other musicians and singers would keep them in the world.Blake Parkers blues, country and gospel songs are a mixture of profound, inspiring, and humorous lyrics ready to be put to music and sung.Check his website www.blakeparker.ca; EPUB; Music, Stage & Screen > Dance & other performing arts, Trafford Publishing<
