GRAHAM PARKER (London, England)
GRAHAM PARKER should need no introduction. Thankfully, on the lead track to his most recent album (and his Big Stir Records debut) LAST CHANCE TO LEARN THE TWIST, he provides one for himself.
“They tried to eliminate it – good luck with that! – they pushed it underground but it just grew back,” Parker sings with inimitably soulful grit, “It just grew stronger with every iteration... the music of the Devil was our salvation.” He's singing, of course, of the artform of which he's an widely recognized as a master: rock and roll. But it serves equally well as a summation of his career: for over 40 years, Graham Parker has been slinging his signature sound, earning a spot in the pantheon of influential rock and roll creators. Always a critic's darling, uniquely and equally beloved by anglophiles and connoisseurs of Americana alike, Parker remains a true original. His new work stands with his best, which is no small achievement from an artist whose body of work includes the undisputed classic Squeezing Out Sparks and his essential run of early albums backed by The Rumour.
Parker burst onto the British music scene in the mid '70s at a pivotal moment in its history. The prior wave of bands had become bogged down in various forms of excess, and punk rock had yet to emerge with its unrefined rage. As a young songwriter, Parker had something different from either extreme in mind, and in early 1975, having no idea how to break into the music business, he put an ad in Melody Maker looking for musicians to support him on the tunes he was developing. This led to a connection with Dave Robinson, a man with some experience in managing bands, who was suitably impressed and brought some musicians into his demo studio in islington London to back him on a few songs.
Before the nascent group had played so much as a note together, Parker had, with Robinson's aid, secured a major record deal with Phonogram Records. Rehearsals continued with the band that would become The Rumour: Parker had seen the name Brinsley Schwarz in the Melody Maker gig guide and imagined that with a name like that, they must surely be a German heavy metal band. During those first rehearsals, Robinson brought a “tall, bird-nosed fellow,” as Parker described him, to the sessions and said that he would produce their first LP. His name was Nick Lowe, the bass player in the aforementioned “German heavy metal band.” Two other members of Brinsley Schwarz, eponymous guitarist Brinsley Schwarz and keyboardist Bob Andrews, would become core members of The Rumour. That first Lowe-produced LP, Howlin’ Wind, was recorded in London in late 1975 and released in April 1976 to widespread critical acclaim.
Things moved quickly after that. The debut was followed in the same year by Heat Treatment and a hit EP, The Pink Parker, released on pink vinyl. By the dawn of the punk era, Parker was roundly celebrated for coupling literate intelligence and a deep understanding of rock's roots with the roaring energy of the new sound, and The Rumour had evolved into a legendarily explosive and empathetic vehicle for Graham's sophisticated, emotive material. Working with legendary producer Jack Nitzsche, Parker cemented his reputation with Squeezing Out Sparks, which has remained enshrined in lists of the all-time greatest albums of the rock era ever since. But for all the accolades, Graham Parker was still just getting started.
Throughout the following decade, Parker would garner critical and chart success in the US and UK with solo albums including 1980's Jimmy Iovine-produced The Up Escalator, 1982's Another Grey Area, and 1988's widely-praised The Mona Lisa's Sister, on which he was backed by veterans of The Rumour and Elvis Costello's Attractions alike. Graham's '80s records stood apart from the increasingly slick and synthetic output of his British New Wave contemporaries, imbued with his deeply rooted love of American R&B, country, and soul music and trademark wit. By the '90s, Parker could be counted as a rare Brit among the upper echelons of singer-songwriters revitalizing the Americana idiom: think Tom Waits, John Hiatt, and Springsteen (who'd guested on The Up Escalator). It's a natural evolution and a manifestation of Rolling Stone's assessment: “One of the sharpest songsmiths of the U.K. rock scene in the late Seventies, Graham Parker always owed more to Dylan and Van Morrison than to his punk counterparts.”
In the 21st century, Parker has turned polymath. Long admired for his lyrical sophistication, the songwriter has made the leap to literature with the short story collection Carp Fishing On Valium and the novel The Other Life of Brian (recently republished under its original title The Tylacine's Lair). Likewise unsurprising given the man's onstage charm and facility with character sketches, he's shown up onscreen as an actor, often in collaboration with writer/director/producer Judd Apatow. Far from distracting from Parker's musical work, these multidisciplinary excursions have, if anything, reignited his drive as a songwriter and performer. His turn as himself in Apatow's 2012 film This Is Forty dovetailed with the miracle reformation of The Rumour, which yielded two albums – Three Chords Good and Mystery Glue – hailed by critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine as "the rare reunion that simultaneously looks back while living in the present."
