You could say that singer-songwriter Parker McCollum was raised in Texas. Or raised on ranching. Or raised on ’80s country music. But no matter what lens you’re looking through, there’s no denying that McCollum was raised right.
As McCollum sat down with C&I for some coffee and conversation, he was chivalrous, polite, and disarmingly genuine. And it wasn’t an act. It’s how he wants to be remembered. “I want people to think of me as someone with impeccable manners. Someone who’s extremely hardworking and a great addition to country music,” McCollum says. “I care so much about country music, and doing it the right way and the hard way … so that people know I earned everything I had.”
Growing up on Eddie Rabbitt, Ronnie Milsap, the Judds, Keith George Strait, but the sonic quality,” he explains.
