Stick to Me is the third studio album by English singer-songwriter Graham Parker and the Rumour, released in 1977.[1]
Parker, interviewed by Steve Hammer, recalled the making of the album:
Rolling Stone critic Dave Marsh found that Stick to Me lacks highlights on the level of the best songs from Parker's previous releases and criticized its production, which he said "obscures the songs' drive and power, making murky some of the most lucid music around."[2]
Critical opinion of Stick to Me generally ranks it below their first two albums, Howlin' Wind and Heat Treatment. An undeniable shortcoming is the sound: the sessions suffered from a production mishap. The original recording was ruined, and all the songs needed to be rerecorded hastily. This accounts for the absence of bonus tracks on reissues – there weren't any leftovers.
All songs written by Graham Parker except as indicated.
