"Graham Parker's Howlin' Wind"

In the Village Voice’s year-end 1976 Pazz & Jop Critics’ Poll, Graham Parker’s Howlin’ Wind placed fourth. In second place was his sophomore album, Heat Treatment. Number one was Stevie Wonder’s Songs in the Key of Life, and in third place was Jackson Browne’s The Pretender. Among that titanic company, it’s fair to say Parker more than held his own.
In his liner notes to Parker’s 2001 album, That’s When You Know, The Acoustic Demos & Live at Marble Arch, writer Nigel Williamson claimed, “Graham Parker and The Rumour had revitalized British music with their debut album Howlin’ Wind. Released in April 1976 to a wave of enthusiastic reviews that had compared Parker to Van Morrison and Bruce Springsteen, his raw and energetic vocals combined with his intelligently crafted songwriting had come at just the right moment. Indeed, at the time Parker appeared to be the savior of British music.”
Graham Parker’s Howlin’ Wind is the captivating story of how the critically acclaimed album came together. The book illuminates Parker’s musical influences and those of the members of his backup band, The Rumour, against a backdrop of the British music scenes of the 1960s and 1970s and details how each song on Howlin’ Wind was written and recorded.

Bennett Kelly
(Saturday)
Bennett will be selling and signing his new book "Sensation Blues"
Sensation Blues is a rock and roll novel, like a Catcher in the Rye but all bluesed up.

Set in the contemporary Mississippi Delta, SENSATION BLUES introduces precocious practitioner McKinley Robinson in pursuit of his “It.” With beloved older brother Paul off to play college football across the country, McKinley pours himself into his blues passions, hustling from the juke joints of Clarksdale’s Delta Avenue to the neon marquees of Beale Street, Memphis. Under the auspices of their hell-raising uncle Ira, McKinley cavorts with blues legends and courts unavoidable trouble with would-be authority figures on his clear-eyed leap over the cliff of self-discovery.
Bennett Kelly is an award-winning music journalist from New Jersey. He reports on the New Brunswick music scene for New Brunswick Today and profiles indie rockers for the Look At My Records! music blog. He formerly covered the NFL and professional tennis for a pair of sports publications and worked in radio production at WFUV 90.7 FM and WCBS Newsradio 880.
