Title: Easily The Best Album of 2005
Review: Another solid album from Graham Parker, yet this time with revived energy in Rock N Roll mode, with The Figgs for backup. Every single tune is great, except for one clunker ("There's Nothing On The Radio"). But the quality of the work is so high that one can forgive a momentary lapse. My favorites keep changing, but "Local Boys", "She Swallows It" and "Go Little Jimmy" kick some ass and should really get some airplay somewhere. If you want to go for GP's best album since, well, last year's "YOUR COUNTRY", what's holding you up? Old fans will appreciate the "return to form" but fans who have kept listening know he never really left. In sum, this is probably his most accessible-to-a-broader-audience album since "MONA LISA'S SISTER".
Is the review positive or negative?
