Press Reviews What the Press Has to Say About Greg Parker's Three Seats Over and Six Rows Back. "The red cover design reminds me of candy apples, but I was disappointed when I discovered that it does not taste like candy apples. It tastes like paper." -Martha Stewart's Living. "This is a collection of songs that, when taken together, seem to tell the story of a young man swaying between hope and despair, with hope winning out in the end. It is truly a remarkable set of songs and we feel certain, at the very least, that Parker will be one of the forces to contend with in Nashville in the years to come. But the real question on everyone's minds regarding this release is this--can you eat the cover? We found that you can eat the cover, and it tasted quite good, but later on, when you wanted to listen to the CD again, you kind of missed not having it." -No Obsessivecompulsivedisorder. "The songs sound like old standards written from a contemporary point of view. But where Parker really sets himself apart from the pack is with the cover: you can eat it. Everyone seems to have different opinions regarding what it tastes like. My verdict--tropical punch." -Bill Bored. "Never in our years of covering music has there been quite the buzz regarding an album as there has been with Parker's Three Seats Over. The buzz, in fact, has been so incessant that the opinion regarding this release constantly echoes in my mind, and I can no longer think clearly on any other topic without some thought regarding it ringing in my ears like white noise. What particularly plagues me throughout the day is the thought of the cover, and how some listeners have used it to make tropical punch and candy apples. I have tried both and they are quite good, but not nearly as good as the real thing. I believe that if the old ways of making tropical punch and candy apples are lost, we will become further removed from a culture that valued quality over convenience." -Meteor Pulse, Knoxville, TN. "The absence of Birkenstock sandals and long hair in Parker's cover picture relegated this release to the bottom of our pile of CDs to review. But when one of our interns stumbled in one day with this CD in hand and said "Hey man, you can grow weed with the cover!" we were won over immediately. The weed is red and it smells like tropical punch, but we aren't complaining. After we smoked the weed we got hungry and tried to eat the jewel case, and we had to rush our assistant editor to the emergency room due to severe mouth lacerations." -Ithaca Weekly (or Whenever We Feel Like It), Ithaca, NY. "...Never before did scientists believe that such agricultural innovations could be made by self-released CDs. But the Parker disc has caused these scientists to rethink the ways in which crops are grown and the world is being fed. If 100 CD covers planted over 30,000 acres can grow enough corn, potatoes, beans, and wheat to feed several million people, and they are not only of the highest quality but are also non-perishable, then we are not only in the midst of a revelation in terms of growing food, but we now inhabit a world where the inconceivable is suddenly not only conceivable, but entirely possible, and we must ask ourselves things like, "Will I wake up tomorrow and find that my left hand has turned into a space alien?" -Newsweek.
