Graham Parker - Episode 35 - Interview with Graham Parker

This episode features an Interview with Graham Parker, its a career spanning interview that hopefully covers questions that he doesn't often get asked (check out the Clowns one !)

Graham Parker began his recording career in 1976 with Howlin’ Wind, backed by The Rumour, quickly establishing himself as one of the leading figures of the UK pub-rock and early new-wave era. Over the next five years, Graham Parker and The Rumour released a run of albums including Heat Treatment, Stick to Me, The Up Escalator, and Squeezing Out Sparks, all of which charted in the UK, with several reaching the Top 40, while Squeezing Out Sparks became his highest-profile release in the United States and his strongest performer on the Billboard 200. After leaving The Rumour in 1981, Parker continued as a solo artist, releasing a steady stream of albums throughout the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s on both major and independent labels. He reunited with The Rumour for new albums beginning with Three Chords Good in 2012, followed by additional studio and live releases, while also maintaining an active solo career. Through the 2020s, Parker continued to release new material, tour, and collaborate, remaining an active recording and performing artist through 2025, with a catalog spanning nearly five decades.

His Howlin' Wind debut album is subject of a terrific book by Jay Nachman (link attached...https://jaynachman.com/graham-parkers-howlin-wind/)
