Steady Nerves
Graham Parker
Released:
Label:
Rhino/Elektra
This 1985 album came out after Parker's masterwork, Squeezing Out Sparks, but as his devout fan base knows that doesn't matter. Parker's songcraft is on a par with Elvis Costello's, and the once out-of-print Nerves lives up to the rep, with lyrics as sharp as tacks and tight New Wave backing.
