Graham Parker & Some of The Rumour - Howlin' Wind

[brinsleysgirl1980]

Graham Parker and the Rumour=The Perfect Storm

[apostolicgroove]

I am 47 and, back in the day, Elvis Costello, Joe Jackson and Mr. Parker were major influences. I still perform You Can't Be Too Strong from Squeezing Out Sparks in my acoustic shows.

Underrated musician

I turned someone on to this CD just today. One of my students who is maybe 21. He'd heard of Elvis Costello but not of GP... I think he's in for a treat.

Hard to believe this is 25 years old, maybe a little more...

bruce even recognizes this mans music, book him on all shows in all venues hes the best

[JohnEpi1973]

It doesn't matter if you fill up all the venues but the difference you make to the life of those that were actually there to watch you perform. GP 4 eva !!!

[tbzeee]

i've played mr. parker's music for lots of folks over the years, and most become obsessed w/the man, like "where's this guy BEEN all my life?" he inspires adoration, much like when people "get" springsteen for the 1st time. parker's music & attitude & honesty just hit you on a direct, gut level; let's hope he gets some recognition before he's gone.

"The waterfalls trinkling like bells to my ear, the earth rolls out before me through smiles and tears, a country lost, a soul discovered, the ruin that i once was will soon recover. And i know a howlin' wind runs through here, takes my breath away. Swing time's here children, for large and small, let's dance before the fever is upon us all, yeah, it's a strange religion, without any god, the preacher walks with innocent spares the rod. (2 time CHORUS) GP 4ever.. Awesome..

one of my favourites GP song. Still remember his gig in rome, 1982. The venue was quite empty, but none of the people there will forget that show.
