“I’m perfectly lonely…”
Parker McCollum released his cover of John Mayer’s “Perfectly Lonely,” and I think this kind of song actually lends really well to Parker’s vocal range and pitch.
Previously just put out as an Amazon exclusive, Parker is a massive John Mayer fan, so of course, he jumped at the opportunity to cover one of his songs:
“Everyone knows Mayer is top two all-time for me. So, when I got the opportunity to cover one of his songs, I had to do it.
I just hope that if he ever hears it, he won’t hate it.”
It’s fun to hear an artist like Parker take a stab at a song outside of the country genre, too, and I hope he covers many more of John’s songs in the future. I mean, I feel like he could crush “Slow Dancing in a Burning Room” or “Gravity”.
“Perfectly Lonely” was a solo write by John, and the fourth single from his 2009 album, Battle Studies.
You can listen to Parker’s rendition below.
