About this product

In 1979, Graham Parker was at the peak of his powers-a top selling album with Squeezing Out Sparks, and several tours into his association with the Rumour, one of the best live bands of the 70s. This show from Denver hits all the great moments from the aforementioned album, as well as tunes from previous albums, and each and every one of them sounds better in this iteration than they did in the studio. Bob Andrews's keyboards lend piano flourishes to songs, Brinsley Schwarz is at his best on lead guitar, Bodnar and Goulding keep things pinned down nicely, and Martin Belmont's second guitar provides the perfect backing for Brinsley to do his thing.And then there's Parker himself. His songs, always urgent, gain even more immediacy in this setting... every song seems to be a matter of life and death to Parker. From sharp to soft to full throated, you'll never hear Parker sing better than this.This album is electric in all the right ways. You hear every word, every syllable of GP's

2010 album from the veteran British singer/songwriter. Inspired by the grossly lame themes used for sitcoms and television dramas, Imaginary Television is Graham Parker thinking outside of Inchthe box,Inch or maybe inside it. Parker created his own TV treatments, wrote the tunes to go along with them, and rocking ensued.

Released in 1993, 'Maximum Respect' is a vibrant compilation that showcases the versatility of Gregory Isaacs during the digital dancehall era. Featuring tracks like 'Promise to Be True, Murder in the Dance Hall,' and 'Brother Don't Give Up,' this album moves fluidly between tender love ballads and hard-hitting reality tunes. Backed by the top-tier Firehouse Crew and rhythm maestros Steely & Clevie, the production-helmed by pioneering sound system operator Count Shelley-offers a mix of tight electronically enhanced rhythms and deep basslines that elevate Isaacs's legendary voice. The album also includes dancehall-centric gems like 'In the Heart of the City' and 'Me Nah Leggo,' showing Gregory at ease in both romantic and roots-conscious territory.

For nearly 30 years, Parker has coupled punk's energy with his love of American R&B, country and soul that has rightly earned him a spot in rock's pantheon of original and influential figures. YOUR COUNTRY i's a warm and emlodic genre-bending masterpiece. His songs go from Motown to Nashville to blistering rock to the keening lonesomeness of of a weary troubadour.
