With his first album on new label, Parker continues the sterling track record racked up on three superlative but neglected studio albums for RCA. His voice still a glassshearing rasp, his intelligence still preeminent, and his rage still boiling over, singer/songwriter shines on a masterful new portfolio of tunes. Leadoff track "Release Me," "Love Is A Burning Question," acoustic "Long Stem Rose," and scathing indictment of intolerance "Here It Come Again" indicate top quality of this well-produced set.
