Cultural Facts:

1. Pub-Rock Veteran: Parker came out of the British pub-rock scene in the mid-’70s, just before punk exploded, and was often grouped with artists like Elvis Costello and Joe Jackson.
2. The Rumour Connection: Much of his best-known early work was recorded with The Rumour, a band packed with musicians who had deep roots in Britain’s pub-rock circuit.
3. Songwriter’s Reputation: Parker earned a cult following for sharp, literate songwriting and a biting vocal style that helped bridge ’70s pub rock and the more angular new-wave era.
