spitball Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Hey gang, The latest in my long list of great artists I ignored back in their heyday is....Graham Parker. Just saw him do a solo show in Jersey in February and got to do a quick buy-and-greet at the table afterwards. Excellent singer and songwriter. I should have been going to see him AND Rush way back in the day. Anyone else here keen on Graham? sb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I liked him back in the 80's, quite a bit. How's his voice held up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitball Posted April 6, 2011 Author Share Posted April 6, 2011 QUOTE (Mara @ Apr 5 2011, 01:10 PM) I liked him back in the 80's, quite a bit. How's his voice held up? He still sounds very good, though I can hear the age in his voice. I suppose he could probably still pull off his old tunes at least adequately, if not close to spot-on. If you sample his most recent release "Imaginary Television" you'll get the idea of the tone of his voice now. He did a couple 70's tunes the night I saw him, but I am such a new fan to Graham, that I probably had never heard them before. The only song I remember knowing back in the day was, of course, Local Girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
