The energetic Parker's third album firmly enhances his reputation as one of rock's more fiery performers. His husky, raw-edged vocals are packed with a driving, spirited urgency much in the manner of Springsteen. Parker's urban inner city sound is apparent in the lyrical content and rough, coarsely delivered instrumentals, reflective of the new restlessness among today's rebellious youth. Parker's effectiveness is maximized by his supporting band the Rumour, an acclaimed five piece outfit in its own right. Brinsley Schwartz's lead guitar sparks the charging rhythm section while the use of brass sweetens the arrangements. Best cuts: "Stick To Me," "Soul On Ice," "The Heat In Harlem," "Problem Child," "The New York Shuffle," "Clear Head." Dealers: Parker's last release "Heat Treatment" received commercial and critical acclaim. So should this one.