The reformed band would again dissipate, but Parker's ambitions and creative drive remained undimmed. Against the backdrop of recorded and onstage celebrations of the 40th Anniversary of Squeezing Out Sparks, Graham has been crafting new material and pursuing a new direction. It was first heard on his 2018 debut for the UK's 100% Records, Cloud Symbols, introducing the new backing band The Goldtops and highlighted by the return of the Rumour Brass. The new renaissance gained even more momentum as Big Stir Records welcomed Parker to our roster with the acclaimed album Last Chance To Learn The Twist. On the other side of an uncharacteristic break from the road in deference to the global pandemic, Graham Parker delivered an eclectic, reflective stew of soul, rock and blues fusions bursting with tasty, rootsy grooves and shot through with (as one song title has it) “Wicked Wit” in his classic style.
The year 2026 is an auspicious one for the veteran rocker: it marks the 50th Anniversary of his classic debut album HOWLIN' WIND (as well as its beloved followup HEAT TREATMENT) and that milestone, along with the freshness of his latest work, defines his trajectory as he once again hits the road for solo dates in the US and UK. The making of HOWLIN' WIND is the subject of an engrossing and in-depth new book by rock writer Jay Nachman, and a new vinyl-only album from BSR commemorates his 2023 full band tour in support of LAST CHANCE TO LEARN THE TWIST. New versions of two classics from the debut are among the tracks on offer, and the record will be offered in a bundle with Nachman's book here at Big Stir Records. It's a suitable celebration for banner year, but there's no doubt more to come from one of rock and roll's most original voices.

Fifty years into his recording career, UK rock legend GRAHAM PARKER is still going strong, out on the road in the US and at home in 2026 and writing tunes of wit and wisdom that stand with his best. As part of our celebration of this milestone year, BIG STIR RECORDS brings you another live single, a scorching version of his mid-career gem “Black Lincoln Continental” recorded onstage with Parker backed by his current band THE GOLDTOPS, as a preview of a new limited-edition Vinyl LP and Streaming album drawn from his 2023 full band UK tour, soon to be announced. The single is out May 22 on all digital platforms worldwide and up for preorder and pre-save now:

GRAHAM PARKER remains a singular force on the rock and roll landscape. From his beloved 1976 debut album HOWLIN' WIND (the subject of a new, acclaimed book by rock writer Jay Nachman in collaboration with the singer) to 2023's acclaimed LAST CHANCE TO LEARN THE TWIST, he's rarely looked back or been far from the road. This year marks the 50th Anniversary of that debut (as well as, incredibly, his second LP HEAT TREATMENT), and while Parker pushes ever forward, the occasion warrants celebration. That will come in the form of the soon-to-be-announced album QUALITY FOOTWEAR: LIVE AT THE BROOK, from which the performance on this single is drawn. It features Parker's sly, soulful voice at its very best, backed by THE GOLDTOPS (longtime guitar-slinging sideman Martin Belmont, keyboardist Geraint Watkins, bassist Simon Edwards and drummer Jim Russell) and the backing vocals of The Lady Bugs (Paige Stubley and Martha Evans) recorded live at The Brook in Southampton, England, and mixed by Graham's current producer Tuck Nelson.
Originally featured on Parker's 1985 album STEADY NERVES, a record that's perhaps often overshadowed by the success of its followup THE MONA LISA'S SISTER, “Black Lincoln Continental” is a taut rocker and a longtime live favorite in both solo renditions and blazing full-band readings like this one. With much of the 2026 media focus on the beginning and the latest offerings in the GP catalog, the single reminds fans of the remarkable consistency of top-tier songwriting across the man's entire career. Of picking the track for standalone release, Parker says: “Out of the tunes recorded at that Southampton show, I’ve long had 'Black Lincoln' in my mind as a more surprise attack, being a bit less known. But bloody hell, that track is old school barrelhouse rocker intense and might just grab some old fans who love that aspect of me, but missed the song entirely when it originally came out. Plus, Nick Lowe once covered it on an album, just a few years after my version came out!”
It's a prime example of the acerbic wit that's characterized Parker's writing from the beginning and which still runs through his current work, and THE GOLDTOPS give this vehicle all the drive it demands. Stand by for more news on the new record, and catch GRAHAM PARKER on tour now and through the end of the year on his most expansive solo tour in years. To hear him now, live onstage or as captured on this single and the new album, it's clear that that there's much more in store.
