Florida native Walter Parks was part of the folk duo The Nudes with cellist Stephanie Winters. He would later serve as sideman guitarist to Woodstock legend Richie Havens, and then form his own trio, Swamp Cabbage. He’s performed with R&B drum legend Bernard Purdie and with Judy Collins. He’s currently based in St. Louis and continues to perform and record both solo and with his Americana spirituals project, The Unlawful Assembly. I’ve never met anyone quite like Walter. He’s a great storyteller and recently, in his guitar workshop, I had the good fortune to hear some of his story.
