Parish Bar is the sixth studio album by American singer/songwriter Jeb Loy Nichols, released in 2009 on the Tuition record label in the UK and the Compass record label in the US.
Allmusic said "Parish Bar may be the album that puts Nichols over, and it deserves to.
He's slowly but surely gone about his business, and his sense of craft, honesty, and curiosity makes for music that is rich, sophisticated, and resonant with all the qualities of the human spirit.
"[2] NPR's Fresh Air said "this new collection, which Nichols says he recorded over the past couple years — mostly at home in his spare time between other projects — is his most inviting album yet.
said "Nichols delivers his tales in a Boz Scaggs-meets-J.J. Cale tone that’s slyly jazzy and sincerely country, a kicked-back style that complements the languid grooves he creates for his music.
