Parker and band are together again after 31 years. Enjoy this set recorded weeks after the release of Squeezing Out Sparks.
Generally regarded as their best album, Squeezing Out Sparks placed at number 335 on Rolling Stone's 500 greatest albums of all time. Parker recorded another album with The Rumour in 1980, followed by a 31-year hiatus. Listen to "Coathangers", the first song revealed from the forthcoming album.