Expected release: May 22, 2026

GRAHAM PARKER needs no introduction, but with 2026 marking the 50th Anniversary of his classic debut album HOWLIN' WIND, the time has come to appreciate his amazing career once again. That album, first issued in 1976 (as was, amazingly, its acclaimed followup HEAT TREATMENT), was the beginning of a series of critically-hailed releases, with and without his backing band The Rumour (featuring Schwarz and current Goldtop Martin Belmont), including SQUEEZING OUT SPARKS (1979) and THE MONA LISA'S SISTER (1988) and extending to his latest studio album and Big Stir Records debut, 2023's LAST CHANCE TO LEARN THE TWIST. It was on the full-band UK tour for that most recent album, amongst reviews citing it as one of Parker's sharpest sets of songs in this century, that this version of “Soul Shoes” from HOWLIN' WIND was captured. We present it here as proof positive that Graham Parker hasn't lost a step in his half century onstage, and, naturally, as a sign of things to come as 2026 unfolds.
It's a bracing and energetic reading of a catalog cornerstone, with Parker's soulful vocals right out front and the guitars of Schwarz and Belmont pushing the band (keyboardist Geraint Watkins, bassist Simon Edwards and drummer Jim Russell) over the top, while the backing vocals of The Lady Bugs (Paige Stubley and Martha Evans) add a rootsy grit. Recorded live at The Brook in Southampton, England, and mixed by Graham's current producer Tuck Nelson, the track is a wonderful throwback to the singer's earliest days, picked from a setlist that draws in equal measure from those first records and the fresh tunes from LAST CHANCE TO LEARN THE TWIST, which was recorded with largely the same version of the Goldtops heard onstage here. And while Parker, a masterful storyteller, is rightly a strong draw for his solo shows, what's captured on this track is a rare-these-days opportunity to hear him in his natural, full band, rock and roll setting, reeling out his most recent songs with the same fire as the ones that made his name.
Which brings us to Big Stir Records' big celebration of fifty years of Graham Parker recordings: a full-length vinyl LP of tracks from the Brook show, featuring songs spanning the man's complete career. First to be available exclusively at the Springtime US tour dates, the strictly-limited album will be released to the public by BSR in early summer, and better yet, it will be offered in a bundle with the recent authoritative book GRAHAM PARKER'S HOWLIN' WIND by rock writer Jay Nachman in collaboration with Parker and his bandmates of that era. More details will be announced soon, but for now, don some quality footwear of your own and cut a rug to GRAHAM PARKER & THE GOLDTOPS' fiery live take on “Soul Shoes.”
Last Stretch Of The Road + Back To Schooldays (Live)

BIG STIR RECORDS presents a special new single spanning the full career of rock legend GRAHAM PARKER: the studio recording “Last Stretch Of The Road” from his acclaimed 2023 album LAST CHANCE TO LEARN THE TWIST, backed with a brand new live version of “Back To Schooldays” from his 1976 debut album Howlin' Wind. Both tracks find the singer-songwriter backed by his current ace backing band THE GOLDTOPS, and they're out on all digital platforms June 7.
“Last Stretch Of The Road” is a marvel of song, and the near-title-track of LAST CHANCE TO LEARN THE TWIST (out now on Vinyl, CD and Streaming from Big Stir Records): the bittersweet title phrase appears at the end of the second verse, rhymed with a bit of Cockney slang in a move that's pure Parker. The whole tune drips with GP's trademark wicked wit despite its dark subject matter of mortality and regret. The song echoes both early and late-period Dylan in its easygoing folk-inflected groove, but it's Parker's inimitable lyric bite that's made it a fan-favorite staple of his live sets, solo and with The Goldtops, since before the 2023 release of Last Chance. It's been singled out as a highlight in many of the rapturous reviews of the record for the way it crystalizes the fresh approach taken by the veteran songwriter: short, sharp songs that hit as hard as anything in his considerable catalog.
The song had become iconic enough to serve as the opening number when Parker hit the road last Autumn in his native England backed by The Goldtops in exactly the same lineup from the record: Martin Belmont (guitar), Jim Russell (drums), Geraint Watkins (keys) and Simon Edwards (bass). Also on board, as on the LP, were backing vocal duo The Lady Bugs (Paige Stubley with Martha Evans covering Marietta Smith's parts) as the group performed most of the album along with a selection of Parker's classic catalog of tunes, going all the way back to the beginning as heard on the previously unreleased version of the classic and often-covered “Back To Schooldays” captured on tape and served up here as the B-side. It's a throwback to the start of the road for Parker, and it's a thrill to hear the same seasoned and utterly empathetic musicians heard on his latest album dig into a still-vital tune from his first.
