    Episode 396: Episode 396 - Graham Parker discusses "Howlin' Wind"

    "Howlin' Wind" from Graham Parker and the Rumour celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2026.  And so does "Heat Treatment!"  What better way to celebrate the anniversaries than to have Graham himself to discuss the album.  

    Plenty of other discussion including the Winter Olympics, prog rock, not knowing how to market Graham (especially in America), blues bands, Bruce & Bob comparisons, and Graham's 5 favorite albums (du jour) including some Otis and Velvet Underground.  

    Big shoutout to Jay Nachman, author of "Graham Parker's Howlin' Wind" for setting this up for us.  Go check out his book!
