“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.
