Parker's last album sought to shake off his long tenure with the Rumour through larger ensemble settings, only to blunt some of the songwriter's peppery force. Here he fronts a tauter, tighter band sparked by old partner Brinsley Schwarz on guitar, and the results should appease old admirers while restoring momentum to Parker's radio reception. As before, he tackles tough rockers ("Just Like A Man") and sadder-but-wiser ballads ("You Can't Take Love For Granted") with equal zest.
