Phillip Michael Parsons had an old clock radio next to his bed when he was a kid. And while his ultra-conservative Mennonite upbringing discouraged listening to music with any sort of instruments included, that old clock radio opened up the world of country music to him. “I remember that it only picked up one tiny radio station in my hometown,” Parsons says during a recent interview with Taste of Country. “And the only thing that station played was 90’s country.” Through those little speakers came the crackly sounds of legends including Diamond Rio,Tim McGraw and Brooks & Dunn, and it’s those influences that one can hear loud and clear on Parsons’ new single, “Give It to Me Country.”
