4.0 out of 5 stars Move over Chuck Berry and tell Keith Richards the news, December 8, 2003
By Keef (Gaffney, SC USA) - See all my reviews
While "Stick to Me" is generally considered weaker than Parker's previous 2 albums, it may be more fun than either. STM finds Parker and the Rumour switching between bar band mode and the intensity of the earlier LPs. As far as songs go, there are enough good ones here for STM to hold its own. The standouts from a songwriter perspective are "Thunder and Rain," "Stick to Me" and "Watch the Moon Come Down." "The Raid" and "New York Shuffle" are great songs, too, but show the band's more playful, Chuck Berry side.

In the late 70s Parker and the Rumour were one of the best white R&B bands going, right up there with the Asbury Jukes, and nearly the equal of the 60s Stones. Parker would later slip a little too far into new wavish keyboards and sensitive singer-songwriter territory, but "Stick to Me" represents the hard R&B that personify GP's early efforts. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't underrate this gem!, May 2, 2006
By Scott Siegling "Roger Bradley's Handler" (West Branch, IA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Graham Parker's "Stick to Me" had a troublesome birthing process, with the entire album having to be re-recorded at little expense after the original production fell victim to disintegrating tape stock. Nick Lowe came in at the last moment and produced a quick and dirty version of an album that from all accounts was much more ambitious, arrangement and production-wise.
I always liked this album but it wasn't until seeing half or slightly over half performed live with the Figgs a few years ago that I think I "got it".
"I'm Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down" is a perfect cover for Graham, he would have written it eventually had he not been beaten to the punch.
The vinyl originally came with stickers of the cover.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the best Graham Parker, but not too bad either, July 18, 2003
By Kent Wall (Stockholm) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stick to Me (Audio CD)
"Stick to me" was not too highly acclaimed when it hit the stores in 1977. Dave Marsh, for instance, reviewed it for Rolling Stone and surely didn't appraise it as much as was the case for Graham Parker's previous work. Nonetheless, there are still some poignant songs here. Parker still possesses a hungry man's voice, a voice of a frustrated Englishman, and more than anything else ruthlessly is seeking love and romance in these songs while backed up by The Rumour. `Stick to me', `Problem Child', 'Watch the moon come down', 'Thunder and rain' are all fine tunes as far as I'm concerned. While not being as strong as Graham Parker's breakthroughs, it's still a pretty good record to take a turn with.

In addition, it's of course a bit of a nostalgia trip for many of us to revisit this period in time when the Brits had so much going for them in music. Graham Parker & The Rumour, Elvis Costello, Sex Pistols, The Clash and what have you. Those years, 1976-1980, were undoubtedly incredible for British music.

This is my favourite GP album. Although it does not have the rock & roll grandeur of "Squeezing Out Sparks", this album clearly ranks as one of the best albums of the 1970's.
