Release Notes:

Nearly 30 years after his debut LP Howlin' Wind piggybacked 
Van Morrison's white man's soul with Mick Jagger's blue-eyed 
snarl, Graham Parker continues to churn out records from a 
thinking-man's songwriting stoop at the corner of Sarcastic 
and Wry. His unyielding pub rock stature once ran in critical 
circles with the likes of fellow Brits Elvis Costello and Nick 
Lowe, and the fifty-something has aged with the same lyrical 
elegance and literate style, chronicled in the Farfisa-led 
life reflection "Did Everybody Just Get Old" and "There's 
Nothing on the Radio," still another doubting Thomas diatribe 
about the FM dial. Parker's nasally vocal delivery and lip-
smacking pop hooks recall Marah on the album's two catchiest 
efforts: "Dislocated Life," which pokes fun at a day that's 
anything but routine, and "Bad Chardonnay," where he unfurls 
the secrets to a three-decade rock ‘n' roll life. That's 
cigarettes and bad Chardonnay. And a songwriting dexterity 
that, unlike that Chardonnay, gets better with age. r
