9 p.m. Thursday, Mississippi Studios, $12, tickets <\/p>\n
Baby's first tour was a loop around the West last fall, from Portland to Colorado, down through New Mexico and Arizona, and then back. In style, too -- a 1987 Ford motor home. <\/p>\n
\"A working man's tour bus,\" Parson Red Heads singer Evan Way says. \"It was good. It was about 15 days. He's a natural born traveler.\" <\/p>\n
\"He\" is George. George is 4 months old now, and with his dad (Way) and mom (Red Heads drummer Brette Marie Way) and their bandmates getting ready for what looks to be a notably busy 2013, it's a good bet he'll log a few more miles before his first birthday. <\/p>\n
Aside from that West Coast tour, the Parson Red Heads, makers of warm, '70s-inspired folk rock, wrapped 2012 at the White Eagle Saloon on New Year's Eve playing, among other things, Weezer's entire \"Blue\" record. <\/p>\n
To kick off 2013, they're revisiting the past. Tuesday, their 2011 full-length record \"Yearling,\" originally released by Portland-based Arena Rock Recording Company, will be re-released in expanded form by North Carolina-based Second Motion Records. <\/p>\n
What they're calling the deluxe version of \"Yearling\" features six more tracks, bringing the total to 17 and clocking in at more than an hour. <\/p>\n
Way says Arena Rock's original run was 1,500 copies of the album. When the band sold out of those, they went back to the label to see about a second run, but it wasn't something Arena Rock, which is largely dormant these days, could do. <\/p>\n
In March last year, the Red Heads released the six-song EP \"Murmurations\" on Portland's Timber Carnival Records -- the same six songs that have now been tacked on to \"Yearling.\" <\/p>\n
\"They were all recorded at the same time,\" Way says. \"I felt like the songs deserved to live with each other.\" <\/p>\n
