De Graham Parker, 1950 zu London gebuer, ass Mëtt de Siwwenzeger zesumme mat Leit wéi Elvis Costello, Joe Jackson, Nick Lowe oder Dr. Feelgood op Tour gaangen. Déi éischt Placke mat senger Band The Rumour kruten exzellent Kriticken - mee d'Venten hunn ufanks den Achtzeger nogelooss, an et gouf méi roueg ëm de Museker.
Der Wäert ze lauschteren an ze liese sinn dem Graham Parker seng bësseg, kritesch an heiansdo verbattert Texter, an deenen hie gesellschaftlech Mëssstänn ("Saturday Nite is Dead"), d'Kierch ("Hey Lord Don't Ask me Questions") oder de Schoulsystem doheem an England (Back to Schooldays) op de Leescht hëlt.
"New York Shuffle" ass eng méi rockeg Nummer aus dem erfollegräichen 1977er Album "Stick To Me", grad wéi "I'm Gonna Tear your Playhouse Down". Dëst Stéck huet hien 2017 nach emol mat der brittescher Soul/Jazz-Formatioun Stone Foundation nei agespillt. Och de Paul Weller war hei mat engagéiert.