Fans will have already noted that this isn't the first single from LAST CHANCE TO LEARN THE TWIST to feature live tracks from the UK tour: the standalone release of the album's “Sun Valley” featured a roaring rip through the album's “Since You Left Me Baby” and a cover of Sinatra's “That's Life”. And they might well be wondering, based on the quality of the performances and recordings alike, if there's more – perhaps even a full set or an album's worth of highlights -- yet to see the light of day. We at Big Stir Records can only say... well, yes. With his songwriting and vocal prowess stronger than ever, there's plenty of road ahead for GRAHAM PARKER, and we'll be delighted to share the next stretch of it with you... stand by for news later this year.

BIG STIR RECORDS presents a very special three-sided single spotlighting our biggest release of the year – the new album from rock legend GRAHAM PARKER – pairing one of the album's most-played tracks with two brand new live cuts recorded during Parker's acclaimed UK tour with his superb backing band The Goldtops just months ago. The album version of “Sun Valley” serves as the A-side, and it's joined by previously unreleased live readings of the rousing new album closer “Since You Left Me Baby” and the tour staple “That's Life,” best known a Frank Sinatra tune.
Just days after the September 8 release of the acclaimed album LAST CHANCE TO LEARN THE TWIST (out now on Vinyl, CD and Streaming from Big Stir Records), Graham Parker hit the road in his native England backed by The Goldtops in exactly the same lineup from the record: Martin Belmont (guitar), Jim Russell (drums), Geraint Watkins (keys) and Simon Edwards (bass). Also on board as on the record were backing vocal duo The Lady Bugs (Paige Stubley with Martha Evans covering Marietta Smith's parts from the LP) as the group performed most of the album along with a selection of Parker's classic catalog of tunes. By all accounts an all-too-brief triumph of a tour, it saw the tunes from the new record – including “Sun Valley,” featured here in its studio version -- getting their first onstage airings to rapturous response.
“As a song, 'Sun Valley' has been in the making for at least a decade,” says Parker. “It needed that long to unlock it, taking various arrangement directions until I find a way to not let it get ponderous, which was holding me back all along. I've still never been to Sun Valley!” In fact the song's sweeping economy is what has made it a breakout hit from the album: in just over three minutes, it moves from a tight and tasty soul groove with an instantly memorable chorus to a sweeping coda where Parker brings all of the records' guests to the party, including The Easy Access Horns and The Lady Bugs. It doesn't hurt that the lyrics and the vocal performance are among Parker's best.
The two live tracks were recorded by Robert Cooper on the tour's penultimate date at the Brook in Southampton on September 30. The fiery rendition of “Since You Left Me Baby” from Last Chance To Learn The Twist captured here makes this single a true document of Parker's current creative renaissance. Of the song's origins, the songwriter says: “'No, no!' I heard myself saying, as the words 'Since You Left Me Baby' popped out of my mouth as soon as I hit that opening riff on an acoustic guitar. Too obvious, not me at all! But when something comes as naturally as that, it cannot be replaced. I wish I'd got The Lady Bugs to sing it on the album, but we made up for that live anyway, as the world at large can now hear.” The Goldtops, too, are on fire here, and you've got a front row seat.
As for the second track from the live gigs, it's a surprising chestnut that's become a Goldtops live favorite, and Parker's impassioned delivery makes it clear why. “I remember playing 'That's Life' by Frank Sinatra repeatedly on a jukebox in a pub in Guilford, Surrey, England one night when I was not even of legal drinking age. 'I'll play that song one day,' I thought to myself, rashly, having no idea I'd ever be in a position to do just that. Job done!” Fortunately for fans, Graham Parker is far from done: LAST CHANCE TO LEARN THE TWIST has been raking in the raves and US solo dates for 2024 are already in the offing. As he recently told Q Magazine, he still makes records because he still writes songs, simple as that. And when they're as good as “Sun Valley” and “Since You Left Me Baby,” we can only be grateful that's the case.

Big Stir Records is proud to announce the release date for an all-new album from British rock legend GRAHAM PARKER. LAST CHANCE TO LEARN THE TWIST, credited to GRAHAM PARKER & THE GOLDTOPS and produced by Parker and Tuck Nelson, sees worldwide release on CD and all streaming services on September 8, with a limited-edition LP run on clear green vinyl to follow in October. The album, up for pre-order and pre-save now (https://orcd.co/grahamparker-lctltt), includes both of the pre-release singles that've brought Parker back to the worldwide airwaves throughout the summer, and will be supported by a full band tour of the UK this fall.
