Inside MusiCast rings in the new year with our first guest for 2023, guitarist Dean Parks!  Dean is no stranger to liner notes geeks around the world and was home grown in the state of Texas. In fact, he was a member of the “One O’clock Lab Band'' at North Texas State while in college. Whatever it is that’s in the water at North Texas, he drank it – along with other top musicians who have come out of that amazing music program - like David Hungate, several Snarky Puppy band members, Norah Jones, Jeff Coffin, Don Henley, Lyle Mays, and others. Fast forward to today and we find Dean still engaged with contributing his talents to new projects from Lyle Lovett, LeAnn Rimes, Herbie Hancock, Diane Warren, and so many others. This only confirms that after decades of playing LA sessions, Parks still remains an A-list guitarist.  His iconic work for Steely Dan, Al Jarreau, America, Streisand and so many other great projects speaks for itself. Today we’ll help fill in some of the gaps of his amazing career. Inside MusiCast is glad to welcome Dean Parks.
