Father/Son Duo “The Parks” Release Debut Album

By Stephen Gibbons • June 10, 2009

The Parks, the first father/son duo in modern country music history, will be releasing their Carolwood Records debut album, Born Into It, to all online music stores on Tuesday, June 30. Clint and Johnny Park wrote or co-wrote all the songs on the record including the first single, “As Long As You’re Goin’ My Way.”

Born Into It represents a multi-generational collaboration, balancing a wealth of bedrock sounds from country music’s Outlaw past that connects the current generation with its predecessor. Clint Park and his father and musical partner Johnny Park not only co-wrote but also produced all twelve tracks on their debut album, Born Into It. Recorded at Nashville’s Quad Recording Studios, The Parks had their live stage band, who they’ve been working with for seven years at a regular gig at Cowboy’s in Gallatin, Tennessee, play on the record.