GRAHAM PARKER's first album of new material since 2018, LAST CHANCE TO LEARN THE TWIST finds the veteran singer-songwriter in top form, offering up thirteen new compositions with exquisitely tasteful backing by The Goldtops (bassist Simon Edwards, drummer Jim Russell, guitarist Martin Belmont and keyboard player Geraint Watkins) and frequent contributions from the Easy Access Orchestra horns and backing vocal duo The Lady Bugs. It's a dazzlingly diverse album: sweet classic soul grooves and roots rock sounds dominate, all framing lyrics dripping with Parker's vintage “Wicked Wit” (as one song title has it) and inimitable, impassioned vocal delivery. Two early singles have hinted at the record's depth: the devastatingly stark “We Did Nothing” with its heartbreaking examination of the cost of inaction on both the personal and global stages, and the delightfully playful reggae-tinged “Them Bugs.” But there's much more waiting to be discovered on the full album, which is at once one of Parker's most relaxed and boldest statements to date.
“My usual rather conservative arrangements went out the window on this album,” Parker says. “The songs morphed as they grew: 'Grand Scheme Of Things,' and particularly 'Sun Valley,' became less about 'parts,' as in a typical pop song, but more about 'movements.' Bridges arrive in unusual places, songs were restrained and held to under three minutes, The Lady Bugs sang like street corner ruffians on 'The Music Of The Devil,' then floated like the choir girls that they actually are on the ballads, infused with old soul. The Goldtops gave me everything I wanted. Yes, I’m more than pleased with this one.”
From the sinister shuffle of the opener “The Music Of The Devil” -- a mission statement of sorts for the album and perhaps the singer-songwriter's career – through the closing honky-tonk-inflected “Since You Left Me Baby,” Parker blends humor and heartbreak as only he can. Touching on concerns both intimate and culture-wide, often within the same song as on “We Did Nothing,” LAST CHANCE TO LEARN THE TWIST finds Parker moving from strength to strength over the course of its two sides. Highlights include the bittersweet, piano-led third single “It Mattered To Me,” the loose groove of “Sun Valley” with its soaring horns-and-harmonies coda, and the folksy meditation on mortality of the near-title-track “Last Stretch Of The Road” (already a fan favorite from its live airings at Graham's recent solo gigs in the US).
LAST CHANCE TO LEARN THE TWIST is as warm and inviting a record as Graham Parker has ever issued, but it also delivers all the unflinching honesty, literate nuance and passion his admirers have come to expect from him. September brings their first chance to hear it for themselves.

With a new album from rock legend GRAHAM PARKER on the way this September, Big Stir Records is proud to present the third advance single from the forthcoming and already widely praised LAST CHANCE TO LEARN THE TWIST. “It Mattered To Me” is one of the record's many highlights: a short, bittersweet and deeply-felt ballad of the type that's all too rarely heard today. It's out Friday, August 18, up for pre-order/presave now (https://orcd.co/grahamparker-imtm) and already working its charms across the airwaves worldwide as anticipation builds for the new album, Parker's first in five years and certain to be ranked among his finest.
Parker tells us about the development of the song and its point of departure from his prior work. “Picking up on the musical attitude of my previous album, Cloud Symbols, 'It Mattered To Me' felt at first to be almost the template for my latest album when I wrote it, and could have fitted in with that previous record seamlessly,” he says. “I had no idea that Last Chance To Learn The Twist would quickly morph into a very different affair due to the variety of the tunes and approaches to each number. 'It Mattered To Me' turned out to be as sweet as I knew it would - apart from the lyrics, that is. That’s another matter altogether…”
True to those words, “It Mattered To Me” sports a lovely melody and a nuanced, almost delicate vocal performance from Parker, but it possesses the razor-sharp edge listeners have come to expect and treasure. In less than three minutes, and wrapped around an unforgettable piano line, Parker's lyrics touch on tenderness, regret, and the pain of loss, shot through with typically devastating humor and, ultimately, a message for today: “It mattered to me when a friend got so cut up / By somebody who needed to shut up,” he sings, bringing it all home with the lines “It’s called empathy / We need more of that now.” Once again, Graham Parker delivers a timely musical insight that should matter to us all.
As on the album, Graham's current backing band THE GOLDTOPS -- SIMON EDWARDS (bass), JIM RUSSELL (drums), MARTIN BELMONT (lead guitar) and GERAINT WATKINS on that trademark piano – provide an impeccably sympathetic musical setting for the sentiment. Following the earlier singles from LAST CHANCE TO LEARN THE TWIST (the playful reggae-tinged “Them Bugs” and the lacerating lament “We Did Nothing), “It Mattered To Me” continues to showcase the variety and depth of the new record as a whole. The album is due September 8 on CD and Streaming worldwide, with a Limited Vinyl Edition to follow later this Autumn and a full-band UK tour scheduled in support of the release.
