Graham Parker - Intelligent Music Beyond The Norm

Review Score: (8/10)
Look, I've got to stick up for Graham and this album. First and foremost if you don't like intelligent song writing AND well crafted pop, you aren't going to like Graham Parker. Fine by me (and him) because Parker suffers no fools. This particular album is probably his most mature outing yet, one filled with beautiful songs that actually do something most songs don't these days: impress you with the authors life and experience. From the extremely haunting opening tune "Partners for Life", one of my favorite love/marriage songs to the bitter observations of "Disney's America" you will not find a better 'full immersion' listening experience than this. I must warn however that this is Parker at his mellowest, far beyond anything he did with the Rumour. Personally, I love this album!
