Graham Parker and the Rumour: Heat Treatment

After a two week absence, it's time for another Saturday musical selection.

While I was driving across the desert, the mountains, and the plains earlier this month, Graham Parker's Heat Treatment CD was often playing.

A difficult artist to classify, Parker combines blues, rock, soul, and reggae into his repertoire. Different terrain, different music, one artist. Bits of country enhance Parker's later work--but passion is the consistent theme of his long career.



The video of Parker and his then-backup band The Rumour performing title track is from 1977.
