About this album
The Parkerilla is a bracing live document of Graham Parker And The Rumour at full throttle, turning their sharp-edged songwriting and barbed wit into something leaner and more immediate than the studio originals. Issued in 1978, it draws on material from the band’s early run and shows why Parker was prized as one of the era’s most incisive British songwriters. The Rumour drive the songs with punchy guitars, tight rhythm work and a charged, nearly confrontational energy, giving favourites such as “Tear Your Playhouse Down” and “Hey Lord, Don’t Ask Me Questions” renewed force. It stands as a vivid snapshot of Parker’s rise during the new wave years.
