DYLAN COVERS #82 Graham Parker - I Threw it all Away/Licence to Kill

Bob Dylan Dylan Covers Graham Parker

Squeezing out the Sparks!

GRAHAM PARKER - I threw it all away(2001)

Graham Parker is quite hot at the moment he has reformed with his excellent backing band the Rumour and is currently doing the rounds to rave reviews. I thought it was only fitting that I did GP covering Dylan. The first one is a take of  "I threw it all away"   'about as perfect a song as you can get'  says Mr Parker. 'Bang on Mr Parker', I say! 

 Unfortunately it is not the best version and the slight reggae tinge does not feel quite right.


It was taken from the Dylan Tribute concert at the Town Hall New York 19th May 2001.
If anyone knows where I can get a copy I will be very happy

 

GRAHAM PARKER - Licence to Kill(2010)

The next one is Dylan's "License to Kill" taken from a concert at Pat Dinizio's 5th Annual Halloween Party
October 30, 2010 at Italian American Hall, Scotch Plains, NJ. What about that then.! There is another version at another location currently on You Tube, but the quality is a bit doggy!

MIDWEEK CRISIS your head is filled with rumour, come to WEDNESDAY CLUB we got a local boy and he will tell you things to please and line your pockets with Gold, maybe!.

GRAHAM PARKER - Fool's Gold

What is the best thing anyone can say to you (apart from you have won the lottery) well think about it, if someone says 'Have you lost weight?', you immediately feel good, it can even set you up for the whole day. On the other hand, if someone tells the bleeding truth and says 'have you put weight on?', you feel bad. The world is a bad place, am I really a fat bastard?

I have quite often said to people 'have you lost weight' even if I knew they had not but I am now right up there in their good books. It did not hurt me to say it, cost me nothing and I made somebody happy.  Am I being deceitful and not really being nice?

Have I given them  Fool's Gold ?

Every time I hear the bit at the end I always think of our brother SFW, it must because of the mention of the 'Valleys'. Funny how the old mind works.  

I loved Graham Parker during this period, he had several great albums and his backing band the Rumour were actually Brinsley Schwarz, a really tight outfit. GP was hailed as a new British Dylan or Bruce, praise indeed but a heavy expectation in my mind and he was only a wee fella.

Here is the original which is still one my GP favourites and in fact one of my all time favourites.

'Keep on searching in the Valleys and in the Deep Blue Sea.'
