Producer: Graham Parker

12th studio album - #131 US

Parker got dumped by his RCA label after this non-performer. The downward slide had begun with the previous release. Capitol picked him up for 1 album after this but
then he was dropped by them. Independents since then and his last one was in 2010. This is his last one that I own. Not a bad album with 2 love tracks and nothing I
don't like. It doesn't show any singles released from this. Not that it would have mattered. Graham was never a singles guy. Nice guest artists on here with John
Sebastian, Garth Hudson and Pete Thomas. Surprised we don't have a UK chart placement on this album. Thought he was more popular there.
