2023-04-12

Nashville, TN (April 12, 2023) – 615 Hideaway Records is proud to announce the first single release from Jeff Parker & Company “You Don’t Need To Be Improved” debuts at #1 on the Bluegrass Today’s Weekly Airplay Chart. Jeff Parker & Company are right on time with their new band, new music, and the results are amazing with the success of their debut single on the 615 Hideaway Records.


On TV, magazines, and social media platforms we’re constantly hearing—especially women—how to make ourselves better. The hidden message is you’re not good enough the way you are. Written by Mike Norris, “You Don’t Need to Be Improved” says that when you really love someone, you love them just as they are—right here, right now. Don’t worry about trying to look younger, being in perfect shape, or becoming the “ideal person” you are striving to be. The person you really are not only good enough, but great!


“I chose this song because I like what it’s saying and I also felt that we could do some good harmonies, I like the cord progression, and the way I felt to structure the song, lends to show off some hot picking! Also, to allow me to sing a lower register on verses then switch to tenor on the chorus.”


– Jeff Parker
